Scan to BIM Services
Transform point cloud data into intelligent BIM models for as-built documentation, retrofit, and digital twin development.
Point Cloud to Intelligent BIM Modelling
Scan to BIM is a process that converts laser-scanned point cloud data into accurate, data-rich Building Information Models. It enables precise as-built documentation, design validation, and digital twin creation for existing structures. Our Scan to BIM services transforms raw scan data into structured BIM models aligned with project requirements, BIM standards, and Level of Development (LOD) specifications.
WHAT WE DO
We convert terrestrial laser scan data and photogrammetry outputs into intelligent BIM models for architecture, engineering, and construction projects. Our models provide accurate geometry, structured data, and coordination-ready outputs for design, analysis, and facility management.
Our services support:
- As-built documentation of existing structures
- Retrofit, renovation, and refurbishment projects
- Heritage and HBIM modelling
- MEP system mapping and coordination
- Digital twin development for facility management
Scan To BIM Approach
Basic Geometry Modelling (Scan to CAD / Dump BIM)
- Geometry-focused modelling from point cloud
- Generic elements without parametric intelligence
- Fast turnaround for visualization and planning
- Suitable for concept design and spatial reference
Intelligent BIM Modelling (Data-Rich)
- Parametric Revit modelling from point cloud
- Discipline-wise modelling (Architecture, Structure, MEP)
- LOD-based modelling (LOD 200–400)
- COBie and IFC data integration
- Clash-ready coordinated BIM model
Level of Development (LOD)
We provide intelligent modelling from basic geometry to detailed parametric models with full asset data integrations.
