Which software and file formats do you use?

Revit, Vertex BD, Tekla Structures and Navisworks on our side, producing RVT, IFC, DWG, NC1, machine CSV and clash reports.

Which machines can your files run on?

Roll-formers from FRAMECAD, Howick, Scottsdale, Pinnacle, Knudson, FrameMac, Arkitech and Valtek, and wood lines from Hundegger, Weinmann, Homag, Randek, Essetre, MiTek, LAP and EasyFrame. Tell us what you run and we confirm the file format first.

Do you model wood as well as steel?

Yes. Wood-frame wall panels, floor systems and roof trusses are modelled and detailed the same way as light-gauge steel.

How long does it take?

It depends on the size of the building. Send your drawings and a detailer replies with a scope, price and timeline within one working day.

Modeling & Detailing

Fully customizable 3D modeling and detailing — build it once virtually before you build it once for real.

Updated October 18, 2026

Framing elevation of a 5.49 m wall panel: 350S162-43 and 550S162-43 studs at 24 inch centres with top and bottom tracks and two rows of bridging — Wall panel, drawn member by member

Our 3D BIM modeling and detailing for CFS, LGSF and wood is fully customizable to your project requirements. We virtually build and coordinate the project before construction begins, allowing teams to review the design, visualize the interior, and identify potential issues early. This proactive approach helps reduce costly site changes, delays, and construction disruptions across residential and commercial projects.

Our detailed 3D models allow engineers and project teams to review every aspect of the structure before it reaches the job site.

What Our Modeling and Detailing Includes

Elevation of a roof truss: 6:12 top chords, sloped bottom chords and steel webs, 5.13 m span, 1.55 m rise — Roof truss from the same model

From framing layouts and stud spacing to floor truss alignment, corner blocking, openings, and fixture placement, we focus on the details that improve consistency and constructability. By defining these requirements in the model, contractors can follow precise specifications on-site, reduce material waste, and streamline installation.

UBC’s 3D BIM modeling and detailing services combine technical accuracy with practical construction workflows to improve efficiency, minimize risks, and support smoother project execution. We serve projects across the USA, Australia, New Zealand, India, South America, and the Middle East, delivering consistent BIM solutions aligned with regional codes, project requirements, and construction practices.
