3D Revit Modelling
What is 3D Revit Modelling?
A 3D Revit model is a digital, three-dimensional representation of a building or infrastructure project. The model is created using Autodesk Revit, a Building Information Modelling (BIM) software. Unlike traditional 2D CAD drawings, a Revit model contains both geometric and non-geometric data, such as dimensions, materials, costs, and scheduling, integrated into a single file.
A 3D Revit model is used throughout the entire lifecycle of a building project, from design through construction and even into operations and maintenance.
The 3D model can incorporate MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) systems into a single, integrated model alongside architectural and structural components.
Why choose Sircle?
As one of the UK’s leading providers of comprehensive BIM services, we offer a complete range of services to ensure you have access to accurate information.
Sircle create highly accurate models for new and existing buildings, covering architecture, fixtures, topographical features, and MEP. This approach builds trust in your model from design through construction and long-term management, while also helping to reduce both material waste and labour costs.
Maintaining your BIM/Revit models is an ongoing process, adapting as your estate evolves and its use changes. We ensure our clients’ drawings and models remain accurate and consistent with every update, offering continuous support and expert guidance.
The Benefits of a 3D Revit Model
- Integrated Design
Combines architectural, structural, and MEP elements into one centralised model for a fully coordinated approach. - Flexible Design Development
Easily test and adapt design options, with instant visibility of how changes affect the overall project. - Improved Collaboration
Enables real-time collaboration between all stakeholders, enhancing communication and decision-making. - Enhanced Project Efficiency
Streamlines workflows from concept to completion, improving accuracy and reducing delays. - Clash Detection
Identifies design conflicts early, reducing costly on-site errors and rework during construction. - Supports Ongoing Building Management
Provides a reliable reference for maintenance planning, facilities management, and future upgrades or renovations.

Your questions answered
Can 3D Revit models be used for both small and large projects?
Yes, Revit is scalable and suitable for projects of all sizes—from small refurbishments to large, complex developments.
How is 3D Revit different from traditional 2D CAD drawings?
Unlike 2D drawings, Revit provides a 3D, intelligent model that updates automatically across all views when changes are made. It improves accuracy, coordination, and visual understanding of the design.
How does 3D Revit modelling help after construction is complete?
The model can be used for ongoing maintenance, asset tracking, space management, and future refurbishments—serving as a valuable tool for building management.
