CAD to BIM Conversion for a Construction Project in Scarborough, Canada

Brief Overview

We collaborated with a construction company to perform a CAD to BIM conversion for a project involving a two-floor building with a roof and basement. Our scope included creating a coordinated LOD 300 BIM model for architecture, structure, and MEPF disciplines based on preliminary drawings. The goal was to generate construction documents and extract quantities from the model.

Challenges/Requirements

Material Assignment

Ensuring accurate material assignment and applying the exact materials to the elements was challenging.

Quantity Extraction

Extracting quantities and associating them with the corresponding materials posed challenges in the project.

Deliverables

We provided a detailed and coordinated LOD 300 3D model for the Architecture, Structure, and MEPF disciplines, ensuring accurate representation and coordination of the project elements.

We generated construction documents directly from the BIM model, including plans, sections, elevations, and details, to support the construction process and facilitate clear communication among the project team.

Our team extracted quantity from the model and associated the extracted quantities with the corresponding materials, enabling accurate cost estimation and streamlined procurement processes.

Outcomes / Benefits

Time savings

CAD to BIM conversion saved time and accelerated project delivery by creating a coordinated LOD 300 3D model.

Cost efficiency

Accurate quantity extraction from the BIM model optimized cost estimation, resulting in cost savings and improved financial planning.

Enhanced project coordination

The coordinated 3D model improved collaboration and minimized rework, resulting in cost and time savings.

Improved decision-making

The detailed BIM model facilitated informed decision-making and optimized project execution.
