Scan-to-BIM

Existing buildings converted into structured BIM models for design, coordination and asset workflows, developed from accurate point cloud data by our in-house survey and BIM teams.

01/What we deliver

BIM models built around your project requirements.

We convert captured existing-condition data into coordinated BIM models tailored to the required discipline, platform, level of detail and information requirements.

02/Reality to model

Turning reality into intelligent BIM models.

Drag handles 01 and 02 to peel reality and the point cloud back to the 3D Revit model

A point cloud captures the building as it exists. Our BIM expertise transforms that data into accurate, information-rich models that support smarter design, seamless coordination and effective asset management.

By bringing our surveying and BIM teams together, we deliver reliable, fit-for-purpose models tailored to your project needs.

03/Model specification

Model the right information, at the right level.

Before modelling begins, we agree what the model needs to support, the disciplines, LOD, information structure and delivery platform.

04/Model complexity

From simple models to multidisciplinary BIM.

01

Feasibility and planning

Enough geometry to establish massing, levels and key building fabric.

02

Refurbishment and retrofit

Detailed architectural and structural information, with visible MEPH systems for coordination.

03

Complex programmes

Federated multidisciplinary models, custom families, defined asset data and project-specific structures.

06/Discuss your project

Define your Scan-to-BIM requirements.

Tell us what the model needs to support, which disciplines are required and how your team will use the information. We will help define the capture method, model scope, LOD and delivery requirements.
