Drive Project Success with Advanced, Accurate BIM Modelling

At CAD Drafters, we offer a complete range of BIM modelling services to assist architects, engineers, contractors, and developers in converting the design concepts into clash-free physical construction. Our firm has been fully BIM enabled since 2009 and provides a comprehensive service of BIM from schematic models to fabrication shop drawings and complete intelligent as-builts; maintaining maximum use of artificial intelligence to produce all BIM models using the industry leading design software, we coordinate between trades/neighbours/risk assessments, ensuring every phase of the project adheres to legal codes of compliance and timelines are efficient and adept. Convert existing structures into accurate digital models using Scan to BIM.

Architectural BIM Modelling

We are poised to provide a complete architectural BIM model from the early stages of design development and concept modelling through to detailed as-builts. We can produce models that facilitate design visualisation, coordinated trade and project compliance with all local and international standards.

Structural BIM Services

Our structural BIM service team provides 3D modelling for concrete, steel, and precast structural systems. We provide our clients with fabrication-ready shop drawings, rebar detail drawings, and parametric libraries of our drawings to support construction sequencing and eliminate clashes.

MEP BIM Coordination

Our MEP BIM services cover mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems. We provide 3D coordination, clash detection, and resolution, along with detailed shop drawings, to make sure all systems come together seamlessly and are easy to install on-site.

Scan to BIM

Our scan-to-BIM services allow you to create an intelligent 3D model of your existing building or site. We take the point cloud data and make an accurate as-built BIM model for renovations, facility management and/or sustainability improvements.

4D BIM Scheduling

With our 4D BIM services, you can add time to your model. With model coordination and project scheduling integrated with your 3D model, we can better project the phase, logistics plan, and develop progress tracking in real time to potentially stay ahead of deadlines.

Revit Family Creation

We create parametric Revit families of custom elements, such as doors, windows, furniture, or unusual structural and MEP components, so your model accurately represents the design intent in a library of reusable and editable content.

Facade BIM Detailing

We can provide you with high-accuracy shop drawings and 3D models encompassing custom building envelopes incorporating curtain walls and unitised systems with BIM-enhanced facade detailing services. This allows us to support optimised design for complex architectural design that needs to be fabricated and installed precisely.

BIM and Modular Construction

Fast-track your project with our BIM solutions for modular construction. We produce accurate module drawings and fully coordinated models which minimize waste and simplify off-site fabrication.

BIM Consulting & Process Implementation

Our BIM consultants will work with you to seamlessly integrate BIM workflows into your operations. From BIM Execution Plans (BEP) to training and standards development, we set your team up so you can do things efficiently and collaboratively.

BIM Clash Detection & Resolution

Don’t let surprise onsite clashes become costly! Using your design model we use our software to identify design conflicts earlier in the process, coordinate with trades, and provide you with a conflict free model that enables your construction to run smoothly on site.

6D BIM for Facility Management

Extend the value of BIM for your owners with our 6D BIM service. We deliver intelligent, as built models integrated with facility data to promote better management of maintenance, space planning, and future upgrades for facility owners.

Quantity Take-offs & 5D Cost Estimates

Keep a handle on your budget with our 5D BIM service. We link accurate quantity take-offs with cost estimates which allows you to forecast, get real-time feedback on costs as changes are happening, and make the most informed financial decisions at every stage of your project.

Key Advantages of Professional BIM Modelling

When you partner with a qualified BIM modelling provider, you are not receiving just 3D models you are getting piece of mind. When your project is developed from precise, fully-coordinated, clash-free, data, you are saving time making mistakes, redoing tests, and maintaining control from concept through to facility management. Our talented BIM professionals make sure that every stakeholder stays on the same page, every clashing system is identified well in advance, and the entire process is seamless as it flows towards successful delivery. Get detail-oriented Architectural BIM Modeling.

Advanced Technology & Tools for Superior BIM Results

Using leading industry tools such as Revit, Navisworks, Tekla, AutoCAD, and an industry leading clash detection software, we are able to create highly detailed, coordinated, clash-free, BIM models. With these technologies we can provide clear, editable, and sharable files that make sure your design team, contractors, and owners stay in lock-step with their designs and workflow. This ultimately results in a more predictable build, fewer RFIs, and increased performance at every level of delivery.

How We Turn Your Vision Into Efficient BIM Modeling Services: Our 9-Step Process

Customer Reviews

CAD Drafters has been an amazing resource that has transformed the way we think about the construction process on our hospital expansion project. Their BIM team worked with us to coordinate all of our MEP and structural models, and caught clashes long before they became expensive problems in the field. With an outstanding level of detail, they were always available, communicated regularly, and provided ahead of schedule.

John M., Residential Builder★ ★ ★ ★ ★

We needed accurate as-built models for a significant renovation of a historic structure, and CAD Drafters' scan-to-BIM service fit that bill perfectly. The level of detail in the 3D models helped us plan each phase with absolute certainty and minimizing surprises once we got on site with construction. Recommended
