Custom Revit families & BIM libraries

High-quality, parametric BIM content that enhances model accuracy and project efficiency. From custom families to complete library development, we create content that works.

BIM Content Creation Services

Building Blocks for Better BIM

Quality BIM content is the foundation of efficient modeling. Whether you need custom Revit families for a specific project, manufacturer content for product marketing, or standardized libraries for your organization, our content creation services deliver parametric, performant, and data-rich components.

We also develop Dynamo scripts and automation tools to streamline repetitive tasks and maximize your team's productivity.

How content is built and tested

Parameter schema first, then build, then flexed in a real project condition.

Requirement capture

Which elements, which parameters, which host behaviour, which schedules they must drive, and the standard they must follow.

Template and parameter schema

Shared parameters, type catalogues and naming agreed before anything is built, because a parameter renamed later breaks every schedule using it.

Build

Families and templates built to the agreed schema, with geometry resolved at the detail levels they will actually be viewed in.

Flex testing

Each family is flexed through its parameter range and hosted in a real project condition, so it fails here rather than in your live model.

Schedule verification

We confirm the content reports correctly into the schedules and takeoffs it was built to feed, which is the only test that matters for QTO.

QA and documentation

Independent check against the schema and naming, with a short usage note so your team knows how each piece is meant to behave.

Library delivery

Content delivered into your library structure, ready to load, with the parameter schema documented.

What you actually get

How content is built so it keeps working after it is loaded.

Reviewed by a registered architect

Aercon is architect-led — a registered architect oversees delivery, so your model is questioned on design and constructability, not only geometry. Sealing and professional responsibility stay with your professionals of record.

Parameter schema agreed before anything is built

Shared parameters, type catalogues and naming are fixed first. A parameter renamed later breaks every schedule that depends on it.

Flexed before you ever see it

Each family is driven through its parameter range and hosted in a real project condition, so it fails on our machine rather than in your live model.

Verified against the schedules it feeds

Content is checked to confirm it reports correctly into the schedules and takeoffs it was built for — the only test that matters for quantity data.

Your template, not ours

We work inside your template, shared parameters, naming convention and BIM Execution Plan. Nothing comes back needing to be re-mapped to your standard.

Your drawings stay yours

NDA before we receive anything, access limited to the named project team, and we never reuse a client's models, families or drawings for anyone else.

Frequently Asked Questions

A good Revit family is parametric (flexible dimensions and configurations), lightweight (optimized geometry), properly nested (uses shared families efficiently), and data-rich (includes necessary parameters for scheduling and specifications). Our families are built following best practices for performance and usability.

Yes, we regularly create Revit families from manufacturer catalogs, CAD drawings, and specifications. We work with product teams to ensure accurate representation and include relevant technical data for specifiers.

We follow strict optimization practices: appropriate detail levels, efficient geometry, minimized nested families, and clean parameter structures. All families are tested for file size impact and rendering performance before delivery.

We build families to the LOD appropriate for their intended use. Most general families support LOD 100-300 with level of detail visibility controls. Fabrication-focused families can be developed to LOD 400 with precise geometry.

While Revit families are our specialty, we also create content for ArchiCAD (GDL objects), SketchUp, and IFC-compatible formats. Contact us to discuss your specific platform requirements.

Yes, we offer library management services including family updates for new Revit versions, standard enforcement, and ongoing content development to support your project needs.
