Scan to BIM

We provide Scan to BIM 3D modelling services, using the latest technology to convert point cloud and laser survey data into sophisticated 3D BIM models for architects, retailers, surveyors and main contractors. We also provide MEP Scan to BIM services for consulting engineers, MEP designers and MEP contractors.

Our BIM models are typically created using Revit Architecture and Revit MEP. The raw survey data is compiled from the rapid processing of millions of site data points and images, as part of the Scan to BIM process. We can also use the raw survey data and images from laser survey tools with a range of specialist software tools to create accurate architectural and MEP models to depict existing buildings.

Scanners identify a structure’s surface details for point cloud information. Point clouds thus include precise and large amounts of data and can be converted to object-based BIM models, where scanned data is converted to BIM data. Our point cloud to BIM modelling service creates accurate models for as-built purposes as well as for retrofit, refurbishment and renovation projects.

Our BIM experts have significant experience in handling large volumes of surveyed data and point cloud models, and our VDC (Virtual Design & Construction) experts deal with errors or inconsistencies and develop accurate, intelligent 3D models.

Point Cloud to BIM

We commonly combine Scan to BIM models for existing buildings with models for new/renovated areas of a building. Our models feature beams, columns, ceilings, internal walls, external landscape elements and MEP fittings.

The 3D BIM model that we create from laser scan data provides information on construction materials, conditions and costs. We also model building alterations and changes from architectural and structural drawings, such as false ceilings and additional structural elements.
