I am looking for an experienced Revit/BIM modeller to create an accurate, well-organised native Revit model of an existing residential building in Germany.
The building is a five-storey residential block of approximately 500 m². The building has a basement and 5½ apartments above (the 4th apartment, directly below the roof, has some very steep roof elements (mansard roof) and the 5th apartment is an attic floor / under roof, with an extra ½ small top attic floor). The original architectural drawings date from around 1920. The first three floors are identical.
However, the building has undergone changes over the years. Some partitions, door openings, balconies and service shafts have been moved or altered. Consequently, the original drawings do not fully reflect the current building layout.
The main objective is to create a model that accurately represents the building as it exists today – not simply to trace the historical drawings.
Documentation provided:
You will receive extensive reference material, including:
High-resolution PDFs of the original architectural plans
More recent floor plans showing changes made over the years
Approximately 100 photographs of the building
Mark-ups, annotations and sketches highlighting known deviations and specific details
The documentation will be provided in organised digital files.
It is important that the supplied material is carefully reviewed and used throughout the modelling process. Where information is unclear or contradictory, we will discuss and clarify it during the review meetings rather than make assumptions.
Scope of work and required level of detail:
The required level of detail is Intermediate LOD.
The Revit model should include, as applicable:
External and internal walls, with correct positions and thicknesses
Door and window openings, including their correct locations and dimensions
Balconies and other relevant architectural features
Service shafts, rainwater stacks and chimney structures
Fixed furniture and built-in elements
Sanitary fixtures
Basement, all residential floors, attic levels and roof geometry
The model must represent the actual building layout, including the differences between individual floors.
All architectural elements should be modelled as proper native Revit elements, not merely represented by imported floor-plan images or 2D drawings.
Finishes, textures and decorative details are not required at this stage.
Collaboration and review process:
I am not a Revit specialist, so I expect the freelancer to be experienced in Revit and able to explain the modelling process clearly.
We will have at least two live review meetings via screen sharing. During these meetings, we will review the model floor by floor, compare it with the supplied documentation and agree on any necessary corrections.
I expect regular progress updates and clear communication throughout the project. Please do not wait until the end to present the model for the first time.
The freelancer should be comfortable discussing uncertainties, asking questions and incorporating agreed corrections.
Final deliverables:
The complete native Revit 2026 project file (.rvt), accurately reflecting the current building layout.
A separate DWG export for each floor/level.
A properly organised Revit model with clearly identifiable floors/levels and architectural elements.
The final files must be complete, editable and usable for further architectural planning.
Schedule and freelancer requirements:
I would like to start as soon as possible and maintain steady progress until completion.
Please apply only if you:
Have proven experience creating architectural models in Revit from existing plans and reference photographs.
Can demonstrate previous examples of comparable modelling work.
Are confident working with historical drawings and reconciling them with current building information.
Can start immediately and commit to an agreed, realistic completion schedule.
Are available for the required live screen-sharing review meetings.
When submitting your proposal, please briefly describe your relevant experience, confirm your availability and provide examples of comparable Revit projects. Also indicate your estimated completion time.
Accuracy and reliability are more important than simply producing a model quickly.
