Freelance 3D BIM Modeler

When you need capacity or simply want to deliver faster, I model your 3D BIM projects and deliver 2D drawings that are ready for immediate delivery to the shop floor.

+10 years of experience in construction with SketchUp, BIM modeling, and LayOut. Quickly deployable, accustomed to corporate standards and tight deadlines.

Do you recognize this?

  • Deadline pressure: The 3D model and 2D documents are behind schedule
  • Inconsistent model: Tags/naming differ per colleague → messy output.
  • Incorrect level of detail: Certain details are missing in 3D/2D → the work preparation department will email back.
  • IFC/attributes hassle: Classifications not complete → information does not reach BIM Coordinator.
  • Revisions: Construction continues, someone needs to incorporate the revisions into the 3D BIM model.
  • Peak in capacity: Illness/vacation/overtime; you need an experienced modeler immediately.

What I can develop for you

3D (BIM) model (SketchUp)
  • Modeling from SD → DD → CD according to your template and workflow.
  • Logical component structure, tags/naming, dimensions and reference planes.
  • Scenes for views/sections with consistent naming.
  • Optional: attributes/classifications for schedules or IFC export.
2D drawings (LayOut)
  • Floor plans, elevations, sections, and details.
  • Complete with dimensions, tolerances, and numbering/labels.
  • Drawings the work floor can understand.
  • Consistent formatting according to your company standard.
Schedules & exports
  • IFC export in line with BIM protocol / BIM Basic IDS.
  • Parts/cutting lists from model data (CSV/Excel).
  • PDF for review/execution, DWG export if desired.
  • Optional: Other exchange formats upon request.
Collaboration that works
  • I work within your folder structure, SketchUp/LayOut versions, and standards.
  • Weekly progress update (Teams/Slack/Google Meet).
  • Clear planning and delivery milestones.

How I work for you

1. Listen

What is the scope of the project? I review your reference data and drawing standards. We align expectations.

2. Develop

I build a solid 3D BIM model in SketchUp Pro and optional 2D drawings with LayOut. Technically correct, logically structured, and clearly organized.

3. Experience

I deliver the 3D (BIM) model and any optional 2D drawings. If needed I discuss them with the preparation or project team. Clear communication, short lines.

Who I work for

  • Contractors
  • Timber builders
  • Joinery factories
  • Suppliers
  • Interior builders

Why choose a freelance BIM modeler?

When you're short on capacity or need speed, you want someone who can contribute independently and has experience with production-oriented 3D modeling. With my background in construction and 3D BIM modeling (and where useful some light automation), I deliver models and drawings ready for preparation and production.

I work with SketchUp Pro, LayOut, and Trimble Connect. Delivery in the desired format: IFC, DWG, or PDF.

What do you get?
A reliable 3D BIM model, clear communication, and a dependable freelance partner who delivers on promises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work remote or on-site?

Remote as a base; hybrid is possible upon good agreement in The Netherlands.

Which SketchUp versions do you use?

I work with the most recent version of SketchUp Pro. If preferred, I can work in an older version. We'll agree on that upfront.

How fast do you deliver?

Depends on scope and phase. We work in sprints and deliver incrementally so you always see progress.

Can you also develop small automations?

Only if you want that. The main goal is to support you as a BIM modeler; light routines can be developed to boost speed.
