Scan to BIM
Convert laser scan and point cloud data into accurate architectural BIM models for renovation, restoration, design development, and existing building documentation.
Architectural As-Built Modelling
We provide Architecture Scan to BIM services to convert laser scan / point cloud data into detailed architectural BIM models. Our team develops as-built BIM models of walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, and facade elements directly from scan data.
These models represent actual building conditions and are used for renovation, retrofit, restoration, and design development projects.
Our Architecture Scan to BIM services help you:
- Convert point cloud to architectural BIM models
- Develop as-built BIM models for existing buildings
- Support renovation, retrofit, and restoration projects
- Improve design accuracy and coordination

Frequently Asked Questions
Architectural Scan to BIM is the process of converting laser scan and point cloud data into accurate 3D architectural BIM models of existing buildings.
Models typically include walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, and façade elements based on real site conditions.
It is widely used in renovation projects, heritage restoration, building documentation, and retrofit design workflows.
Accuracy is maintained through precise point cloud registration, validation checks, and strict alignment with scan data.
Deliverables include BIM models (RVT/IFC), CAD drawings, point cloud files, and coordinated documentation sets.
Yes, it provides accurate as-built models that help in planning design changes and renovation work efficiently.
Common formats include E57, RCP, RCS for point clouds and RVT, IFC, DWG, and PDF for BIM outputs.
Clash detection is performed when architectural models are coordinated with MEP or structural systems.
Tools like Autodesk Revit and point cloud processing software are commonly used for modelling and coordination.
Architectural BIM improves coordination by providing accurate 3D models that help architects, engineers, and contractors identify issues early and streamline design and construction workflows.
