CAD to BIM Conversion
Converted 2D CAD documentation into structured Revit models following client standards.
Residential Building
CAD to BIM with LOD 350
CAD to BIM conversion at LOD 350 with clash detection, interdisciplinary coordination, and construction scheduling support for a residential building project.
Overview
Project Overview
This residential project required converting existing CAD documentation into a coordinated LOD 350 BIM model. Our team developed architectural and discipline models with clash detection and interdisciplinary coordination throughout.
Construction scheduling and project tracking were integrated into the delivery workflow to support the client's construction planning needs.

Client Challenges
Pain Points of the Client
Residential projects converting from CAD to BIM face coordination gaps and schedule pressures that structured BIM delivery addresses.
01
Legacy CAD Documentation Gaps
Existing 2D drawings often lack the coordination detail needed for modern construction workflows.
02
Multi-Discipline Coordination
Architectural, structural, and MEP systems must align in a single coordinated model at LOD 350.
03
Clash Prevention Before Construction
Undetected conflicts between disciplines can cause costly field rework on residential builds.
04
Schedule and Tracking Integration
Construction teams need BIM models linked to scheduling and tracking for effective project control.
Our Approach
How We Solved It
CAD to BIM conversion followed by LOD 350 modeling, clash detection, and coordinated delivery.
LOD 350 Model Development
Built coordinated discipline models at LOD 350 with accurate element representation.
Clash Detection and Coordination
Ran federated clash tests and resolved interdisciplinary conflicts through Navisworks.
Scheduling and Tracking Support
Integrated construction scheduling and project tracking into the BIM delivery workflow.
Execution Strategy
A Structured CAD to BIM Workflow - Phase by Phase
Delivery moved from CAD intake through BIM conversion, LOD 350 modeling, clash detection, and final coordination.
