Scan to BIM for apartment blocks and residential portfolios
Large residential portfolios need consistent unit data for refurbishment, fire safety cases and compliance. We deliver accurate, repeatable unit models at the scale a housing portfolio actually needs.
Sector snapshot
What usually drives the briefConsistent data across every unit and every block
Whether the driver is a fire safety case, a cladding survey or a refurbishment programme, residential portfolios need unit data that is consistent from block to block, not a folder of drawings from a dozen different sources.
We model repeated unit types once and apply them at scale, then flag anything that deviates from the standard layout, keeping a large portfolio accurate without a large budget. This is delivered through the same architectural scan to BIM process we use for commercial buildings.
Why sector experience matters here
- Repeated unit types modeled once and reused at scale
- Facade and cladding condition captured where required
- Fire safety and compliance documentation supported
- Consistent standard applied across a whole portfolio

Residential questions we hear most
Straight answers so you can scope your project with confidence.
Yes. We can capture facade construction, cladding type and compartmentation detail from scan data to support fire safety case documentation.
Only where units differ. Repeated unit types are modeled once as a family and placed throughout the block, keeping cost proportionate to the actual variation on site.
Yes. We set up one shared template and pricing structure for the portfolio, which is more cost effective than quoting block by block.
We coordinate access with your housing management team and schedule surveys around resident occupancy, similar to how we handle occupied hotel rooms.
