ITM Content Creation for CADmep

ITM Content Creation for CADmep

Built In BIM was engaged to deliver high-precision, LOD 400 fabrication ready content for use in CADmep — a critical tool for mechanical contractors in the UK. The goal was to provide robust ITM (Item) content that would integrate seamlessly with CADmep workflows, support parametric modeling, and enable accurate prefabrication.

  • Discipline: Mechanical
  • Location: United Kingdom
  • Scope of Work: LOD 400 Fabrication Content Creation

Problem

Mechanical contractors often face challenges due to the lack of high quality, consistent fabrication content in their CADmep environments. Many pre-existing ITM libraries are outdated, non-parametric, or not optimized for modern prefabrication workflows, leading to:

Inaccurate material take-offs

Increased time for manual modifications

Reduced reliability in shop drawings and onsite construction

Coordination issues with other disciplines

Solution

Built In BIM developed and delivered a complete set of LOD 400 fabrication ready ITM content, tailored specifically for mechanical systems. Our team:

01

Created fully parametric, data rich ITM components

02

Ensured all content adhered to UK fabrication standards

03

Validated compatibility with CADmep workflows

04

Enhanced model intelligence to allow dynamic modifications and accurate quantity takeoffs

The custom built ITM library was designed with the contractor’s specific project needs in mind, improving usability and integration across their BIM environment.

Outcome :

The delivery of high-quality LOD 400 ITM content had a direct and measurable impact:

  • Streamlined Prefabrication: Fabrication models required fewer revisions and translated smoothly into shop drawings.
  • Improved Accuracy: Material lists and quantity take-offs became more reliable and data-driven.
  • Time Savings: Reduced manual intervention saved hours of detailing and coordination time.
  • Enhanced Collaboration: Better alignment with other trades reduced conflicts and rework.

Ultimately, Built In BIM empowered the mechanical team with a robust digital foundation for fabrication and construction, contributing to project success and operational efficiency.
