How do we create accurate Revit families for BIM projects & product libraries?
Our Revit family specialists build custom BIM content using Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD inputs, PDFs, product cut sheets, dimensional sketches, existing RFA files, IFC references and manufacturer specifications. Each family is developed with the required LOD, project-specific tolerances, reference planes, visibility controls, connectors, shared parameters, type catalogues, material data and naming conventions.
Deliverables can include tested RFA files, RVT test models, type catalogues, shared parameter files, COBie-ready data, manufacturer product parameters and BIM portal-ready content aligned with ISO 19650 information management, Uniclass classification and project BEP requirements where applicable.

What Level of Detail (LOD) can we deliver for Revit families?
We produce Revit families across the full Level of Detail spectrum, from simple conceptual massing components at LOD 100 through to manufacturer-data-rich LOD 400 families for fabrication and procurement.
| LOD Level | What the Family Contains | Arch | Struct | MEP | MFR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LOD 100 | Conceptual massing; basic geometry, no detail | ||||
| LOD 200 | Approximate size, shape, location, quantity; generic | ||||
| LOD 300 | Accurate geometry, material specs and exact dimensions | ||||
| LOD 350 | Connections, interfaces, MEP connections, hanger info | ||||
| LOD 400 | Full fabrication detail with manufacturer data, codes |
For manufacturers, LOD 400 families include part numbers, material finishes and direct links to your product website or BIM object portal.
Which Revit family creation services does Tesla CAD UK provide?
Every Revit family we produce is built to your exact specification, with the correct parameter behaviour, geometry, clean file structure, and the data required for its intended use within the project lifecycle.
Custom Parametric Revit Families
Fully parametric loadable families built from your drawings or specifications, with type catalogues, shared parameters, and geometry that responds correctly to parameter changes. Suitable for any Revit project or BIM library.
Manufacturer BIM Content Creation
Product-specific Revit families for manufacturers, suppliers, and product design companies, embedding part numbers, material finishes, clearance zones, and specification data so your product is easy to find, load, and specify within any BIM model.
Revit Content Catalogues
Complete BIM content libraries produced as structured Revit family sets, covering an entire product range or category. Delivered as organised .RFA libraries with consistent naming, type catalogues, and shared parameters throughout.
Generic & Presentation Families
Non-parametric generic families for presentation models and client visualisation purposes. These are produced without embedded parameters where full parametric behaviour is not required.
In-Place Revit Families
Custom-made in-place families created directly within the Revit project environment for unique, one-off elements, such as unusual configurations or components that exist only within a specific model.
Family Editing
Repair, upgrade, and re-parameterise existing Revit families that are performing incorrectly or failing to meet current project or BIM standards. We clean, rebuild, and return families that work.
COBie-Compliant BIM Objects
If required, we produce Revit families built with COBie data sets embedded, including equipment type, product data, maintenance requirements, and asset codes, supporting facilities management hand-over and O&M data delivery at project close.
Shared Parameter Files & Type Catalogues
Structured shared parameter files and Revit type catalogues built to your project or company BIM standards, ensuring consistent parameter behaviour and data output across your entire model and content library.
