Architecture & building planning

From existing plans to a building model, design variants and interior layouts through distinct, connected work stages.

Starting point

Start with the documents you have.

PDF plans, floor plans, sections and elevations are inputs to building reconstruction. Dimensions, missing information and inconsistencies are checked; a model does not replace a site survey.

Specialised capabilities

Engineering detail. Connected in the project.

Building reconstruction

Storeys, rooms, walls, slabs, windows, doors and additional elements form a digital planning basis. 2D and 3D views help inspect geometry and relationships.

Building planning & variants

Model changes are recorded in variants and revisions. Room and area changes, quantities, technical documents and coordination with adjacent disciplines remain tied to their design revision.

Interiors & practice workflow

Space planning with catalogue dimensions, furniture and interior variants; checks for collisions, door swings and accessibility. Quantities and prices flow into quotations, services, project planning and billing after confirmation.

The process

From enquiry to completion.

  1. 1Plans & dimensions
  2. 23D building model
  3. 3Variant & rooms
  4. 4Interiors & quantities
  5. 5Deliverables & billing
Documented software workflow

Apartment building and office building

The synthetic apartment example has five storeys, 69 rooms and eight apartments with sample interiors. The office example compares open-plan and cellular layouts. Building model, interiors, variants, quantities and commercial project workflow can be demonstrated together.

Synthetic demonstration, not a customer reference.

Integration & deliverables

Configured for your business.

Design practices use CAD/BIM workstations, survey and installation resources. Deliverables can include PDF, DXF, STEP, GLB, CSV and ZIP. IFC4 output is available; transfer to the specific target application is checked for each project.

Configuration and engineering review

The examples use synthetic design projects. Building and interior designs require professional review. IFC output does not imply general certification or guaranteed compatibility with every BIM system.
