How long does IFC validation take?

Focused export fixes can complete in days; full OpenBIM authoring follows standard modeling timelines.

IFC BIMOpenBIM Exchange Done Right

Q: Will geometry match the native model?

We target faithful exchange for the agreed MVD. Some native-only constructs are remapped intentionally and documented.

We author and validate IFC models for coordination, handover and multi-platform projects — preserving geometry, property sets and classification so Revit, Archicad, Tekla and FM tools stay aligned.

Problem Statement

Closed Formats Block Multi-Platform Teams

Projects spanning Revit, Archicad, Tekla and FM platforms need reliable IFC exchange. Poorly mapped exports lose properties, classification and geometry fidelity — breaking coordination and handover.

Our Solution

Validated IFC Models for OpenBIM Exchange

We author or export IFC models with agreed Model View Definitions, property sets and classification, then validate geometry and data so downstream tools receive usable OpenBIM deliverables.

Validated Exports

Property Sets Mapped

Multi-Platform Teams

ISO 19650 common data environment supporting IFC exchange and information management — Validated IFC packages structured for Open BIM and CDE workflows.

Benefits

Why Teams Choose Our IFC BIM Service

IFC that survives the round-trip — not a lowest-common-denominator dump.

MVD-Aware Exports

Model View Definitions selected for coordination, reference view or handover use cases.

Property Set Mapping

Critical parameters and classification codes survive export for downstream tools.

Geometry Validation

We check IFC geometry and structure before issue so federations open cleanly.

Author or Convert

Build IFC-native packages or convert from Revit/Archicad with controlled mapping.

OpenBIM Project Fit

Ideal for public clients and multi-software consortia requiring IFC exchange.

Workflow

Our IFC BIM Process

A structured OpenBIM pipeline from requirements to validated IFC delivery.

Discovery

Exchange requirements, IFC schema, MVD and classification systems are confirmed.

Source Review

Authoring models or scans are reviewed for IFC readiness and data gaps.

Planning

Property mapping, layer/structure rules and validation criteria are locked.

Modeling / Mapping

Geometry and data are authored or mapped to the agreed IFC structure.

QA

IFC validation, geometry checks and sample federation tests run before issue.

Delivery

IFC files, mapping notes and validation reports are handed over to the project team.

Methodology

How IFC BIM Is Scoped

Practical definitions, limitations and commercial factors — written so they stay true from one project to the next.

What is IFC / OpenBIM support here?

IFC is an open exchange format used when teams span more than one authoring platform. BIMZ Studio can issue IFC from Revit or Archicad Scan-to-BIM models when that exchange is in the scoped proposal.

What IFC is not

IFC is not a substitute for native Revit or Archicad when your office must keep documenting in those tools. Mapping and Model View Definition must be agreed; a generic export is not automatically a complete handover.

Deliverables

What You'll Receive

Interoperable packages your OpenBIM stakeholders can actually use.

Deliverables package covering native models, IFC exports, drawings and QA reports — Every engagement ships as a complete package — native files, open exchange, sheets and QA.

Validated IFC Model

IFC2x3 or IFC4 files structured to the agreed MVD.

Mapping Report

Property set and classification mapping documentation.

Validation Log

Checker results and resolved issue notes.

Native Source Model

Optional RVT/Archicad source for ongoing updates.

Coordination Export

NWC or federated review package when required.

LOD Support

Level of Detail for IFC BIM

LOD is specified by category and project stage. Not every engagement requires every LOD.

LOD 100 to 500 pyramid showing conceptual massing through as-built verified geometry — Specify LOD by category and tolerance — not as a single project-wide acronym.

LOD 300

Precise Geometry

Accurate size, shape, location and orientation suitable for design development.

LOD 350

Coordination Ready

Interfaces with adjacent systems defined for multi-discipline clash coordination.

LOD 400

Fabrication Detail

Detail sufficient for fabrication, assembly and construction documentation.

LOD 500

As-Built Record

Verified as-installed geometry and data for operations and facility management.
