What "GDC" Actually Means For Your Firm
Most US firms don’t think in “Global Delivery Center” terms. Here’s what it means in plain language.
What It's NOT
- A freelancer marketplace where you post tasks and hope someone picks them up
- A vendor you call once per project and re-explain everything to each time
- A black box you send files to and get drawings back with no visibility into progress
- An overseas team you can't reach during your business day
What It is
- A dedicated team that learns your firm's standards, templates, and preferences — and keeps that knowledge project to project
- One PM who is your single point of contact for the entire engagement — reachable during US business hours via Slack, email, or call
- Full integration into your BIM 360 / ACC / Procore environment — not a separate file-sharing system
- Arch and MEP production under one roof — no separate MEP consultant to coordinate separately
In practice, it means your firm can take on more projects without hiring — and your dedicated BIM Heroes team gets better at serving you with every project we complete together.
Who This Works Best For
Our GDC model is purpose-built for three types of US AEC firms.
Architecture Firms
You focus on design, client relationships, and business development. We handle documentation, Revit modeling, and MEP coordination — so you're not losing design hours to production work.
- SD through permit-ready CD sets (IBC, IRC, ADA compliant)
- 3D BIM modelling and visualization in Revit
- MEP coordination in a federated Revit model — no separate MEP consultant
- Code compliance review for your jurisdiction — IBC, state amendments, ADA
Firms using a dedicated GDC model typically take on more projects with the same in-house headcount — without adding overhead.
Home Builders
You need permit-ready plan sets, fast modification turnaround, and standardized production across multiple floor plan SKUs. We deliver all three — at the speed your sales cycle demands.
- Master plan development and LotSpec-based plan modification
- Permit documentation formatted for your jurisdiction's AHJ submission requirements
- Site-specific plan modifications for lot conditions, setbacks, and HOA requirements
- Marketing renderings and virtual tour assets for presale
Home builders with a dedicated GDC partner typically reduce the time between plan approval and permit submission — and handle more community launches simultaneously.
MEP & Engineering Firms
You need production capacity — accurate MEP Revit models, load calculations, clash detection, and coordination drawings — delivered to your standards and inside your BIM environment.
- Structural and MEP BIM modeling at LOD 300–350
- Load calculations and system sizing — ASHRAE, NFPA, IPC, NEC compliant
- Clash detection in Navisworks with prioritized clash reports
- Construction documentation formatted for AHJ submission
MEP firms with a dedicated GDC partner move faster through production phases and reduce coordinator time spent managing documentation.
Interior Design firms: We also support interior design practices with space planning drawings, construction details, FF&E specifications, and 3D visualization. Ask us about interior design production support on your next call.
How It Works — Day to Day
One Team That Knows Your Standards
Your dedicated BIM Heroes team learns your firm's Revit template, title block, sheet naming convention, and detailing standards on project one — and applies them consistently on every project after that. No re-explaining. No rework from mismatched standards.
US Business Hours Overlap Built In
We schedule daily US hours overlap for every engagement — your PM is reachable via Slack or email during your working day. Markups and comments are turned around within 24 hours. We don't disappear overnight.
Scale Up or Down — Without the Overhead
Add production capacity when you need it — a large CD set, a permit push, a busy season. Pull back when the project is done. No recruitment delays, no benefits, no severance. Your GDC capacity adjusts to your backlog, not the other way around.
Cost That Reflects Offshore Value
40–60% less than an equivalent in-house hire when you factor in salary, benefits, software licenses, and management overhead. Project-based pricing with no surprises — scope and cost confirmed before any work begins.
Is This the Right Model For Your Firm?
The GDC model works best for specific firm profiles. Here’s how to tell if it’s a fit.
What It is
- Your firm is 2–30 people and you hit capacity limits during busy seasons
- You spend principal or senior staff time on production tasks that don't require their design judgment
- You want MEP capability without hiring a separate MEP firm
- You work in Revit and use BIM 360 or ACC for project delivery
- You need consistent production support across multiple projects — not just a one-off task
What It's NOT
- You need someone in the room for daily in-person collaboration
- Your project is a single small task with a 24-hour deadline
- Your firm has no Revit workflow or BIM standards established yet (we can help build these — but it takes time upfront)
- You need a licensed architect of record — we support and produce, we don't stamp

What GDC Clients Say
Real results from US firms working with BIM Heroes as their dedicated production partner.
“We'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.”
“Honestly, 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 — clean, coordinated, no redlines from the city. I wish we'd found them two years ago.”
“Small firm here — 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.”
“We 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.”
“Getting 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
— not just the software.”
“What I appreciate most is that they don't just execute — 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.”
“We 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.”
“We build production homes — 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.”
“Our 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.”
“Converting 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.”
“We scan the buildings — 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.”
“Design-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 — which it always does. They've become a reliable part of how we
deliver.”
