How long do I have to cancel an order?
Open FAQ question

We have established a one-hour cancellation frame once the order is placed.

If your order is cancelled within the cancellation time you will receive a full refund.

Is the architecture scope always required?
Open FAQ question

Architecture scope is always required for all of the orders.

Point Cloud
Open FAQ question

A point Cloud is a set of data points in space. The points may represent a 3D shape or object. Each point position has its set of Cartesian coordinates (X, Y, Z).[1] Point clouds are generally produced by 3D scanners or by photogrammetry software, which measure many points on the external surfaces of objects around them.

How will I receive my final deliverable?
Open FAQ question

Final deliverables will be delivered via email to the email address input during payment.

Is my deposit refundable?
Open FAQ question

If your order is cancelled within the (1) hour cancellation window, we will refund your full deposit to the bank account provided when the order was submitted.

In case you need any help, contact us at bimit-support@integratedprojects.co

How long will a refund take to clear?

Is it cheaper or faster if I only get CADs?
Open FAQ question

No. All BIMIT orders include a package set of files. We currently do not offer the ability to only order CADs without the BIM.

CAD
Open FAQ question

The term computer aided design (CAD) refers to the use of computers to create graphical representations of physical objects to assist in the design process. It can also refer to the use of computers to prepare presentational images or to prepare production information enabling objects to be manufactured, although sometimes this is referred to as computer aided drafting as it does not necessarily involve designing. In combination, these processes may be referred to as computer-aided design and drafting (CADD).

CAD can be used to create 2D or 3D representations, and can also be used to generate animations and other presentational material. It may allow the addition of supplementary information such as dimensions, descriptions of components, references to specifications and so on.

BIM
Open FAQ question

Building information modeling (BIM) is a process supported by various tools, technologies and contracts involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. Building information models (BIMs) are computer files (often but not always in proprietary formats and containing proprietary data) which can be extracted, exchanged or networked to support decision-making regarding a built asset.

Why does BIMIT matter?
Open FAQ question

Now, any architect, engineer, reality capture specialist, or simply anyone with a 3D scan app on their phone can drag-and-drop their registered point cloud file—and kick-off the ordering process to get your LOD 200 BIM in Revit and CAD formats.

How accurate is the final product?
Open FAQ question

BIMIT final deliverables are “true-to-scan” and rely on the accuracy of the point cloud generated from the scan device. We recommend using best scan practices in order to get the most out of your point cloud.

Does BIMIT accept unregistered or raw point cloud scans?
Open FAQ question

No. All point cloud files must be registered and fully aligned before submitting for BIMIT.

What is the largest file size I can submit?
Open FAQ question

We can receive files of up to 5gb on our server. If your file is above this size, you can copy and paste a Google Drive or Dropbox link into our upload card.

Can I request modeling of more than just architecture?
Open FAQ question

Yes! Optional scopes you can add to your order include Furniture, Exterior, Site, MEPF (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection) and Complex MEPF. Architecture is a required scope.

How do I place an order?
Open FAQ question
