Additionally, we offer Structural Scan to BIM Services to deliver comprehensive and accurate digital representations of structural elements.
Backed by years of experience, our MEP Scan to BIM services enhance accuracy, efficiency, and value in your projects, helping you simplify design, planning, and project execution.
What is MEP Scan to BIM?
MEP Scan to BIM is a process that involves capturing precise spatial data of existing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems using 3D laser scanning technology. These scans generate point cloud data, which is then used to create accurate and intelligent BIM models specifically focused on MEP components. This modeling process goes beyond geometry—each element is defined with real-world dimensions, spatial relationships, and system intent.
In MEP-focused projects, this approach helps stakeholders understand and document existing infrastructure, especially in complex or congested environments like hospitals, industrial plants, and commercial high-rises. By creating a detailed digital model of existing systems, stakeholders can assess conditions and spot conflicts accurately. This helps them plan upgrades or retrofits without depending on old or incomplete drawings. This reduces risk and improves coordination among disciplines.
This process is valuable for renovation, repair, and upgrade projects. It supports working efficiently around existing systems. The models it creates help with off-site building, make maintenance planning easier, support following rules and codes, and help teams make better decisions throughout the project. It connects real-world conditions with digital planning, making sure MEP systems are designed and built accurately.
Our MEP Scan to BIM Conversion Process
Initial Consultation & Project Assessment
We begin by meeting with the client to discuss the project's goals, including the type of MEP systems involved, the level of detail required, and the project’s timeline. This step involves reviewing any existing architectural or engineering documents to understand the building’s layout and MEP system placement.
On-site MEP Laser Scanning
Our team visits the project site to perform high-resolution laser scanning of the building’s Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems. The scanning devices capture millions of data points, known as a point cloud, which represent the geometry and location of the MEP components.
Data Processing & Point Cloud Registration
The point cloud data from the laser scan is processed and registered, meaning individual scans are stitched together to create a comprehensive and unified point cloud that accurately represents the building’s MEP systems.
Point Cloud Registration
Our BIM specialists use the point cloud data to create a 3D model of the MEP systems in specialized BIM software like Revit. This step involves accurately modeling all components, including ductwork, piping, electrical conduits, lighting fixtures, HVAC systems, and plumbing. We ensure that every element is placed with precision, matching the as-built conditions of the site.
Model Validation & Quality Control
After the initial modeling, the BIM model undergoes a quality control process. This involves cross-referencing the model with the original point cloud data and any existing documents to ensure dimensional accuracy and compliance with project specifications. Any inconsistencies or errors are addressed at this stage.
Model Coordination & Clash Detection
The MEP BIM model is integrated into the overall building model, allowing for coordination with structural, architectural, and other system models. Specialized clash detection software is used to identify conflicts between MEP elements and other building systems, such as beams, columns, or walls.
Final Model Delivery & Documentation
Once the model is finalized, we deliver the complete 3D MEP BIM model to the client, along with any necessary documentation, such as 2D drawings, schematics, and reports. The model is delivered in formats compatible with industry-standard BIM software, ensuring ease of use in ongoing projects.
Post-Delivery Support
Depending on the project’s scope, we offer post-delivery support, including model updates, revisions, or adjustments as the project progresses. We also provide assistance in using the BIM model for construction planning, facility management, and future system upgrades.
