CAD to Revit conversion services

Existing 2D CAD drawing sets rebuilt as coordinated Revit models, ready for design changes, coordination or as-built records, ordered on their own.

What you get

  • A Revit model built from your 2D CAD drawings, floor by floor
  • Walls, floors, roofs, doors and windows, and the MEP systems you choose to include
  • Levels, grids and views set up to match your drawing set
  • Sheets that reproduce the original drawings, if you need them
  • The Revit file, with PDF exports of the views

When you need a CAD to Revit conversion

  • An existing building is being renovated and the design team works in Revit
  • The owner wants a model for as-built records or facility management
  • New MEP work has to be coordinated with an existing building
  • Old CAD drawings need to sit in the same model as the new work
  • A project needs clash detection against existing conditions

How it works

  1. 1

    Send the CAD files

    The DWG drawings for every floor, the sections and elevations, and your Revit template if you have one.

  2. 2

    We confirm scope and fee

    An engineer replies within one business day, and we sign an NDA before you send files.

  3. 3

    We build the model

    Each floor is modelled from the CAD drawings on its own level and grid, at the agreed level of detail, and the model is checked back against the drawings.

  4. 4

    You receive the model

    The Revit file and PDF views, with a list of anything in the CAD drawings that did not agree with itself.

Price and turnaround

Each job is quoted from your drawings. Send them and an engineer replies within one business day with the fee and a delivery date.

Frequently asked questions

What is CAD to Revit conversion?

It rebuilds existing 2D CAD drawings as a 3D Revit model, so the building can be edited, coordinated and documented in Revit instead of in separate flat drawings.

What do you need to start?

The CAD drawings for each floor, the sections and elevations, and your Revit template and standards if you have them. We tell you what is missing before we start.

What if the CAD drawings disagree with each other?

We list every conflict we find, such as a wall that does not line up between floors, and agree with you how to model it.

Can you include the MEP systems?

Yes. Ducts, pipes, equipment and electrical items can be modelled from the MEP drawings, at the level of detail you choose.

Ready to order?

Tell us about the site and attach any drawings. An engineer replies within one business day, and we sign an NDA before you send project files.
