BIMIT Building Elements
BIMIT is IPX’s comprehensive approach to standardized BIM delivery, providing detailed 3D modeling of building elements at Level of Development (LOD) 200+.
| BIMIT Is… | BIMIT Is Not… |
|---|---|
| A product - Standardized, repeatable BIM delivery | A service that requires unique estimates - No custom pricing for standard scope |
| Delivered in hours and on-time - Fast turnaround times | Delivered in weeks or months - Not traditional survey/consulting timelines |
| Priced at fixed, low costs - Transparent, predictable pricing | Priced in hourly or lump-sum fees - No variable or time-based pricing |
| All-in-one file - Architecture, furniture, and/or MEPF in unified deliverable | Isolated files across various consultants - No fragmented deliverables |
| Used to confirm square feet and equipment counts - Accurate measurements and quantities | An inaccurate or incomplete model - Quality-controlled, comprehensive coverage |
| LOD 200+ - Approximate geometry with measurable dimensions | LOD 100, 300, 400, 500 - Specifically optimized for LOD 200+ applications |
What is BIMIT?
With a click of the button, Users can fully digitize any space in the world, going from a 3D scan to a building information model (BIM).
Key Benefits
BIM in hours, not weeks or months - Rapid delivery compared to traditional methods
Verified, schematic-design-grade accuracy - Quality-controlled LOD 200+ modeling
Industry-standard file formats - RVT/CAD/RCS/JPG deliverables
Completely editable 3D model / 2D plans - Full design flexibility
Comprehensive coverage - Architecture, furniture, and MEP elements
Quantifiable dimensions and quantities - Measurable spatial and material data
BIMIT creates the digital foundation to index spatial, material, and equipment information and insights, at scale.
Three Service Offerings
IPX provides three distinct BIMIT service offerings, each tailored to different project scales and requirements:
- BIMIT On-Demand - Standardized BIM delivery for one-off or small-scale projects
- BIMIT Enterprise - Scalable solution for high-volume and portfolio-wide digitization
- BIMIT Engine - Fully automated BIM generation powered by Machine Learning
Level of Detail
BIMIT is 3D modeled at a level-of-detail (LOD) 200+, which means:
What’s Included
- Geometry: The model element is graphically represented within the model such that the specific quantity, size, shape, location and orientation of the element, as visible in the point cloud, can be measured directly from the geometry of the model.
What’s Not Included
- Metadata: Non-graphical information which is normally stored as metadata in an element is kept generic as best accuracy is achieved when metadata is customized by the user.
Elements by Scope
BIMIT building elements are organized into five main categories, each with specific modeling standards and coverage:
Site Elements
External site-related features including paving, roads, retaining walls, planting areas, and exterior fixtures. All elements are classified as Exterior.
Architecture Elements
Architectural and structural components including walls, floors, windows, doors, stairs, slabs, ceilings, parapets, and roofs. Elements are available in Interior, Exterior, and building envelope configurations.
Furniture Elements
Fixed and movable furniture, appliances, and small equipment. Available in both Interior and Exterior configurations, with exterior versions including outdoor furniture and fixtures.
MEPF Elements
Standard Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection systems using generic families for visible components. Available in both Interior and Exterior configurations.
Complex MEP/Industrial
Extended scope including specialized high-density systems for industrial, laboratory, or mechanical environments. Available in both Interior and Exterior configurations, with models retaining generic geometry at LOD 200+.
