CAD to BIM Conversion
Converted 2D CAD documentation into structured Revit models following client standards.
Commercial Building
CAD to BIM with LOD 300
CAD to BIM conversion producing a coordinated LOD 300 3D model with construction documents and quantity extraction for a commercial construction project in Scarborough.
Overview
Project Overview
This commercial construction project in Scarborough required converting CAD documentation into a coordinated LOD 300 3D BIM model. Our team developed the model and produced construction documents with quantity extraction and material association.
The deliverables provided the client with accurate 3D documentation and quantity data to support construction planning and procurement.
Level of Development LOD 300
Discipline Multi-Discipline
Location Scarborough, Canada

Client Challenges
Pain Points of the Client
Commercial construction projects converting from CAD need coordinated BIM models with reliable quantity data.
01
CAD Documentation Limitations
2D CAD sets lack the coordination and quantity intelligence that BIM models provide.
02
LOD 300 Coordination Requirements
Construction-phase models must reach LOD 300 with coordinated discipline elements.
03
Quantity and Material Accuracy
Procurement depends on accurate quantity extraction with correct material associations.
04
Construction Document Alignment
Drawing sets must stay synchronized with the coordinated 3D model throughout delivery.
Our Approach
How We Solved It
CAD to BIM conversion with LOD 300 modeling, construction documents, and quantity extraction.
LOD 300 Coordinated Modeling
Developed coordinated 3D models at LOD 300 across relevant disciplines.
Construction Document Production
Produced construction drawing sets extracted from the coordinated BIM model.
Quantity Extraction
Extracted quantities with material association from the LOD 300 model for procurement support.
Execution Strategy
A Structured CAD to BIM Workflow - Phase by Phase
Delivery moved from CAD intake through BIM conversion, LOD 300 modeling, and document production.
