Scan-to-BIM Services

Our laser scan-to-BIM services turn registered point clouds into existing-condition models for renovation, design coordination and facility planning. We model the architectural, structural and MEP elements your team needs, to an agreed scope.

What You Receive

Turn Captured Conditions into a Model Your Team Can Use

The point cloud records the visible site. We use that reference to model the architectural, structural and MEP elements your project needs. The result is an existing-condition BIM that supports renovation design and coordination within the agreed scope.

Project Guidance

What does a Scan-to-BIM service deliver?

Our Scan-to-BIM modeling services deliver selected existing building elements in Revit or another agreed BIM format. The registered point cloud remains the measurement reference. Before modeling, we agree the elements to include, coordinates, level of detail, tolerances, file version and review requirements.

01

Define the model before modeling begins

Start with the decision the model needs to support. For a renovation, that might mean walls, floor levels and openings; for MEP coordination, it might mean selected pipes, ducts and equipment. These are examples of scope, not a promise to model everything in the scan. We confirm software, coordinates, element categories, naming, tolerances and exclusions before production.

02

Keep LOD, LOA and tolerance distinct

Level of Development (LOD) describes model-element content and reliability. Level of Accuracy (LOA), when specified, addresses how accurately the model represents existing conditions. Neither replaces checks of field capture and scan registration. The scope states how model geometry will be compared with the cloud and which interfaces need tighter tolerances.

  • LOD: model element content and reliability
  • LOA: specified and measured accuracy of represented existing conditions
  • Registration QA: evidence that scan positions align as required
  • Model tolerance: permitted deviation between selected model geometry and the registered cloud
03

Point cloud to BIM conversion services

Our Scan-to-BIM conversion services translate measured surfaces into building elements your team can use. Walls, structure, equipment and MEP systems are modeled only where included in the scope. Irregular surfaces and partially visible elements need documented judgment; hidden geometry cannot be treated as a measured condition.

  • Architectural existing conditions
  • Selected structural context
  • Project-defined MEP categories
  • Elements retained as point-cloud reference
04

Review the model against the agreed scope

We compare representative model geometry with the registered cloud and check alignment, coordinates, categories and file requirements. The delivery records relevant limitations and exclusions so your design or construction team can use the model within its agreed scope.

05

Use your existing point cloud for a project anywhere

We support Scan-to-BIM projects across Florida, throughout the United States and internationally. If your team already has a point cloud, we review its coverage, registration and suitability before agreeing the modeling scope. We confirm units, coordinates, Revit version, model categories and delivery requirements with your team. A new site visit is needed only when additional capture is required for the agreed work.
