What Is Architectural BIM Modelling?

Architectural BIM modelling is the process of building an intelligent 3D digital model of a building's architectural elements — walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, doors, windows, stairs, facades and finishes — using software like Autodesk Revit.

Unlike a traditional CAD drawing, an architectural BIM model contains real data. Every wall knows its material, thickness and fire rating. Every room knows its area, function and finish schedule. Every window knows its size, glazing type and thermal performance.

That data drives documentation, coordination, compliance checking and facility management — all from one model.

Why Australian Architects Are Outsourcing BIM Modelling

Running an in-house BIM team is expensive. Revit licences, hardware, training and salaries add up quickly — particularly for small to mid-size architectural practices managing multiple projects simultaneously.

Outsourcing architectural BIM modelling to BIM365 gives Australian firms:

→ Immediate capacity — no recruitment, no onboarding delays → Flexible scaling — increase or reduce support as project workload changes → Senior level expertise — coordinators with real project experience, not junior modellers → Cost savings — significantly below the cost of equivalent in-house resource → Faster delivery — dedicated team focused entirely on your project

What BIM365 Delivers for Architectural Projects

Concept and Schematic BIM Models — LOD 100 to LOD 200 Early stage massing models and schematic designs that support client presentations, planning applications and design development. Fast turnaround for design iteration.

Design Development Models — LOD 300 Fully detailed architectural models with accurate dimensions, material specifications, door and window schedules, room data sheets and coordinated documentation ready for consultant coordination.

Construction Documentation — LOD 350 to LOD 400 Construction-ready architectural documentation extracted directly from the BIM model — plans, sections, elevations, details and schedules formatted to Australian documentation standards.

Federated Model Coordination We coordinate your architectural model with structural and MEP discipline models — identifying and resolving clashes before they reach site. Fully compatible with Autodesk Construction Cloud and BIM 360.

As-Built Architectural Documentation Post-construction as-built model updates reflecting site changes — delivering accurate digital records for building owners and facility managers.

NCC and Australian Standards Compliance

Every architectural BIM model BIM365 produces is checked against:

→ NCC National Construction Code — accessibility, fire, energy efficiency → AS 1428 — design for access and mobility → NATSPEC BIM guidelines — model structure and documentation standards → ISO 19650 — information management and Common Data Environment protocols → Section J energy compliance — thermal performance and glazing requirements

Compliance is built into our workflow — not checked as an afterthought.

BIM365 Outsourcing Support Models

We offer three flexible ways to work with us:

Project Based Fixed scope, fixed price. Send us your brief and we deliver the complete architectural BIM model to your programme. Best for defined projects with clear deliverables.

Overflow Support When your in-house team is at capacity we step in seamlessly — working inside your Revit template, following your office standards and delivering to your deadlines. Best for practices with fluctuating workloads.

Dedicated Monthly Support A dedicated BIM coordinator available full time or part time each month. Best for architectural firms with ongoing project pipelines who need consistent BIM capacity without the overhead of a permanent hire.
