Scan-to-BIM Service

Scan-to-BIM is a process of capturing existing building conditions using LiDAR scanners and creating a 3D BIM model using the captured data. The process involves scanning the building or structure using a LiDAR scanner, which captures precise measurements of the space. The captured data is then processed using advanced software tools to create a highly accurate 3D BIM model.

The benefits of Scan-to-BIM are numerous. It allows you to accurately capture and document the existing conditions of a building or structure, which can help you make informed decisions during the design and construction phases of a project. The resulting BIM model can be used for clash detection, design validation, and construction planning. This can help you save time and money on your project by reducing errors, minimizing rework, and increasing efficiency.

The type of scans required to create a BIM model depends on the complexity and size of the building or structure. Generally, multiple scans are required to capture all the necessary data, including floor plans, elevations, and sections. The scans are then processed using software tools to create a highly accurate 3D BIM model.

The accuracy of the resulting BIM model depends on several factors, including the quality of the LiDAR scans, the software tools used for processing the data, and the expertise of the Scan-to-BIM team. Generally, the tolerance level for a BIM model created using LiDAR scans is between 2-5mm (0.079-0.20 inch).

We use the most advanced software tools for Scan-to-BIM, including Autodesk Revit, PointCab, FARO Scene, and Leica Geosystems. These tools are industry-standard and are widely used in the AEC industry for creating highly accurate 3D BIM models.

The time required to complete a Scan-to-BIM project depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of the building or structure, the number of scans required, and the level of detail required in the BIM model. Typically, a Scan-to-BIM project can be completed within a few weeks to a few months.

The cost of a Scan-to-BIM project is determined by several factors, including the size and complexity of the building or structure, the number of scans required, and the level of detail required in the BIM model. We provide customized quotes based on the specific needs of each project.

We offer a high level of customization in our Scan-to-BIM models, including the ability to add or remove elements, customize materials and finishes, and add annotations and dimensions. The resulting BIM model can be used for future projects and can be easily updated with new information as needed.

We take data security and confidentiality VERY SERIOUSLY. We use secure servers and encryption protocols to protect your data during the Scan-to-BIM process. We also have strict confidentiality agreements in place with all of our clients.

We offer ongoing support after the completion of the Scan-to-BIM project, including technical support and training. We are available to answer any questions or concerns you may have and can be reached by phone or email.
