Revit Family Creation Services UAE

Designheed provides Revit family creation services in the UAE for architects, engineers, contractors and manufacturers. We build custom, parametric families that match your project requirements, BIM standards and product data, so your models stay accurate, consistent and easy to edit. Our team creates architectural families such as doors, windows, curtain walls, furniture and façade elements. We also develop manufacturer-specific families and Revit MEP families for HVAC, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems, including connector families.

What is Revit Family Creation?

Revit family creation is the process of building reusable, parametric components in Autodesk Revit, such as doors, windows, furniture, fixtures, equipment and façade elements. Each family carries its own geometry, materials and parameters, so a single component can be resized, configured and scheduled across a project without being remodeled.

Revit works with three kinds of families:

Loadable families are standalone .RFA files, such as doors, windows, furniture and equipment, that you load into any project.
System families, such as walls, floors and roofs, are built into Revit. We create custom types and profiles for them, such as curtain wall panels, mullions and railing components.
In-place families are one-off elements modeled inside a single project for unique conditions.

LOD and Detail Levels for Families

Families created in Revit can be created at varying levels of development (LOD) and varying detail levels based on the requirements of the project and design phase.

LOD for Revit Family Creation

LOD Level	Application	Revit Family Detail Level	Description
LOD 100	Conceptual design	Coarse	Basic geometry and approximate dimensions for conceptual representation.
LOD 200	Schematic design	Coarse / Medium	Approximate geometry, size, location and component orientation.
LOD 300	Design development	Medium / Fine	Accurate geometry, dimensions and positioning based on design specifications.
LOD 350	BIM coordination	Medium / Fine	Detailed geometry, interfaces and connections for multidisciplinary coordination.
LOD 400	Construction and fabrication	Fine	Detailed components and information suitable for fabrication and installation.
LOD 500	As-built documentation	As required	Field-verified information representing installed or existing building conditions.

Our Revit Family Creation Process

Requirement Analysis
We analyze the specifications, designs, manufacturers' information and BIM standards for developing precise requirements for development of Revit families.
Family Modeling
Our specialists create parametric Revit families with accurate geometry, dimensions, materials and configurable parameters according to the requirements of architectural projects.
Parameter Configuration
We set up parameters, visibility, connectors and other data properties to achieve the required flexibility, functionality and compatibility of Revit families.
Quality Assurance
We check the geometry, parameter behavior, naming conventions and performance of families to keep the precision and conformity to BIM standards.
Delivery and Integration
We deliver our Revit families in proper formats for implementation into architectural BIM models, project documentation and coordination workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Revit family and a Revit model?

A Revit family is an item, which can be used again, such as a door, window and equipment unit, consisting of geometric form and parameters. The Revit model is the whole project workspace consisting of families, building components, views and project information. The creation of Revit families will assist in preserving accuracy and consistency in architectural BIM models.

Which LOD do you deliver for families?

We deliver Revit family that can be designed for LOD 100 to LOD 400 depending on the project requirement and the need for the family. LOD 200 will provide approximate geometry, LOD 300 for accurate design geometry, LOD 350 for coordination details, while LOD 400 will support fabrication and installation. The LOD level is agreed upon before developing the family.

Can you create families from manufacturer data or CAD files?

Yes, the Revit families can be developed using manufacturer datasheets, product specification, DWG file, 2D drawing and 3D CAD models as the references and these references will be useful in defining the dimensions, geometry, materials and parameters. Custom Revit families can be developed with the product information.

Do you deliver .RFA files with type catalogs?

Yes, families in Revit are often delivered in .RFA files. If needed, type catalogs will be provided as text (.TXT) files with predefined types and parameter data. This way, it is possible to choose appropriate family type settings without including all types in the project file. All deliverables will be checked against the project requirements.

Can you build families to our BIM standards and templates?

Yes, the process of creating Revit families will be carried out by following your BIM execution plan, Revit templates, naming conventions, parameter needs and LOD specifications. You may provide existing families or templates to get the required structure. This is needed for maintaining consistent architecture BIM modeling projects.

What do you need from us to start?

In order to start the process of creating Revit families, we need to know technical references and project requirements that determine the expected geometry, parameter data, detail level and deliverable format.

Manufacturer datasheets, drawings, DWG or 3D CAD models.
Required LOD and level of geometry detail.
Revit version and template (if any).
Naming conventions and shared parameters requirements.
Required types of families, number of families and deliverable format.
