CAD & BIM Integration
Seamless integration with your design workflow. Professional deliverables in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, and industry-standard BIM formats.
About CAD & BIM Integration
Modern design and construction workflows demand survey data in specific formats. Our CAD and BIM integration capabilities ensure survey deliverables slot directly into your existing workflows without conversion hassles or data loss.
For civil engineering projects, we deliver in AutoCAD and Civil 3D formats with proper layer standards, surface objects, and annotation. For architectural and MEP work, we create Revit models from our scan data that integrate with your BIM coordination process. For GIS users, we export to geodatabase formats with proper attribution.
This isn't just about file formats—it's about understanding how our clients use survey data. An architect needs different deliverables than a civil engineer. A contractor needs different formats than a facility manager. We tailor our deliverables to fit your workflow, not the other way around.

Key Capabilities
Advanced features that set our cad & bim integration apart
Native File Formats
Deliver in native AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Revit formats—not exports that lose functionality. Your team works with full-featured files.
Layer Standards
Follow National CAD Standards (NCS) or your custom layer naming convention. Files are organized the way you expect.
BIM-Ready Models
Create Revit families and models at appropriate LOD for design coordination, clash detection, and construction documentation.
IFC Interoperability
Export to open IFC format for multi-platform BIM workflows and long-term archival without software lock-in.
Benefits for Your Project
How cad & bim integration delivers value to Florida property owners, developers, and engineers.
Zero Conversion
Work directly with our deliverables—no importing, converting, or rebuilding. Save hours of data manipulation.
Design Integration
Survey data appears correctly in your design software with proper coordinate systems, units, and object types.
Clash Detection
BIM models enable coordination between survey data and design elements, catching conflicts before construction.
As-Built to BIM
Convert existing conditions data from scans directly into intelligent BIM objects for renovation and facility management.
Equipment We Use
Industry-standard 2D and 3D CAD platform for survey drawings and plats.
Civil engineering design software with survey, surface, and corridor tools.
BIM platform for creating intelligent building models from survey data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about cad & bim integration
What AutoCAD version do you use?
We use AutoCAD and Civil 3D 2025 but can save back to older formats (2018+) upon request. Let us know your version requirements and we'll ensure compatibility.
Do you follow layer standards?
Yes, we follow National CAD Standards (NCS) by default but can adapt to your company standards. Provide your layer naming convention and we'll match it exactly.
What level of detail (LOD) for Revit models?
We typically deliver LOD 200-300 for design coordination, with key elements at LOD 400 when needed. LOD depends on project requirements and intended use. We'll discuss appropriate detail level during project scoping.
Can you work with our existing models?
Yes, if you have existing AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or Revit files, we can incorporate our survey data into your models rather than starting from scratch. This is often the most efficient approach for renovation projects.
