- Panel modules
- Panel dimensions
- Joint locations
- Openings
- Support interfaces
- Model schedules
Model the Connection Between the Facade and the Rest of the Project
Façade BIM becomes particularly useful where curtain walls, cladding or glazing systems meet structural edges, slabs, roofs, openings and other supplied project information. These interfaces can be reviewed within the defined coordination scope before documentation progresses.
Define the Facade BIM Requirements Before Modeling
Facade models should be developed to the project’s actual information need rather than adding unnecessary detail. Model requirements should be agreed before production starts.
Where dimensions, system details or interface requirements are unclear or conflicting, we identify the affected items for clarification and develop the model from the approved information provided by the responsible project team.
Have curtain wall, cladding or glazing information ready?
Send the façade drawings, system details and BIM requirements for a scope review.
How Our Facade BIM Modeling Process Works
A structured facade BIM workflow starts with the correct source information and a clearly defined model scope. We establish project requirements before developing, coordinating, reviewing and delivering the façade model.
What Should You Send for a Facade BIM Review?
The source information helps define the façade systems, model boundaries, interfaces, required model detail and expected BIM deliverables before production starts.
Review Source Information
Review supplied drawings, models, façade-system information and expected deliverables to establish the required BIM scope.
Establish the BIM Environment
Set project coordinates, levels, model standards, software version, naming requirements and agreed façade-model boundaries.
Develop the Facade Model
Model the required curtain walls, glazing, cladding, panels and associated components from the approved project information.
Review Model Interfaces
Review defined façade interfaces against supplied architectural, structural and MEP information within the agreed coordination scope.
Check and Issue Deliverables
Complete defined checks for model structure, geometry, naming, references and required outputs before delivery.
Keep Facade Information Organised
Consistent model organisation helps teams review façade systems and manage changes across repetitive components and project zones.
Manage Approved Facade Changes
Updated drawings, details and approved coordination comments can be incorporated while maintaining the agreed BIM structure and model requirements.
Match Model Detail to the Required Project Output
The required level of model detail should be defined by the intended project use. A coordination model, detailed façade model and fabrication-oriented deliverable may require different geometry and information.
A detailed BIM requirement does not create missing design information. Where required façade dimensions, system details or interfaces have not been defined, we identify those items for clarification rather than introducing unverified assumptions.
