Record BIM model
A complete model of the building as it exists, with every discipline you asked for coordinated in one file set.
Record and Retrofit Modeling
As built BIM models that match the building standing in front of you
Old drawings lie. Walls moved, services were rerouted and nobody updated the file. We build a record model from scan data so every decision after this one starts from fact.

Overview
The gap between the drawings and the building is where budgets die
Most renovation overruns trace back to one thing. The team designed against a drawing that no longer described the building. An as built model closes that gap permanently.
We model what the scanner saw, not what the original design intended, and we mark every assumption clearly so your team knows exactly what is verified and what is not. For estates that also need the record linked to live asset data, this model is the natural starting point for a digital twin.
- Verified geometry, not redrawn legacy documents
- Hidden service routes captured where scans reached them
- Asset data attached for handover and operations
- One source of truth for every consultant on the job
Why choose us
An as built model is only useful if you can trust which parts are fact
Most vendors deliver geometry and let you guess what was actually measured. We do not.
01
100% status tagged
Every element marked verified or assumed
You always know what the scanner actually measured and what is an informed inference, never guesswork disguised as fact.
02
COBie and IFC native
Facility data exported without manual remapping
Asset data goes straight into your CAFM or CMMS platform in the format it already expects.
03
LOD 300 to 500
One team, from renovation accuracy to operations record
The same team takes the model from design accuracy through to a field verified operations asset register.
04
15 day free window
Corrections after handover cost nothing
Anything inside the agreed scope gets fixed at no charge for 15 days after delivery, no separate invoice.
What you get
What an as built package includes
Built for the people who will still be using it in ten years.
Asset register
Equipment tagged with make, model, serial, location and service data, exported to spreadsheet or COBie.
Room data sheets
Area, finish, ceiling height and occupancy data per room, ready for space management platforms.
As built drawing set
Floor plans, ceiling plans, sections and elevations produced directly from the model, not redrawn.
Variance report
A written comparison between the original drawings and what the scan actually found.
Facility ready export
IFC or COBie output structured to load into your CAFM or maintenance system without rework.
Scope of work
What we capture in an as built model
Scope is set per discipline, so you never pay to model services you will not touch.
Included in every project
- Full architectural shell and internal partitions
- Structural frame, slabs and visible connections
- Mechanical, electrical and plumbing routes
- Fire protection and sprinkler layout
- Vertical transport and shaft geometry
- Ceiling voids and accessible service zones
- Fixed furniture and specialist equipment
- External envelope and roof condition
- Room naming, numbering and area data
- Asset tagging to your naming convention
| Scope item | What we deliver | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Renovation model | LOD 300 geometry across the affected zones | Design and permit drawings |
| Coordination model | LOD 350 with services and supports | Fit out and services replacement |
| Handover model | LOD 400 with asset data attached | Project closeout and warranty |
| Operations model | LOD 500 verified record with COBie | Facility and maintenance teams |
Own a portfolio rather than one building. We run multi site programmes with a shared template and a single asset naming standard, so every building in your estate reports the same way.
How it works
How an as built project runs
Phased delivery keeps your design team moving while later floors are still in production.
Survey planning
We agree scan coverage, access windows and the level of detail needed in each zone before anyone walks the site.
Capture or intake
Our survey partners scan the building, or we take your existing scan data and audit it for coverage.
Model build
Each discipline is modeled against the registered cloud and marked with verified or assumed status.
Data enrichment
Asset details, room data and classification codes are added so the model works for operations, not just design.
Handover
You get the model, drawings, data exports and a walkthrough call with the team who built it.
Why clients pick us for this
Fewer site surprises
Clients report far fewer change orders after handover.
Operations ready
COBie and CAFM exports included, not charged as an extra.
Verified status flags
You always know what is measured and what is assumed.
Case study
Building a record model where the drawings could not be trusted
Government · Ottawa
The challenge
A public sector estates team was planning a major retrofit of a 1960s office complex, but the only drawings on file were forty years old and did not reflect three later renovations, including a full mechanical system replacement.
What we did
We modeled the building from fresh scan data, tagged every element as verified or assumed, and built an asset register that matched the client existing facility management system so operations staff could adopt it immediately.
The result
100 percent field verified
Every wall, service run and piece of major equipment checked against the scan
6 weeks to full handover
Across architecture, structure and MEP for the whole complex
Zero rework requests
Design team accepted the model without a single correction cycle
"We stopped designing against drawings we did not trust the day this model landed."

Questions
As Built BIM questions we hear most
Straight answers so you can scope your project with confidence.
A design model shows intent. An as built model shows reality. Every element in our as built files is placed against measured scan data, and anything we could not verify is flagged so it cannot be mistaken for fact.
Where the scanner can reach, yes. We plan access with your facility team so ceiling tiles and riser doors are open during the survey. Anything sealed is recorded as unverified.
Yes. We map asset data to COBie tables and validate the output before it goes to you, so it loads into your maintenance system without manual fixing.
Yes. We compare your existing model against fresh scan data, list every deviation, then update the file rather than starting over. This is usually far cheaper than a rebuild.
A 100,000 square foot building at LOD 300 typically takes four to six weeks across all disciplines. Phased delivery means you see the first floors in about two weeks.
