CAD to BIM Conversion at LOD 300 for India based Firm

Our team executed a comprehensive CAD to BIM conversion at LOD 300 entailing architecture, structure and MEPF disciplines into a 3D model for a building project in India.

CAD to BIM Conversion at LOD 300 for India based Firm

The Challenge

  • Ensuring absolute data consistency and accuracy during the manual conversion of 2D CAD to 3D BIM.
  • Aligning interconnected building sections with complex geometries to maintain structural and architectural integrity.
  • Balancing LOD 300 detail requirements to ensure model efficiency is unnecessary.
  • Synchronizing disparate data from architecture, structure and MEPF into a single coordinated environment.
  • Adhering to strict project standards while managing the scale of a large scale multi discipline development.
  • Resolving spatial conflicts between MEPF system and structural elements within tight floor to floor heights.

The Solution

  • Developed a high precision 3D model for all building disciplines based on verified CAD reference.
  • Created a federated BIM model to centralize design validation and perform cross discipline coordination.
  • Implemented standardized modeling workflow to minimize rework and improve inter team efficiency.
  • Strategically modeled MEPF components at precise spatial location to facilitate early stage clash detection.
  • Utilized advanced Revit families to represent load bearing elements, HVAC ducts and conduits accurately.
  • Consistent quality audits throughout the conversion process to ensure adherence to LOD 300 boundaries.

The Result

  • Delivered fully coordinated, clash free digital twin that served as a foundation for design validation.
  • Minimized on site conflicts through the early integration of MEP disciplines and structural systems.
  • Streamlined project timeline by providing BIM 3D model, integrated with every detail for accurate decision making.
  • Enhanced collaboration and communication within the federated model.
  • Optimized material estimation and planning through accurate 3D representation of buildings.
  • Internal capabilities for handling large scale multi discipline BIM projects.
