Facade Building Information Modelling Australia
Practical BIM models for facade coordination and documentation
Facade Drafting Solutions provides Building Information Modelling services for facade contractors, manufacturers and project teams across Australia. We develop coordinated 3D models from the available architectural, structural and facade information to improve communication and support project delivery.
BIM makes complex geometry and building interfaces easier to understand. A coordinated model can help teams review the design, identify clashes and produce consistent project documentation before work reaches site or fabrication.
Our BIM services can include
3D facade and building-envelope modelling
Model development from 2D project information
Window, door, cladding and curtain-wall modelling
Coordination of facade interfaces
Model-based plans, elevations and sections
Construction and workshop drawing support
Design review models and visualisations
Incorporation of coordinated design changes
Model and drawing issue packages to the agreed scope
Our process
Review the brief. We review the project drawings, model requirements and required outputs.
Develop the model. We build the facade model to the agreed scope and level of information.
Coordinate updates. We review interfaces and incorporate agreed project changes.
Issue deliverables. We provide the model and documentation in the agreed formats.
BIM FAQs
Can you develop a model from 2D drawings?
Yes. We can build a model from suitable architectural, structural and facade drawings, subject to the available information and agreed scope.
Can the model support workshop drawings?
Yes. Model views and coordinated information can support plans, elevations, sections and detailed workshop documentation.
What files should we provide?
Current architectural and structural information, relevant specifications, nominated facade systems and any available project models provide the best starting point.
