Structural BIM Services in Revit & Tekla for LOD 200–400
MaViAl provides structural BIM production and coordination for building projects, from disciplined one-model structural scopes to multidisciplinary coordination. We develop reviewable structural models and documentation packages based on the agreed model purpose, LOD/LOI, source information and delivery requirements.
Last reviewed:
Structural BIM scope
The page is focused on structural BIM production. Fabrication-specific steel and rebar scopes are separated into dedicated service pages so their pricing units are not mixed with area-based structural modeling.
Structural coordination
Model federation, opening and interface review, clash issue workflows and structural updates based on approved resolutions.
Tekla integration
Structural handoff and fabrication-oriented workflows where Tekla is required, with dedicated steel or rebar detailing routed to the relevant service page.
Structural BIM planning rates
For one structural discipline modeled from complete drawings, the August 2026 MaViAl benchmark recommends the following planning ranges. These are budget ranges for remote BIM production, not automatic fixed quotations.
| LOD | Typical structural BIM use | European Union | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| LOD 200 | Generic structural geometry for early coordination and model setup | €2.5–4.0/m² | $0.25–0.45/sf |
| LOD 300 | Accurate size and location with documentation support | €3.5–6.0/m² | $0.35–0.65/sf |
| LOD 350 | Interfaces, clearances and coordination-ready structural geometry | €5.5–9.0/m² | $0.55–0.95/sf |
| LOD 400 | Fabrication-oriented structural modeling where the element matrix and input data support it | €8–14/m² | $0.80–1.40/sf |
EU hourly structural BIM support
- Revit modeler — €32–45/h
- Senior Revit / discipline owner — €45–60/h
- BIM coordinator — €50–70/h
- BIM manager / lead — €70–90/h
US hourly structural BIM support
- Revit modeler — $55–75/h
- Senior Revit / discipline owner — $65–90/h
- BIM coordinator — $75–105/h
- BIM manager / lead — $100–135/h
Pricing scope: planning ranges cover remote BIM production only. Final fee depends on discipline, LOD/LOI, input quality, project standards, revision cycles and schedule. VAT/sales tax, site visits, laser scanning, licensed design, permits and professional stamps are excluded unless expressly stated in the commercial scope.

How a structural BIM engagement starts
1. Input review
We review available files, structural discipline, model purpose, LOD/LOI, required outputs and target dates.
2. Scope definition
Deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, coordination responsibilities, review points and commercial basis are confirmed before production.
3. Production & QA
Modeling and documentation proceed against the agreed scope, followed by delivery checks and issue-controlled handover.

Structural BIM FAQ
Which LOD levels are covered on this structural BIM page?
The published planning matrix covers LOD 200, 300, 350 and 400. The final scope must define the structural discipline, intended model use, information requirements and deliverables.
How are EU and US structural BIM rates presented?
EU planning ranges are shown per square metre and US planning ranges per square foot for one-discipline BIM modeling from complete drawings. Fixed pricing is confirmed after the files and scope are reviewed.
Do steel and rebar detailing use the same area rates?
No. Fabrication-oriented steel and rebar detailing use dedicated units and dedicated pages so metric tonnes, short tons and drawing-based prices are not mixed with structural BIM area rates.
Which file formats can be delivered?
Typical outputs include RVT or Tekla native files where agreed, IFC, DWG, PDF, schedules or quantity outputs, and coordination issue records when included in scope.
