BIM draft design — FAQ
What affects BIM draft design price the most?
The largest drivers are discipline (AR/STR/MEP), LOD level (200 vs 300), project area (m²), number of draft sheets, rush options and special deliverables such as IFC/COBie or Point Cloud → BIM draft design.
Can we start with a fixed BIM draft package and expand later?
Yes. BIM draft design packages (Starter, Pro, Enterprise) scale with scope. You can begin with a pilot package, then add per-m² or hourly work as the project grows.
Do you work with US codes, title blocks and BIM standards?
Yes. USA pricing is typically EU × 1.15 and we adapt BIM draft design models and sheets to regional standards, naming and sheet templates, including your own BEP and LOD matrix.
What payment terms do you use for BIM draft design?
Standard terms are 40% advance, 40% midway and 20% at handover. EU reverse charge applies for eligible B2B clients under EU VAT rules.
Which authoring tools do you use for BIM draft design?
Most BIM draft design work is delivered in Autodesk Revit with IFC exports. For structural/RC or future fabrication, we can also prepare models that are Tekla-ready based on the agreed LOD and scope.
What is the typical turnaround time?
For BIM draft design up to about 500 m², typical delivery is 7–14 days depending on disciplines and LOD. Larger or multi-stage projects are scheduled with you during scoping.
