Custom Home Drafting
Every dream home begins with an idea our custom home drafting service can help you put that idea into a fully detailed plan. We draft exceptional floor plans, elevations, and construction details tailored to your lifestyle, site conditions, and local building requirements.
Renovation and Remodel Drafting
Whether it’s a kitchen or a laundry room renovation, or you’re planning to renovate all the floors in your house, CAD Drafters’ renovation drafting services provide you with plans that provide your contractors with precise documentation of your new plans, structural changes, and new systems – so there are no unanswered questions, increased costs, or time delays.
Architectural Model Development
Our team converts architectural floor plans, elevations, and sections into the correct 3D BIM elements. This means that the result will be walls, doors, windows, floors, ceilings, and roofs, and we know the correct dimensions/parametric behavior of the elements.
Integration of Structural Elements
We model any major structural elements,, including structural columns, beams, foundations, trusses, and slabs,, and connect them as independent elements to the model,, ensuring that the model is accuratewithn respect to actual buildability within the architectural scope.
MEP Systems Conversion
If applicable, we convert the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems from CAD to BIM by modeling ducts, pipes, conduits, equipment, and fixtures, and connecting them with the correct routing and size to ensure a clash-free coordination of the whole model.
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.
Materials & Finishes Application
We apply appropriate materials, finishes and classification codes to all modeled elements to ensure that the BIM Model for visualization, rendering, and construction documentation is complete.
Model Coordination & Clash Detection
We coordinate the converted model with the architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines within Navisworks (to compare and ensure identifications) or Revit (to identify clashes of elements modeled in a single space). We will conduct clash detection to identify and resolve conflicts early, ideally eliminating the potential for issues, errors, and delays on-site.
Construction Documentation
We can generate accurate 2D documentation from the same BIM model, allowing the production of detailed floor plans, elevations, sections, and details. These drawings are then ready to be issued for construction or to complete a submission package for permitting.
Schedules & Quantity Take-offs
We can create automated material schedules, using the quantities from the model, providing you with an accurate basis for estimating costs, procurement, and any 4D/5D planning.
Quality Assurance & Model Validation
Our quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) teams perform a final audit of the BIM model to validate that it has been accurately produced, checked for consistency, and is compliant with ISO 19650 or AIA LOD classifications.
Final Delivery & Support
After validation, we can deliver all BIM files and facilitate their integration into your construction process, facilities management, or future phases of new projects. Ongoing support may be available, depending on the project, as it progresses.
