CAD & BIM Platforms We Work In

We work in the platform your team already uses, and deliver native files ready to drop back into your workflow.

Your workflow stays familiar. The deliverables stay usable.

Platform ecosystem

One Technical Workflow. Multiple Platforms.

The platforms aren't isolated products. Each one sits inside a drafting, modelling, detailing or coordination workflow — select a platform to see where it fits.

  4. Sheets & schedules

A conceptual workflow — not every project follows this exact sequence.

The Platform Is Only Part of the Workflow

Software isn't the service. We use the relevant platform inside real project work — drafting, modelling, detailing, conversion and coordination. Each platform links to the services and industries it supports.

Native files

Keep Your Project in Its Native Environment

Render CAD Hub works within the platform your project already uses and delivers files intended to fit back into the relevant project workflow. Share the platform and version up front so the set-up can be confirmed.

Process

From Existing Platform to Finished Deliverable

  1. 01

    Project input

    Existing drawings, models, references or project requirements.

  2. 02

    Platform review

    Understand the software environment, standards and required output.

  3. 03

    CAD / BIM production

    Drafting, modelling, detailing, conversion or coordination.

  4. 04

    Technical review

    Review geometry, documentation structure and project-specific requirements.

  5. 05

    Deliverable

    Return the relevant project files and documentation for the agreed workflow.

The steps flex with the service — review and output depend on the agreed scope.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — that is the starting point. We work in the platform your team already uses across the ten platforms listed on this page, and deliver native files intended to drop back into your workflow. Tell us the platform and version when you request a quote so we can confirm the set-up.

Yes. AutoCAD and MicroStation cover 2D drafting and documentation, SolidWorks, Inventor and Fusion 360 cover parametric 3D part and assembly modelling, and Revit, ArchiCAD and Tekla Structures cover BIM modelling with model-derived drawings.

Yes. Existing Revit models can be developed, documented or coordinated through our Revit Modelling and BIM Modelling & Coordination services, with model-derived sheets and schedules where the project needs them.

Yes. Existing DWG drawings can be revised, standardised or developed further through the relevant drafting service — mechanical, architectural, structural, civil or electrical — and legacy or inconsistent drawings can be cleaned up through CAD Conversion.

Steel Detailing is delivered in Tekla Structures and AutoCAD, producing shop and erection drawings, connection details and material or bolt lists depending on the project.

Our CAD Conversion service covers converting PDF, scanned and legacy drawings into editable native CAD, including DGN and DWG drawings with MicroStation and AutoCAD. PDF drawings can also be rebuilt as layered DWG files through PDF to CAD.

Navisworks is used to federate multi-disciplinary models into a single review environment and run clash detection. How well a given model federates depends on the source platform and export settings, so we review the models before coordination starts.

Often, yes. Depending on the service, the project input can include existing drawings, models, point clouds or references, and the work continues from that rather than restarting the design.
