Comprehensive BIM Outsourcing Services Tailored to Your Project Needs

By outsourcing your BIM modeling project to CAD Drafters, you are accessing a pool of talented experts that are focused on producing accurate, clash-free, and construction-ready BIM models specific to your project. Our BIM outsourcing services focus on your project from the design development through fabrication, and beyond to long-term, facilities management by helping you to save time, cost, and improve collaboration across the architecture, engineering, and construction teams. CAD Drafters help you maintain a trusted partner that allows you to efficiently scale and improve your project outcomes, while focusing on your expertise.

2D to 3D BIM Conversion

Let us convert your traditional 2D CAD drawings into intelligent, data-rich BIM models, in 3D form. We ensure every component will be correctly modelled to provide you with a digital base which can enhance visualization, coordination and planning.

As-Built BIM Modeling

Using point cloud scans or existing drawings, our team will produce highly accurate as-built BIM models to be used for renovations, retrofits, and facilities management projects, to ensure your building has an accurate digital twin.

Clash Detection & Coordination

BIM Outsourcing includes advanced clash detection modelling leveraging tools such as Navisworks. We will determine, and address, conflicts in coordinate locations across architecture, structural, and MEP systems before construction to minimize costly clashes.4.

Outsourcing MEP BIM Services

Our expertise lies in MEP BIM modeling outsourcing services that include coordinated models of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection. Our MEP model delivers a more efficient way of installing and integrating today’s building systems.

Structural BIM Modeling

The CAD Drafters team creates structural BIM models that include detailed components for beams, columns, trusses, and foundations. We ensure accurate and code-compliant structural BIM while considering skirtability and address it throughout the entire project. Working with CAD Drafters means you’ll have secure, compliant, and safe structural components in any project project that you outsource.

Architectural BIM Modeling

From conceptual designs to detailed construction documentation, our architectural BIM outsourcing services bring your idea to life. Our complete services are model-based, which supports design approval processes, along with visualization and coordination with other trades.

4D BIM (Scheduling, Phasing & Sequencing)

Our services include the outsourcing of 4D BIM and scheduling tied to your 3D models. The integration of Scheduling with 3D Models allows for clear visualization of constructions sequences and resourcing of spectacular results.

5D BIM (Cost Estimation)

Our 5D BIM outsourcing solutions link cost data and estimating with individual BIM elements, thus providing meaningful costing data and dynamic cost risk, with every stage of the project. These are used for budgeting, forecasting cost, and localising upstream expenditures through the weaving of site constraints and haul routes.

BIM for Facility Management

Continue to gain value beyond construction from your BIM model through our facility management outsourcing services. Our services include data-rich BIM models that support management for maintenance, operations, and lifecycle management.

Shop Drawings and Fabrication Models

Shop drawings and fabrication models will be provided to contractors, fabricators, and manufacturers, ready-stamped for fabrication to ensure consistency in the prefabrication process and as a means to improve production schedules.

BIM Documentation and Code Compliance

As part of our outsourcing services, BIM documentation is produced with accuracy, annotations, and includes documentation planned to code and in accordance with established industry standards, or your organization’s style guides if applicable.

Tailored BIM Outsourcing Services

Each project presents a different type of challenge. We offer flexible, and tailored outsourcing solutions –whether it is ongoing BIM support, a project partly outsourced, or the entirety of a project outsourced.
