What is Scan to BIM?
Scan to BIM is a process where laser scanning technology is used to capture the existing conditions of a building or structure. The data collected from the scan, often in the form of a point cloud, is then used to create a highly accurate 3D model or BIM. This digital model replicates the real-world structure, enabling architects, engineers, and project managers to work with precise information about the building’s layout and features.
In modern construction and renovation projects, Scan to BIM plays a critical role. It eliminates guesswork by providing detailed insights into the existing structure, helping professionals make more informed decisions throughout the design, planning, and construction phases.
Exploring Scan to BIM Technology
Scan to BIM services rely on advanced technologies like 3D Laser Scanning and LiDAR to convert physical structures into detailed digital models. These models are created using software like Revit or Archicad. They contain comprehensive details about a building’s architecture, structure, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) systems. The process begins with reality capture techniques such as Point Cloud modeling and Cyclone 360. These techniques gather precise spatial data.
This data is used to develop As-Built Models and Mesh Models. These models are essential for applications like surface reconstruction, topographic surveys, and quality control. They also support processes like clash detection, which ensures that all systems within a building work together without conflict. By integrating with systems like COBie, Scan to BIM enhances construction operations and facilities management. It also supports VDC (Virtual Design and Construction) for effective project planning.
Scan to BIM is important in heritage preservation projects. Through Heritage BIM, it helps create accurate digital records of historical structures. It also plays a vital role in construction sequencing, ensuring that each phase of construction is meticulously planned and executed. The digital twins produced through Scan to BIM serve as reliable references for ongoing building management and maintenance. These digital models are indispensable tools in modern construction and renovation projects.

Our Scan to BIM Conversion Process
Initial Project Planning
Discuss project requirements, goals, and expectations. Define the scope of work, including scanned areas and the level of detail needed.
Scanned Data Collection
Receive the scanned data (point clouds) from the client. Conduct an initial review to ensure it meets the required quality and coverage.
Point Cloud Registration
Align and merge multiple point clouds into a single dataset. Clean the data by removing irrelevant points. Verify accuracy and completeness.
Data Processing
Identify and extract key features like walls, floors, and structural elements. Convert the point cloud data into a detailed 3D BIM model using software like Revit. Add necessary architectural, structural, and MEP details.
BIM Model Creation and Validation
Ensure the model meets the required level of detail. Integrate attribute information, such as materials and asset data. Validate the model against the original point cloud, perform clash detection, and conduct necessary analyses.
Client Review, Approval, and Handover
Prepare customized deliverables based on client requirements, such as 3D BIM models and 2D CAD drawings. Present the final model for review, gather feedback, and make adjustments. Deliver the final BIM model, provide training, and offer ongoing support.
