Tasks
When 3D / BIM modeling is needed
A working BIM model is needed
Design, reconstruction, survey or operation requires a precise digital model.
A point cloud must become a project base
Raw scans are hard for designers to use, so they must become a clear model and drawings.
The team needs one shared model
Architects, engineers and contractors need a shared geometric base.
Revit, Archicad, IFC or SketchUp are required
The model must open in the required software and match the team's standards.
Drawings and documentation are needed
Plans, sections, facades, elevations and DWG/PDF deliverables are required.
Working deliverable
A BIM model as a project tool, not just a good-looking 3D picture
At the start we define the model goal, LOD/LOG, delivery formats and acceptance criteria. The result can be handed to architects, BIM managers, design teams, restoration specialists or facility teams without re-explaining the task.
- RVT / IFC / PLN / SKP
- agreed model formats
- LOD 200-300+
- detail level matched to the project
- QC before handoff
- geometry, levels and archive check
Model for design work
Walls, slabs, openings, facades, structure and engineering zones are built for further project use.
Documentation with the model
Plans, sections, facades, elevations, schedules and DWG/PDF sheets are prepared as required.
Clear acceptance criteria
We agree tolerances, source data, deliverables and model limitations before production starts.
LOD / LOG / control
We show what model you will get and where its limits are
The main buyer risk is receiving a file that looks dimensional but cannot support design work. We reduce that risk through a detail matrix, source-data control and handoff checks.
LOD 300
- Use case
- Design, reconstruction and coordination
- Included
- Accurate geometry from point clouds or surveys, openings, facades and base engineering zones
- Acceptance
- Dimensions, levels, family structure and IFC export are checked
LOD 300+
- Use case
- Heritage, complex interiors, engineering and industrial zones
- Included
- Nodes, custom elements, refined LOG structure and extended drawing set
- Acceptance
- Scope and accuracy are fixed in the brief before work starts
Model basis
Point cloud, DWG/PDF, photos, 360 tour or measurements are selected according to required accuracy.
Format check
RVT/IFC/PLN/SKP, source-data archive and documentation readability are checked before delivery.
Limitations note
We mark areas where source data is insufficient or additional inspection is required.
Cost and timing
Budget guidelines before source files are transferred
These are Russian-market guidelines for a quick budget conversation. The final estimate depends on source data, area, LOD/LOG and required formats.
Architectural BIM model from a point cloud or measurements
- Budget guide
- from 180-350 ₽/m²

- Budget guide
- custom estimate
- Timing
- from 10 business days
- Comment
- Requires a separate detail matrix and acceptance criteria
DWG/PDF drawing set for the model
- Budget guide
- from 120-250 ₽/m²
- Timing
- in parallel with the model
- Comment
- Plans, sections, facades and elevations by agreed scope
Model check/adaptation for IFC, Archicad, Revit or SketchUp

Urgent work usually adds 20-40%. If site capture, scanning or measurements are needed, we estimate them separately and combine schedules where possible.
Positioning
How BIM modeling differs from scanning, measurements and visualization
Laser scanning
- What it gives
- Accurate point cloud of the existing condition
- When to use
- When the object needs to be captured quickly and precisely
Point cloud processing
- What it gives
- Registration, cleaning, structuring and data export
- When to use
- When scans already exist but need to be prepared for designers
Measurements and DWG
- What it gives
- Plans, facades, sections and measurable 2D documentation
- When to use
- When a clear AutoCAD base is needed without a full BIM model
BIM / 3D modeling
- What it gives
- Working digital model with agreed structure, formats and documentation
- When to use
- When the team needs to design, coordinate, restore or operate the asset
Visualization
- What it gives
- Images for presentation, sales or concept approval
- When to use
- When appearance matters more than engineering usability
Typical tasks where BIM pays back
Kaliningrad shopping centre, 2,000 m²
Commercial area scanned before fit-out design
BIM model and floor plans became the design basis.
Cosmos Hotel lobby, 1,350 m²
Existing geometry before interior renovation
ArchiCAD model and AutoCAD drawings were handed to the design team.
Heritage and complex historical buildings
Facades, interiors, towers and custom geometry
The model gives restoration teams an accurate digital base.

FAQ
BIM modeling questions
Can you make a model from drawings only?
Yes, but accuracy depends on drawing quality. For existing objects, point clouds or measured survey data are better.What formats do you deliver?
Revit RVT, Archicad PLN, IFC, SketchUp SKP, plus DWG/PDF for drawings and OBJ/FBX for 3D tasks.What level of detail is possible?
Detail is agreed by task: from general geometry to structures, openings, engineering zones and parameters.Can we get drawings with the model?
Yes. We produce plans, sections, facades, elevations, schedules and a PDF/DWG set by agreed scope.Do you work with third-party point clouds?
Yes. We check format, density, registration, zone coverage and prepare a model from the supplied data.How long does modeling take?
Timing depends on area, detail and delivery scope. Small tasks start from several business days.Can you work in our template?
Yes, if you provide the template, BIM standard, naming rules and parameter requirements.What is needed for a quote?
Send the point cloud or drawings, area, object type, required format, detail and timeline.
Need a 3D or BIM model of an object?
Send a point cloud, drawings or a task. We will suggest model scope, formats and timeline.
