What Is Architectural BIM?

A Coordinated Digital Representation of Building Design Information

Architectural BIM modeling combines three-dimensional building geometry with element properties, spatial relationships, material information and project data. Unlike disconnected drafting files, an intelligent BIM model connects plans, elevations, sections, schedules and views through one coordinated digital environment.

Structural Drafting Group supports architects, contractors, developers, consultants and project teams by converting concepts, CAD drawings, PDFs, sketches and point-cloud information into accurate architectural BIM models and drawing packages.

When one modeled element changes, related views and documentation can be coordinated through the same model—helping teams reduce inconsistencies and make informed decisions before construction.
Improved design visualization Consistent project documentation Better multidisciplinary coordination Earlier conflict identification Structured quantity information Support across project stages

Building form, spatial layout, dimensions, element placement and relationships between modeled components.

02

Project-defined type data, material information, classifications, identifiers and scheduled properties.

03
Documentation

Plans, sections, elevations, enlarged views, details, schedules, sheets, annotations and drawing references.

04

Model alignment with structural framing, MEP systems, shafts, openings, ceilings and construction interfaces.

05
Project Control

Templates, worksets, naming, linked files, revisions, model status and deliverable organization.

Model Development

Model Detail Defined Around the Intended Project Use

The required geometric and information content is confirmed at project setup. Not every project requires the same model detail, documentation or operational data.

CONCEPT

Conceptual Model

Basic massing, orientation, approximate areas, spatial intent and early-stage visualization.

SCHEMATIC

Schematic Model

Approximate architectural elements, layouts, systems, quantities and design-development references.

DETAILED

Detailed Design Model

Defined sizes, locations, interfaces, assemblies and coordinated documentation for design review.

CONSTRUCTION

Construction Documentation

Model content and drawing outputs aligned with construction-document and coordination requirements.

AS-BUILT

Record / As-Built Model

Verified updates based on approved redlines, surveys and available completed-condition information.

Coordinated building project supported by architectural structural and MEP BIM models
Multidisciplinary BIM Coordination One Coordinated Model Environment Before Site Execution
ARCHITECTURE Spaces, walls, doors, ceilings and finishes
STRUCTURE Columns, beams, slabs, framing and openings
MEP Ducts, pipes, trays, equipment and services
CONFLICTS IDENTIFIED Spatial and interface concerns reviewed before drawing issue COORDINATED OUTPUT Updated models and documentation aligned across disciplines
Coordination and Clash Review

Connect Architectural Design with Structural and MEP Information

Architectural BIM models act as an important coordination reference for structural framing, MEP routing, shafts, openings, ceiling zones, equipment clearances and building-envelope interfaces.

Coordinated review helps project teams identify spatial conflicts and incomplete interfaces earlier—when changes are generally easier to manage than after construction begins.

Model Alignment

Review project coordinates, levels, grids, linked models and common model references.

Interface Review

Check shafts, openings, ceilings, service zones, structural members and architectural assemblies.

Issue Tracking

Record review observations, responsibility, proposed resolution and model-update status.

Coordinated Release

Update the model and related documentation after approved coordination decisions.

Project Information and Outputs

Flexible Inputs with Clearly Defined BIM Deliverables

The project begins by confirming available source information, modeling requirements, documentation expectations, software versions and required exchange formats.

Typical Project Inputs

Available information is reviewed for completeness, accuracy, reference hierarchy and suitability for the requested model use.

2D AutoCAD drawings PDF drawing sets Architectural sketches Design-development drawings Point-cloud information Survey and as-built data Markups and redlines Specifications and schedules Structural and MEP models Client BIM standards

Typical BIM Deliverables

Deliverables are agreed before work begins so the model structure, documentation and exchange formats match the intended downstream use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Architectural BIM Modeling FAQs

Common questions about project inputs, model uses, coordination, deliverables and architectural BIM outsourcing.

What is architectural BIM modeling?
Architectural BIM modeling creates an intelligent three-dimensional representation of a building’s architectural design. The model can contain walls, floors, roofs, doors, windows, rooms, materials, schedules and other project-defined information used for visualization, coordination and documentation.
What information can be used to create an architectural BIM model?
Typical source information includes AutoCAD drawings, PDFs, sketches, design-development documents, specifications, schedules, point-cloud data, site surveys, redlines and linked structural or MEP models.
Can an existing 2D drawing set be converted into Revit?
Yes. Existing floor plans, elevations, sections and details can be reviewed and converted into a structured Revit architectural model. The model scope and required detail should be confirmed before work begins.
How does architectural BIM improve project coordination?
The architectural model can be reviewed together with structural and MEP information to identify concerns involving beams, columns, openings, shafts, ducts, pipes, ceilings, equipment and other building interfaces before construction.
What architectural drawings can be generated from the model?
Depending on the project scope, outputs may include floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, roof plans, elevations, sections, enlarged views, architectural details, door and window schedules, room information and drawing sheets.
Can architectural BIM support renovation and retrofit projects?
Yes. Existing-building models can be developed from survey drawings, point-cloud information, field records and verified redlines to support renovation planning, coordination and record documentation.
Which BIM file formats can be delivered?
Deliverables may include Revit models, IFC exchange files, Navisworks coordination files, DWG drawings and PDF documentation. The exact software version and file requirements should be agreed during project setup.
What should be confirmed before outsourcing an architectural BIM project?
Confirm the intended model use, available source information, required model detail, software version, coordinates, templates, naming conventions, required drawings, exchange formats, review stages, timeline and responsibilities.
