BIM & Scan-to-BIM
Turning point cloud data into models teams can actually build from. Scan-to-BIM converts a registered scan into an intelligent Revit or BIM model of existing conditions — walls, structure, MEP and envelope modelled to an agreed level of development rather than traced by hand from field notes. These guides cover LOD and LOA, what a BIM execution plan should specify, how to bring a point cloud into Revit, clash detection and federated models, and where scan-to-BIM pays for itself against 2D as-builts on renovation and coordination work.
