How We Work
Discovery Call
We learn your project type, jurisdiction, AHJ requirements, code edition, consultant team, and file-sharing preferences.
Project Kickoff
We assign your dedicated PM, set up Revit worksharing or file transfer protocols, and confirm the delivery schedule.
Design & Production
We execute in Revit with daily file updates β you review via BIM 360, Procore, or shared drives, whatever works for your team.
Delivery & Support
Final deliverables in PDF (Bluebeam-ready), native Revit, and DWG β formatted for your contractor and AHJ. Ongoing support included.
Project Types We Support
From single-family homes to large commercial developments β we adapt to your project type and complexity.
Residential Developments
Single-family custom homes, ADUs, and production builder communities. We understand IRC prescriptive compliance, LotSpec workflows, and the plan modification volume that home builders deal with.
Commercial Buildings
Type I through Type V construction across IBC occupancy classifications β office TI, retail, mixed-use, and light industrial. We coordinate arch with structural and MEP to minimize RFIs on commercial CDs.
Institutional Projects
Schools, healthcare facilities, government buildings, and community centers requiring detailed code compliance, accessibility documentation, and multi-discipline coordination.
Renovations & Additions
Existing conditions documentation, as-built modeling, and permit sets for renovation and addition projects β with existing vs new work clearly delineated on all drawings.
Master Planning
Site analysis, massing studies, phasing plans, and zoning compliance diagrams for multi-building or multi-phase development projects.
Interior Architecture
Space planning, reflected ceiling plans, finish schedules, millwork details, and ADA-compliant layout documentation for commercial and residential interior projects.
What Architecture Firms Say
βWe'd been burned before by offshore teams that looked good on paper but couldn't keep up with our pace. BIM Heroes was different from week one. They got our standards, matched our sheet organization, and flagged coordination issues before we even saw them. Three projects in, they're basically an extension of our in-house team at this point.β
βHonestly, I was skeptical about handing off CD production. But our project architect was drowning and we needed help fast. BIM Heroes turned around a full permit set in 10 days β clean, coordinated, no redlines from the city. I wish we'd found them two years ago.β
βSmall firm here β just four of us. We simply can't afford to hire full-time drafters for
every production spike. BIM Heroes fills that gap perfectly. The pricing is fair, the turnaround is fast, and they don't require me to explain things twice. For anyone running a lean practice, this is the kind of support that actually makes a difference.β
βWe brought BIM Heroes on for a multi-family project with a tight submittal deadline. Not only did they deliver on time, but the model quality was solid enough that our MEP consultants had zero clash complaints. That's not something we can always say about our own internal models. We're already on our second project with them.β
βGetting LOD 350 coordination right on a commercial job with five trades is brutal. BIM
Heroes took on the mechanical and electrical modelling and actually kept pace with our RFI cycle. No lag, no excuses. Their team understood the coordination workflow
β not just the software.β
βWhat I appreciate most is that they don't just execute β they think. When something
in the drawings didn't add up structurally, they caught it and brought it to our attention before it became a problem in the field. That kind of proactive communication is rare, especially from a production partner.β
βWe used BIM Heroes for as-built documentation on a retail fit-out we'd just wrapped. They worked off our field markups and photos and had a clean Revit model back to us in under two weeks. Accurate, well-organized, easy to hand off to the owner. Will use them again without question.β
βWe build production homes β speed and consistency matter above everything else. BIM Heroes helped us set up master Revit templates for our plan library, and now our design changes propagate cleanly across all units. It's saved us easily 20 hours per plan release. That's real money.β
βOur drafting team was backed up three months on permit drawings. BIM Heroes came in, learned our standards fast, and cleared the backlog in six weeks without us having to babysit the work. Quality was consistent start to finish. Exactly what we
needed.β
βConverting point cloud data into a usable Revit model is tedious work. We'd been doing it in-house, but it was pulling our licensed staff off higher-value tasks. BIM Heroes handles the scan-to-BIM conversion now and the accuracy is consistently within our tolerance requirements. Turnaround is fast and communication is clear.β
βWe scan the buildings β BIM Heroes turns them into deliverable models. It's a clean handoff and the output quality is something we're comfortable putting our name on. They understand the source data and don't need hand-holding on the modelling side.β
βDesign-build moves fast and we can't afford rework. BIM Heroes keeps up with our pace, handles the documentation heavy lifting, and stays flexible when scope shifts
mid-project β which it always does. They've become a reliable part of how we
deliver.β
