Need a BIM model for your project? Nextron Estimating Pty Ltd provides BIM modelling services for builders, developers, contractors and designers across Australia. We build 3D models from your drawings and sketches, so your team can review the building, coordinate trades and take off quantities from one model.
What our BIM modelling includes
- 3D building models from your drawings, PDFs or sketches
- Architectural, structural and MEP elements, as shown on your drawings
- Model-based coordination checks between trades
- Floor plans, sections and elevations drawn from the model
- Quantity schedules taken from the model
- As-built models from supplied survey data and drawings
MEP BIM modelling and coordination
We model mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire services as shown on your drawings, and check them against the architecture and structure in the model. Coordination issues are reported to your design team to resolve. See our MEP coordination drawings.
Structural BIM modelling
We build models of slabs, footings, columns, beams and walls from the structural drawings you supply. Your structural engineer stays responsible for the design. Our structural steel estimating and concrete estimating can use the same model.
Why use BIM
A BIM model shows how the parts of a building fit together before work starts on site. Teams can find clashes between services and structure early, which helps avoid rework and delays.
BIM and estimating together
Because quantities come from the model, they match the drawings. We can combine BIM modelling with our quantity takeoff and estimating services, so you get the model and the priced estimate from one team.
Important note
We model from the drawings and information supplied to us. We do not provide engineering design or compliance certification. Those stay with your engineer, designer or certifier.
How it works
- Send us your drawings and tell us what the model is for.
- We confirm what is included and give a quote and timeframe.
- We build the model and send it for your review.
- We make agreed adjustments and issue the final files.
Frequently asked questions
What is BIM modelling?
BIM stands for building information modelling. It is a 3D model of a building that also holds information, such as materials and quantities.
Can you build a model from PDF plans?
Yes. Send PDF or CAD drawings and we will build the model from them.
Can you model MEP services?
Yes, as shown on the drawings you supply. See our MEP coordination drawings.
