BIM and Revit Family Services for Manufacturers
DG BIM helps building product manufacturers convert catalogs, reference files, and documentation into reliable Revit families for specification and design workflows.

Content designers use, with information that holds up.
The goal is simple: make Revit content designers want to use, while keeping product information accurate and dependable for specification, validation, and documentation.
We build Revit families with predictable behaviour, clear type structures, and parameter sets designed for schedules and real project use. The result is BIM content that is brand-aligned, maintainable, and performant when used across hundreds of instances.
Revit family creation
Modeling that balances usability, accuracy, and performance, with a consistent structure across the library.
- Predictable behavior with only the parameters designers actually use
- Stable geometry and controlled detail across views
- Consistent naming and type organization
Specification-ready information
Product information structured to remain accurate and dependable in schedules, tags, and documentation.
- Parameter structure designed for real project use
- Data consistency across types and families
- Supports clear product configuration and internal specification validation
Performance-aware modeling
Choices that keep project files responsive: not just one family, but hundreds of instances in real models.
- Deliberate geometry and nesting strategy
- Lightweight content that holds up at scale
- Practical controls that avoid unnecessary complexity
Updates and continuity
Support as your catalog evolves, with standards and consistency maintained over time.
- Library extensions and new product additions
- Updates aligned with your documentation changes
- Consistency reviews across existing content
A clear workflow, with expert oversight.
We begin with a small, representative sample and define the standard. Once the approach is approved, the library scales consistently.
Discovery and inputs
We review your catalog, reference files, and documentation, then confirm what matters for real project use, specification, and validation.
Prototype and standard
A small sample set defines geometry rules, parameters, types, naming, and representation. This becomes the template for the full library.
Production and QA
Families are produced in batches, tested in project-like conditions, and reviewed for consistency, stability, and information reliability.
Delivery and continuity
Deliverables are packaged cleanly for release. If your catalog evolves, we maintain the same standards in updates and future additions.
What we usually start from.
To begin a project, we work directly from your existing product material (catalogs, cut sheets, spec sheets, or technical brochures). The level of detail can vary, and we adapt the approach accordingly.
Product catalog
Digital or printed catalogs used as the primary reference for geometry, dimensions, options, finishes, and technical information.
Product codes and SKU structure
Product codes, naming rules, or SKU logic, when not already fully defined in the catalog, to ensure consistent and reliable type generation.
3D CAD reference files
Any available 3D reference geometry to support accurate modeling. Common formats include DWG, DXF, STEP, SAT, SolidWorks, Fusion, SketchUp, or similar. Files are used as a reference and optimized for Revit use.
Not all inputs are required from day one. When information is missing or incomplete, we define a clear and practical approach together before production begins.
