Scan to BIM Services — Point Cloud to Intelligent As-Built Models
We convert laser scan point cloud data into accurate, data-rich Revit BIM models — for renovation, heritage buildings, as-built documentation, and facility management.
From Reality Capture to Intelligent BIM Models
We convert laser scan point cloud data into accurate, data-rich Revit BIM models. This process, known as Scan to BIM, is essential for renovation, retrofitting, restoration, facility management, and as-built documentation where accurate representation of existing conditions is paramount.
Working with data from a range of scanning technologies, we create detailed models that reflect the true physical state of a building. We accurately capture out-of-plumb walls, sagging structural beams, and complex mechanical networks exactly as they exist in reality, eliminating the risk of design errors based on outdated 2D drawings.
Our dedicated reality capture modelling team works to your specific Level of Development (LOD) requirements, delivering reliable architectural, structural, and MEP models that serve as a trustworthy foundation for your design and construction workflows.
The Scan to BIM Workflow
📥 Data Receipt
We receive your point cloud data in any format — Faro .FLS, Leica .E57, ReCap .RCS, drone photogrammetry, or any .LAS/.LAZ file.
🔄 Processing
Raw scan data is processed in Autodesk ReCap Pro — registered, cleaned, and prepared for BIM modelling.
🏛 BIM Modelling
Our Revit team models all architectural, structural, and MEP elements directly referencing the point cloud — element by element, to your specified LOD.
✅ Verification
Model accuracy is verified against the point cloud. A comparison report is produced showing point cloud-to-model deviation.
📦 Delivery
Final deliverables: Revit .RVT, IFC, DWG drawings, PDF, and comparison report — in your required format.
Scan Formats We Accept
We work with any point cloud format. If your scanner produces a different output, contact us — we can work with it.

LOD & Accuracy — What to Expect
LOD Level
LOD 200 to LOD 500 — the appropriate level is determined by your project requirements and the quality of scan data available.
Accuracy
Geometric accuracy depends on the quality of scan data provided. We work with any scan quality and advise on achievable accuracy before modelling begins.
Survey-Grade Models
Survey-grade as-built models are available for projects requiring precise dimensional accuracy.
