How the package is defined
CAD to BIM sits inside CAD & PDF to Revit. A Revit file is not automatically a full BIM deliverable unless that information requirement is specified.
Questions
CAD to Revit conversion produces an accurate, editable Revit model from 2D drawings. CAD to BIM conversion goes further: the model is built with structured, coordinated information for BIM use — consistent element categorisation, parameter data and, where required, IFC export for coordination with other disciplines.
Drawings can be rebuilt as native Revit elements with consistent categories. Whether that meets a BIM information requirement depends on what the appointment asked for — parameters, naming and exchanges have to be specified. A Revit file is not automatically a full BIM deliverable.
The model can be developed to an agreed level of detail based on the available information and the intended use. Categories, parameters and documentation are confirmed in the quotation before work begins.
Yes. If you need IFC for coordination with consultants or contractors, confirm that at quotation stage so the model is structured and exported accordingly. IFC export is available as part of the agreed scope.
Yes. Converting existing 2D drawings into a structured model means the team does not have to rebuild everything from scratch. The delivered model can be used as a starting point for coordination, client deliverables or as a reference for later work.
A typical package includes 2D CAD or PDF drawings (plans, sections, elevations), any available schedules or specifications, and a note on how the model will be used — including whether IFC export or a specific level of development is required. We review the package and issue a fixed quotation.
Yes. The model is built using Revit's native element categories, so your team can open, modify and develop it after delivery.
