CAD & BIM Standards

MMSD implemented a new version of the CAD Standards in April 2026 and a new version of the BIM Standards in August 2026.

Updated MMSD CAD & BIM Standards are available for viewing and download in PDF format below. Additional resources, including standard blocks, templates, and other supporting files, are also available for download below.

MMSD requires all new project drawings to be submitted in accordance with these standards. New project drawing deliverables that do not comply with these standards will not be accepted and will be returned to the consultant for correction.
