What We Offer

Whether you need specific manufacturer products or custom elements, we deliver robust families that integrate seamlessly into your BIM workflows.

A

Custom Parametric Family Development

Designing and building BIM families (e.g., for Revit, Microstation) from scratch based on your specific requirements and specifications.

B

Manufacturer-Specific Content

Creating accurate BIM models of real-world products from manufacturers' data sheets, enabling precise representation and procurement.

C

Highly Customizable Parameters

Integrating user-defined parameters that allow for quick modification of dimensions, materials, finishes, and other properties.

D

2D & 3D Detailing

Ensuring families have appropriate 2D representations for drawings and detailed 3D geometry for visualization and coordination.

E

Data-Rich Elements

Embedding relevant information into families, such as cost data, performance characteristics, URLs, and maintenance schedules, for enhanced data extraction.

F

Quality Assurance & Testing

Rigorous testing of families to ensure stability, flexibility, and proper functionality within BIM software.

G

BIM Library Development

Assisting in the organization and management of your custom family library for easy access and consistent use across your organization.
