    01 — What it is

    How scan-to-bim actually works

    Scan-to-BIM converts registered point cloud data into parametric, intelligent Revit models. Instead of field-measuring and sketching conditions onto paper, the model is built directly from millions of survey-grade 3D measurements — ensuring the BIM matches reality, not decades-old record drawings.

    We model architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines to the Level of Development your project requires — from LOD 100 conceptual massing for feasibility studies through LOD 500 verified-as-built for facility handover and ongoing operations.

    Deliverables

    02 — What you get

    Deliverables in your standard formats

    • Federated Revit (.rvt) model — architectural, structural, and/or MEP
    • Navisworks (.nwd) coordination model for clash workflows
    • IFC export for open-BIM interoperability
    • Deviation heatmap report showing model-to-scan tolerances
    • Family library of custom in-situ components
    • 2D plans, sections, and elevations extracted from the 3D model

    Tools & workflows

    Technology stack

    Built around the platforms project teams already use for modeling, coordination, point cloud processing, and delivery.

    Modeling

    Authoring platforms where point-cloud data becomes LOD 300+ Revit models ready for coordination.

    Coordination

    Aggregation tools for multi-discipline clash detection before model handoff.

    Validation

    Deviation analysis and QA/QC workflows ensuring models match field conditions within tolerance.

    How it works

    Our process

    A repeatable, auditable workflow from kickoff to handoff — refined across hundreds of mission-critical engagements.

    01

    Scope & standards alignment

    We review the point cloud, confirm LOD targets, modeling standards, and Revit template requirements.

    02

    Model build

    Discipline teams model directly from the registered point cloud — no field tape, no assumptions.

    03

    QA & deviation check

    Every model is checked against the source scan. Deviation reports flag any element outside the agreed tolerance band.

    04

    Delivery & handover

    You receive the federated model, coordination exports, and deviation documentation in the formats your team uses.

    Project types we run end-to-end

    The same crews, standards, and QA process whether it's a 5,000 sf tenant fit-out or a campus-scale capital program.

    Healthcare renovations

    Active-facility scan-to-BIM with infection-control protocols and coordinated MEP/FP.

    Data center retrofits

    MEP-dense as-built models for white-space and plant retrofits without taking the floor offline.

    Industrial retool

    Existing-conditions models for process piping, conveyor lines, and structural verification.

    Commercial repositioning

    As-built capture and modeling for fit-outs, repositioning, and brand-standard rollouts.

    Government & public sector

    Cleared workflows and CAD/BIM standards for federal and municipal facility programs.

    Higher-ed campuses

    Campus-wide as-builts, utility tunnels, and MEP rooms for capital planning.

    What shows up in the handoff

    Every engagement ends with a documented, versioned deliverable package — not a folder of loose files.

    Sample workflow

    One repeatable, auditable path from field capture to a coordinated, owner-ready model.

    1. Step 01

      Scan

      Field crews capture the existing conditions with survey-grade laser scanners.

    2. Step 02

      Register

      Point clouds registered and QA'd to a documented accuracy threshold before modeling begins.

    3. Step 03

      Model

      Discipline-specific Revit/IFC built to the agreed LOD with consistent families, naming, and standards.

    4. Step 04

      QC

      Two-person QC pass: discipline lead plus an independent reviewer against the cloud.

    5. Step 05

      Deliver

      Federated model, registered cloud, 2D as-builts, and a QA report — versioned and ready for handoff.

    Standards, certifications, and QA you can audit.

    We document credentials, name the standards we operate to, and ship a QA report on every project — so procurement, legal, and engineering all see the same proof.
