BIM services across Ohio

Drafting Buddies provides BIM services across Ohio, building coordinated Revit models that architects, engineers, and contractors can rely on through design, construction documentation, and field coordination.

Our models are built to a defined level of development, so what you see in the model is what your team can actually build from - not a visual placeholder that needs rework later.

We work directly from existing drawings, point cloud scans, or design sketches, and we coordinate across architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines so clashes get caught in the model, not on the job site.

BIM execution planning and workflow guidance for an Ohio project team
SHEET B-107

BIM Consulting & Execution Planning Ohio

BIM execution plan development and workflow guidance for teams adopting or standardizing BIM processes on a project.

Material quantity takeoff extracted from a coordinated BIM model for estimating
SHEET B-108

Quantity Takeoff & 5D BIM Ohio

Level of Development

Models built to the LOD your project needs

We scale model detail to match how it will actually be used - design review, documentation, or fabrication.

  1. LOD 200

    Approximate geometry

    Approximate geometry for early design and space planning.

  2. LOD 300

    Accurate geometry

    Accurate geometry and quantity for construction documentation.

  3. LOD 350

    Coordination-ready

    Added interface detail to support trade coordination.

  4. LOD 400

    Fabrication-level

    Fabrication-level detail for shop drawing production.

How We Work

Our BIM process

A coordinated workflow from source data to a construction-ready model.

  1. 01

    01 / 04

    Data Intake

    We review your drawings, point cloud scans, or design files and confirm the required level of development.

  2. 02

    02 / 04

    Model Development

    Our modelers build the architectural, structural, or MEP model in Revit to the agreed LOD.

  3. 03

    03 / 04

    Coordination & Clash Detection

    Models are federated in Navisworks and checked for conflicts between disciplines before issue.

  4. 04

    04 / 04

    Delivery & Documentation

    The coordinated model and any required drawings or schedules are delivered in your required format.

Why Drafting Buddies

Built for Ohio project coordination

  1. 01

    Multidisciplinary capability

    Architectural, structural, and MEP modeling under one team, so coordination happens in-house, not across vendors.

  2. 02

    Clash-focused coordination

    Models checked in Navisworks before issue, catching conflicts in the model instead of the field.

  3. 03

    LOD-accurate modeling

    Models built to the detail level the project actually needs, from early design through fabrication.

  4. 04

    Scan-to-BIM capability

    Point cloud data converted into reliable as-built models for renovation and retrofit work.

  5. 05

    Flexible engagement

    Single-discipline modeling or full BIM coordination support as an extension of your team.

  6. 06

    Ohio project experience

    Familiar with the coordination expectations of commercial, healthcare, and industrial projects across the state.

FAQ

Common Questions

BIM services in Ohio

Building Information Modeling is a 3D, data-rich process for designing, coordinating, and documenting buildings. Unlike 2D drawings, a BIM model carries geometry and information that architects, engineers, and contractors share through design and construction.
