Frequently Asked Questions
-
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a technology that supports the construction industry by providing a detailed 3D model to help the entire team visualize every component of the building before the construction work begins. This way, it helps improve accuracy, minimize costly mistakes, and reduce on-site conflicts after the work starts.
The 3D design helps every member of the project be on the same page about what's gonna happen, how they're gonna make it happen, and what they can expect at each phase of the construction work. Plus, BIM coordination ensures that every part of the construction plan aligns smoothly across architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines. With our advanced BIM services, GEM Drafting ensures your project stays efficient, accurate, and fully coordinated from start to finish.
-
What is the difference between CAD and BIM?
Both CAD and BIM have the same objective, which is to help design and document buildings efficiently. But they work in different ways.
CAD is mainly used to create 2D drawings or basic 3D shapes.
BIM creates smart 3D models that include important building information.
CAD is great for simple drafting, while BIM helps teams see the whole project clearly.
CAD to BIM conversion updates old drawings into modern, detailed BIM models.
GEM Drafting provides BIM services, helping clients choose the right approach for every project.
-
BIM modeling services can help you create a detailed digital model of a building that includes architectural, structural, and MEP information. This model can help with design, coordination, fabrication, and even facility management as the project moves forward.
With Architectural BIM services, you’ll get -
Floor plans
Elevations
Sections
3D visualizations
These tools make the design easier to understand and share with your team. GEM Drafting offers full BIM modeling services using real industry experience and a team that always puts the client first.
-
Scan to BIM services use 3D laser scanning to include the real conditions of your building and turn that information into an accurate BIM model. This is especially helpful if you're planning a renovation, remodel, addition, or need to verify true as-built conditions.
It removes the guesswork by giving you the right measurements that make planning and coordination much easier. Scan-to-BIM also reduces field errors, helping your project move faster and get approvals sooner. GEM Drafting provides reliable 3D scanning for construction and offers accurate scan-to-BIM models that are perfect for your project needs.
-
Yes, of course! When you're involved in a small construction project, BIM will provide you with the accurate details that can help you remove guesswork, reduce rework, save time, money, and improve accuracy. This way, you can have better coordination among your team members and work towards a single goal with clarity.
Small residential or commercial jobs can use BIM for -
3D visualization
clash detection
Clear documentation and more.
If you need help with reliable BIM services, you can contact GEM Drafting! We offer scalable BIM consulting services and modeling support so small projects get big-project quality at all times.
-
Yes, absolutely. You can send us your PDFs, CAD files, etc., and we’ll convert them into clean, accurate drawings or detailed BIM models. Our team can turn your PDFs into CAD, Revit, or ArchiCAD files, and we can also convert existing CAD drawings into Revit or ArchiCAD if needed.
If you need construction documentation, 3D renderings, or walkthroughs, we can produce those as well. You can come to us with any problem you have with plans and drawings, and we'll ensure to provide you with high-quality services at all times!
