Industry Why

Why Georgia Architects, Engineers & Contractors Choose Drafting Buddies

A BIM model only earns its keep if it prevents problems instead of documenting them after the fact. Our BIM services in Georgia are built around one goal - a federated model that catches conflicts before they become field change orders.

  1. 01

    One Federated Model

    Architectural, structural and MEP models are built and coordinated as one federated model rather than separate disciplines stitched together at the end.

  2. 02

    Clash Detection Built In

    Every coordination cycle runs through Navisworks clash detection before a model is called complete, with hard and soft clashes tracked to resolution.

  3. 03

    Georgia Code Fluency

    Models are checked against the current Georgia State Minimum Standard Codes, including the 2024 IBC/IRC cycle and Georgia amendments mandatory since January 2026.

  4. 04

    LOD Matched To Phase

    Models are developed to the LOD a project phase actually needs - no over-modeling early, no under-modeling at fabrication stage.

What BIM Services Mean

BIM Services in Georgia, Defined

Building Information Modeling, or BIM, is the process of building a data-rich 3D model of a project instead of a set of disconnected 2D drawings. A BIM services company in Georgia builds that model - architectural, structural and MEP - in Revit, coordinates it across every discipline, runs clash detection to catch conflicts before construction, and extracts construction documentation, shop drawings and quantity data directly from the model.

As a BIM services provider working across Georgia, Drafting Buddies works from design drawings, RFIs or point-cloud scans to build models at the Level of Development (LOD) a project phase requires - light massing early, fabrication-ready detail later. Whether the scope is a single-discipline Revit model for an architect or a fully coordinated, clash-detected federated model for a general contractor managing a metro Atlanta build, the model stays the single source of truth that construction documents, shop drawings, 4D schedules and 5D cost estimates are all pulled from.

Georgia Code & Market Context

BIM Built Around Georgia's Code Cycle and Construction Boom

BIM services in Georgia have to track two moving targets: the state's mandatory code cycle, and where construction demand is concentrated right now. Both shape how a model gets developed and coordinated.

2024 IBC/IRC

Effective January 1, 2026, Georgia's mandatory State Minimum Standard Codes moved to the 2024 International Building, Residential, Mechanical, Fuel Gas and Plumbing Codes with Georgia amendments - a direct transition from the prior 2018-based cycle, with grace periods left to individual jurisdictions.

2026 NEC

The 2026 Georgia amendments to the 2023 National Electrical Code took effect the same date, governing electrical BIM models and coordination for Georgia projects going forward.

Atlanta Data Centers

Metro Atlanta has become one of the fastest-growing data center markets in the country, with over $100 billion in committed investment concentrated along the I-85 south and I-20 west corridors - projects that depend on tight MEP BIM coordination.

Savannah & Coastal Georgia

The Hyundai Metaplant, Rivian's EV campus and the Port of Savannah's logistics expansion are driving demand for structural and MEP BIM modeling across coastal and middle Georgia industrial projects.

Code-cycle status and local jurisdiction transition rules vary; confirm the current edition in effect with your Georgia building official (AHJ) before permitting.

Software & Deliverables

The Software Behind Every Georgia BIM Model

A coordinated model depends on the software stack behind it. This is what moves every Georgia BIM project from design intent to a federated, clash-checked deliverable.

    Architectural, structural and MEP model production, families and construction documentation.

  • Structural

    Tekla Structures

    Structural steel modeling and connection detailing feeding BIM shop drawing packages.

    ReCap / Point Cloud

    Laser scan point-cloud processing and registration for scan-to-BIM deliverables.

  • QA / Review

    Bluebeam Revu

The Process

How A Georgia BIM Project Gets Built

Five steps from design documents to a coordinated, clash-checked model.

  1. 01

    Share Documents

    Send design drawings, RFIs or laser scan data for the Georgia project and discipline you need modeled.

  2. 02

    Scope & Quote

    We review discipline scope, target LOD and timeline, then send a fixed quote and delivery schedule.

  3. 03

    Model & Coordinate

    Discipline models are built in Revit and federated for cross-trade coordination review.

  4. 04

    Clash Detection & QA

    The federated model runs through Navisworks clash detection and internal QA against Georgia code requirements.

  5. 05

    Deliver & Support

    Coordinated model, drawings and any 4D/5D or COBie data are delivered, with fast turnaround on revisions.

From Georgia Clients

What Architects, Engineers & Contractors Say

  • “The federated model caught a duct-versus-beam clash we'd have found in the field otherwise. Coordination meetings got a lot shorter after that.”

    MEP Engineer · Metro Atlanta

  • “Scan-to-BIM on our renovation project was dead accurate. Existing conditions matched the point cloud to the inch.”

    Architect · Savannah

  • “We outsource our structural and MEP modeling here every quarter now. Clash reports come back clean and on schedule.”

    General Contractor · Augusta

BIM Services in Georgia - Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

A BIM services company in Georgia builds a coordinated 3D Revit model of a project's architectural, structural and MEP systems, then uses that model to catch clashes before construction, produce construction documentation and shop drawings, and hand over an accurate as-built record for facility management.
