CAD to BIM Conversion
Our CAD to BIM services are easy to access and understandable. The designs and drawings derived from the model can be effectively worked at the construction site and along with proper usage of infotmation. Our CAD to BIM services include the conversion of AutoCAD drawings, PDFs, hand sketches, pictures, single line diagrams, and more.
DWG to RVT Conversion Services
MaRS BIM Solutions is the leading CAD to BIM conversion outsourcing company that explore the design and drawings of BIM project at the early stage. For creating and developing BIM models it is necessary to undertake necessary BIM software that makes the process easier and faster.
Our in-house team of BIM experts has expertise in understanding the CAD models, BIM models, plans, design, blueprints, and the layout that at the later stage are converted into 3D Revit models. These sets of designs and drawings are availed in a common file and cloud server that is known as Common Data Environment (CDE).
With the expertise and good knowledge to use necessary BIM technology and services, BIM engineers address all the necessary needs and requirements of building contractors, architectural consultants, MEP contractors, engineering firms, and sheet metal contractors to work with each other on different parameters of BIM projects and platform. This entire level of work has a smooth and effective transition with the undertaking of CAD to Revit Modeling services.
With multiple years of experience and a successful ratio of delivering BIM projects, we assure our clients in providing detailed and accurate BIM models. Different types of files are converted from different sources like PDF, sketches, handmade drawings, or even an image too. Not only this but the data is even extracted from 2D or 3D CAD files.
The work of 2D CAD to 3D BIM Modeling services helps develop a systematic BIM model that comprises of BIM models that is from current 2D floor plans to the building section in accurate and perfect CAD files that is precise and accurate.
With the help of software like Autodesk Revit and Naviswork, our BIM engineers can easily and accurately convert all types of drawings like architectural CAD drawings, structural CAD drawings, and MEP CAD drawings to BIM models. All these processes of undertaking CAD to BIM conversion services are worked with an intended design methodology and as per the clients’ need and demand for the BIM project.
Our BIM Conversion Services Includes:
2D To 3D Modeling
Our CAD to BIM Conversion Process:
Initial Assessment
Review CAD drawings for detail, quality, and project requirements to ensure suitability for conversion.
3D BIM Model Creation
Convert 2D CAD drawings into a precise 3D model, incorporating architectural, structural, and MEP elements.
Data Integration
Add relevant project data to the BIM model, such as material properties, finishes, and specifications.
Coordination and Clash Detection
Identify and resolve any conflicts between building systems to ensure a clash-free model.
Final Delivery
Provide the client with a fully detailed BIM model along with any required 2D drawings or schedules.
Post-Delivery Support
Offer additional support for using or updating the model, if needed.
Benefits Of CAD to BIM Conversion
Better Project Coordination
BIM ensures all building systems (architectural, structural, MEP) are well-coordinated, with clash detection to avoid conflicts during the construction phase.
Support for Future Renovations
The rich data in BIM models helps in facility management and future renovations by providing a detailed, up-to-date reference of the building’s components and systems.
Compliance with Industry Standards
BIM models ensure that designs adhere to local building codes and industry standards, reducing the risk of non-compliance and ensuring smoother approvals.
Future-Proofing Projects
As BIM becomes the industry standard, converting CAD drawings to BIM ensures that your project is future-proof, allowing for easier updates and integration with new technologies over the building’s lifecycle.
Maintenance and Facility Management
BIM models serve as a valuable resource for building owners, providing detailed information for maintenance, repairs, and facility management, reducing operational costs over time.
Clash-Free Construction
Clash detection features in BIM ensure that potential conflicts between architectural, structural, and MEP systems are identified and resolved during the design phase, reducing on-site construction issues.

CAD to BIM Conversion FAQs
Common CAD file formats that can be converted to BIM include DWG, DXF, DGN, and PDF. The specific capabilities depend on the BIM software used for conversion.
Popular software for CAD to BIM conversion includes Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, ArchiCAD, and Tekla Structures. These programs facilitate the creation and manipulation of BIM models.
The level of detail in a BIM model is determined by project requirements and the intended use of the model. LOD ranges from basic geometry (LOD 100) to detailed components with complete data (LOD 500).
The time required for conversion depends on factors like the complexity of the CAD drawings, the size of the project, and the desired level of detail in the BIM model. It can range from a few days to several weeks.
While existing CAD drawings can be used, it’s often necessary to clean and optimize them to ensure accuracy in the BIM model. This may include fixing layers, scaling, and ensuring correct dimensions.
Challenges can include discrepancies in the CAD drawings, incomplete information, differences in standards between CAD and BIM, and the need for thorough validation of the final BIM model.
Data is integrated by embedding attributes and parameters related to materials, costs, and performance metrics directly into the model, which can be done manually or through automated tools.
Yes, training is often recommended for stakeholders to understand how to navigate and utilize the BIM model effectively, especially if they are transitioning from CAD to BIM workflows.
Yes, BIM models can be updated as the project evolves. Changes can be made easily, ensuring that the model remains accurate throughout the design and construction phases.
BIM models enable all project stakeholders to access a centralized, up-to-date model that enhances visibility, fosters communication, and facilitates collaboration across disciplines.
