CAD / CloudPoint
to BIM
Migration of 2D CAD documentation and point cloud data into full BIM information models -- maintaining precision and the required Level of Detail (LOD).
Migration to the BIM standard
Do you have documentation in CAD format or laser scanning data? We will transform them into fully-fledged BIM models, ready for further coordination, cost analysis, visualisation, and building lifecycle management.
Our conversion processes cover both CAD-to-BIM (from 2D drawings) and CloudPoint-to-BIM (from point clouds), ensuring full geometric and information consistency at the required LOD level.

Scope of services
CAD to BIM -- Architecture
Conversion of 2D AutoCAD drawings into a three-dimensional architectural BIM model in Revit.
CAD → BIMCAD to BIM -- Structural
Structural BIM modelling based on 2D drawings -- foundations, columns, beams, and floor slabs.
StructuralCAD to BIM -- MEP Systems
Conversion of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical schematics into a coordinated BIM model.
MEPCloudPoint to BIM
Conversion of laser scanning data (point cloud) into a precise BIM model.
Scan → BIMFamily / Component Modeling
Creation of dedicated Revit components and families for conversion purposes -- custom building elements.
FamiliesDocumentation from BIM model
Generating complete 2D documentation from the newly created BIM model -- drawings, schedules, and specifications.
DocumentationLevels of Detail (LOD)
We select the LOD level to match project needs -- from concept to construction-ready model.
LOD 200 -- Conceptual
Approximate dimensions and shapes, general building geometry. Ideal for preliminary analyses.
LOD 300 -- Design
Accurate dimensions, materials, and element positions. Standard for building design documentation.
LOD 400 -- Construction
Full fabrication and assembly details. Model ready for prefabrication and construction.
LOD 500 -- As-built
As-built model verified on site. A digital twin for facility management.
Benefits of BIM conversion
From 2D to 3D
Flat CAD drawings gain the third dimension -- a full information model with parameters for every element.
Clash detection
Detecting cross-discipline clashes impossible in 2D -- eliminating errors before construction.
Precise cost estimates
Automatic quantity and material take-offs from the BIM model -- accurate cost estimation.
Faster design
The BIM model as a foundation for further project development -- changes propagate automatically.
