summary of BIM modeling and shop drawing steps for a cubic (building-type) project:
Project Setup
Define project coordinates, levels, and grids.
Set up Revit templates, worksets, and naming standards.
Model Development
Create architectural, structural, and MEP models (LOD 300–400).
Link all disciplines using shared coordinates.
Regularly update models to reflect design changes.
Coordination
Combine models in Navisworks (or similar).
Run clash detection and resolve issues.
Approve coordinated model for shop drawing stage.
Shop Drawing Production
Extract 2D drawings directly from coordinated BIM models.
Add annotations, dimensions, and details.
Apply QA/QC check and discipline lead approval.
Submission & Revision Control
Submit drawings to consultant/client for review.
Track comments and update model/drawings as needed.
Maintain revision history and as-built updates.
