01 · MODELING BIM Modeling.

We author and document architectural, structural, MEP, landscape, and interiors models — tagged to the right LOD, federated cleanly, and handed off in formats your downstream teams can actually consume.

Section 01 · The problem

Why "just give us the Revit file" almost never works.

A model that opens cleanly in the modeler's machine and a model that survives federation, contractor handoff, and as-built revisions are not the same model. The gap is mostly discipline — naming conventions, LOD consistency, parameter hygiene, sheet management, shared-coordinate alignment — and the cost of the gap is paid in site coordination meetings six months later.

We author models with the downstream user in mind: the coordinator who needs to federate it, the contractor who needs to extract quantities from it, and the facility manager who'll maintain the building from it.

A model is a tool, not a deliverable. It earns its keep at federation — not in the modeler's machine.

Section 02 · Our approach

Five steps from kick-off to handoff.

Establish the BIM execution plan

LOD by element, sheet conventions, file naming, shared coordinates, federation cadence — all written down before the first wall goes in.

Set up the template

Project template, shared parameters, view templates, and family library tuned to the project — not the modeler's defaults.

Author by discipline

Architectural, structural, MEP authored in parallel with shared-coordinate sync. Daily commits, weekly federation runs.

Document to sheet set

Plans, sections, elevations, schedules — drawn in-model, annotated to standard, version-controlled.

Hand off to coordination

Federation export (IFC + native), data dictionary, COBie if required. Downstream team can pick up and run.

Each step has a published exit criterion. Nothing moves forward until the criterion is met — which sounds like overhead, but in practice eliminates 80% of the coordination thrash that happens when modelers are graded on what's visible in their files rather than what survives federation.

Section 03 · Deliverables

What you receive.

01

Discipline models

Native (.rvt / .ifc) per discipline, properly LOD-tagged, federation-ready.

02

Sheet set

Plans, sections, elevations, schedules — drawn in-model, exported PDF + DWG.

03

Data dictionary

Shared parameters, naming conventions, classification matrix.

04

Quantity take-off

Element counts, areas, volumes — exported to CSV / contractor format.

05

COBie data drop

When required: equipment & asset data structured for FM handoff.

06

Issue log & sign-off

Documented review cycles, sign-off per phase, version archive.
