What we do

BIM services built for Australian delivery

Every service below is run the same way the models get used on site — checked for buildability, not just geometry.

01

BIM Modelling & Coordination

LOD 100–500 discipline models, federated coordination and clash detection in Navisworks and Autodesk Construction Cloud.

02

ISO 19650 Compliance & BEP Development

Information management setup, BIM Execution Plans, naming conventions and EIR alignment for project teams new to structured BIM delivery.

03

CAD to BIM Conversion

Legacy 2D drawing sets converted into coordinated, parametric Revit models ready for documentation and coordination.

04

Dynamo & pyRevit Automation

Custom scripts, QA checkers and workflow tools that remove repetitive modelling and documentation tasks from the team's plate.

05

Revit Family & Content Authoring

Parametric family builds, including specialist LGS/CFS light-gauge steel framing content, built to hold up under real project use.

06

Reporting & Data Pipelines

Model-to-schedule reporting and Power BI dashboards that turn model data into numbers project leads actually use.

How it runs

A five-stage delivery process

1

Discovery & Scope

Understand the project, the team and what "done" needs to look like before a model is opened.

2

BEP & Standards Setup

Naming conventions, LOD targets and an execution plan the whole project team can actually follow.

3

Modelling & Coordination

Discipline models built and federated, with regular coordination checkpoints across the design team.

4

QA & Clash Resolution

Structured clash detection passes with issues tracked back to the responsible model, not left buried in a report.

5

Documentation & Handover

Coordinated documentation sets and data handover, formatted for how the project actually gets built.

Why VDMBIM

Built by someone who's held the tools

VDMBIM is run by Jad Newman, who spent years in cabinet making and carpentry before moving into building design and then BIM management. That background shows up in the modelling — details are checked against how they'll actually be built, not just how they render.

  • Currently BIM Coordinator at CMG Frames, running LGS framing documentation across townhouse developments and commercial facade projects.
  • Deep, hands-on Revit API, Dynamo and pyRevit experience — not just familiarity with the software, but the ability to extend it.
  • Melbourne-based and directly involved in every engagement — no account managers between you and the person doing the work.
  • Also runs a Revit content marketplace, so the families and templates used in your project are the same ones tested against real delivery.
