Why leading retail and restaurant brands choose GPD Group as their BIM partner.
We translate vision into intelligent data
GPD champions BIM to create a dynamic, data‑rich model that enables the development from concept to grand opening. Authoring all disciplines in Revit keeps geometry, quantities and schedules connected, producing tightly coordinated documents that reduce RFIs and speed delivery. Proven on nationwide retail rollouts, our workflow leverages the live BIM model from designers to contractors to store facility teams. Your model becomes the single source of truth for drawings, schedules, visualizations and take‑offs—so decisions happen faster and surprises happen less.
Proven innovators, not casual adopters
GPD was an early adopter of Revit and still sets the pace. A 2020 industry benchmark ranked our BIM practice at the forefront of the market, and we continue to refine best‑in‑class workflows that anticipate client needs to provide efficiencies and improvements to their development programs.

Collaboration in the cloud
Using ACC/BIM 360, we share live or published models with owners, vendors and contractors, giving everyone access to the latest data—anytime, anywhere. Clash detection, model coordination and design options are resolved before they ever hit the field.
Quality you can see – detail you can trust
Our retail models are curated to capture a level of detail that allows our teams to plan for any use-case – from conceptual massing to as-built analytics. Rigorous Revit QA/QC procedures verify geometry, quantities and parameters remain accurate from schematic design through record models. The result is a high-performing BIM package with reliable, scalable and accessible data that yields high value to the user.

"Collaborating with GPD Group on our Fleming’s restaurant projects has underscored the tremendous value of their BIM expertise. Their creation of detailed 3D models provides a clear visual representation of the project and facilitates better understanding and communication among stakeholders. Clash detection helps identify potential conflicts early in the design process, preventing costly on-site rework and change orders. GPD’s use of BIM provides a single source of truth for all project information that is accessible to all stakeholders so that all are on the same page, using the same information. By facilitating better communication and coordination, errors, costly time delays, and change orders are minimized." -Jay Hannifan, Sr. Design Manager
