You cannot redesign, renovate, or manage a building you cannot accurately measure. Our Scan to BIM service captures the precise as-built condition of any structure using 3D laser scanning and transforms the resulting point cloud into an accurate, information-rich BIM model — the foundation for renovation, retrofit, and facility management projects.
Discuss Your ProjectLaser scan accuracy that captures conditions drawings never could — as things actually are.
A single scan captures what takes weeks of manual measurement — reducing site time dramatically.
As-built BIM with asset data that supports FM software integration and lifecycle planning.
Scan plan, site access arrangement, and laser scanning execution.
Point cloud registration, noise filtering, and georeferencing.
As-built BIM model built from registered point cloud to agreed LOD.
BIM model, point cloud files, deviation report, and IFC export.
Custom software, data platforms, AI/ML, and cloud services that integrate with your BIM workflows.
Common questions about our Scan to BIM service.
Scanning a typical floor takes 1–2 days on site. Modelling time depends on area and LOD — typically 1 week per 1,000 sqm at LOD 300. We provide a fixed programme at project kick-off once the scope and LOD are confirmed.
Both. Some clients need only the registered point cloud for their own modellers. Others need a complete as-built Revit model. We scope and price each deliverable separately so you pay only for what you need.
Modern laser scanners such as the Leica RTC360 capture geometry to within ±1–2mm at the scanner position. After registration across multiple scan stations, combined model accuracy is typically ±3–5mm — vastly exceeding manual survey methods.
Yes — scan-to-BIM is ideal for heritage structures where traditional survey is difficult and drawing records are unreliable. We have experience modelling listed buildings and structures with irregular geometry, and we work to the RICS guidance on measured surveys of land and buildings.
We plan the scan session to maximise coverage, but some areas may require secondary access. Inaccessible zones are noted in the scan report, and the model flags areas where geometry was inferred rather than captured. We advise on the impact on model accuracy.
Yes — the as-built model is built in Revit and structured for design development. Architects and engineers can use it as the basis for renovation design, overlay proposed changes, and run clashes against the existing structure immediately.
A deviation analysis compares the scan-to-BIM model against design drawings to identify where the built structure deviates from the original design. This is commonly used for pre-handover verification, insurance assessments, and quality control on complex fabrication projects.
