RIDGELAND, Miss. — August 19, 2026 — Built In BIM has completed a combined modeling, documentation and visualization package for Thornton Views, a residential development project in the United States. Architectural and structural models at Level of Development 200 (LOD 200), interior and exterior renders, site setting-out plans and marketing brochure layouts were delivered under a single engagement rather than divided among separate vendors.
LOD 200 refers to a stage of model development in which building elements are represented with approximate size, shape, location and orientation. It is commonly used during schematic design and early coordination, before elements are detailed for fabrication.
Developers typically procure these deliverables separately, engaging a BIM consultant for modeling, a rendering studio for visuals, a drafting team for site layout documentation and a design agency for sales collateral. That structure adds vendor management overhead and creates a risk that marketing material drifts out of alignment with the technical drawings as the design changes. For Thornton Views, the client sought a single provider for all four scopes.
Built In BIM developed the LOD 200 architectural and structural models first, establishing spatial layout and structural systems. Renders, site setting-out plans and brochure layouts were then generated from that same coordinated model, so every downstream deliverable referenced a single source of geometry rather than a separate re-creation of the design.
According to the company, the approach allowed the architectural and structural teams to align before downstream revisions became costly, gave stakeholders renders for reviewing design intent during internal approvals, put brochures and visual assets in hand in time for sales preparation, and provided the dimensional basis for on-site execution.
“The same coordinated model that helped the architectural and structural teams align is the model that produced the renders and the brochure imagery,” said Kamini Makvana of Built In BIM. “Nothing had to be rebuilt or reconciled between vendors, which is where most of the schedule loss usually occurs on projects like this.”
“Developers are under pressure to shorten the distance between design development and sales launch,” Makvana added. “When one partner handles modeling, visualization, setting-out drawings and marketing collateral, the developer is not paying for the same geometry to be interpreted four separate times.”
The client for Thornton Views is not being named. Project imagery and full scope details are published at the Thornton Views project page.
