Existing conditions turned
into usable information.

We reconstruct from permitted sources and develop families, parameters or templates for a defined use.

01 / The engagement

Existing-condition modeling and BIM content

A reference model or BIM library with coverage, tolerances and behavior agreed for its intended use.

02 / What we need
  • Permitted sources and their known coverage
  • Intended use of the model or content
  • Required tolerances and level of information
  • Type, parameter and behavior rules
03 / What we deliver
  • Existing-condition reference models
  • Defined parametric families
  • Templates and parameters suited to the use
  • Documented criteria and open items
04 / Clear boundaries

Clear boundaries

  • Coverage and accuracy depend on the authorized sources available.
  • The model does not claim information that the sources cannot support.
  • Each family, template or parameter set is defined for its expected use rather than as a universal library.
05 / How acceptance is agreed

How acceptance is agreed

  • Reference-model coverage and tolerances
  • Expected types, parameters and behavior
  • Agreed representative use tests
  • Recorded sources, assumptions and gaps
06 / How we work

How we work

  1. 01

    Review the sources

    We confirm what information is permitted, what it covers and what it cannot establish.

  2. 02

    Define the use

    We agree coverage, tolerances, parameters or behavior around the intended purpose.

  3. 03

    Build the content

    We model the conditions or develop the BIM asset within those rules.

  4. 04

    Test and document

    We check representative cases and record limits and open items.

07 / FAQ

Useful questions

01Which sources can be used?

The work starts from sources that are available and authorized for the project. Before modeling, we review their coverage, permitted use and any gaps that may limit the result.

02How is model accuracy agreed?

Coverage and tolerances are defined around the intended use and the information the sources can support. Those limits become part of acceptance.

03Can Forma create families and templates?

Yes. Types, parameters, behavior and use cases are defined so the content is reproducible within the agreed workflow.
