All BIM servicesWhat you receive
Deliverables, stated before we start.
Conversion work is judged on consistency across the whole set, not on any one sheet. Standards are agreed and applied uniformly, and the drawing register is reconciled at the end.
- Paper, PDF or scanned drawings converted to editable CAD
- CAD to BIM conversion where the drawings are the only source
- Revit to CAD sheet export to your layer and linetype standard
- Layer, block, linetype and titleblock standardisation across the set
- Drawing register and sheet index reconciled against what was received
- Redline and markup incorporation into the current issue

Scope gaps are cheaper to resolve before modelling than after. These are the inputs that set the programme and the price.
Your CAD standard: layers, linetypes, text styles, titleblock
Target format and CAD version
Scale and dimensional reference where the source is unscaled

FAQ
CAD drafting & conversion — common questions.
Can you work from poor-quality scans?
Usually. Where a scan is illegible we flag the specific sheet rather than guessing at dimensions, and list it in the register as unresolved.
Do you redraw or trace?
We redraw as structured geometry on the correct layers. A traced image is not editable CAD and is not what gets delivered.
Can you convert an estate to one standard?
Yes. That is a common scope. We pilot the standard on a sample set, get it signed off, then apply it across the estate.
