About Scan to BIM Services
WHO WE ARE

Point Cloud Specialists, Not a General CAD Bureau

Scan to BIM is a dedicated division of Tesla CAD UK Ltd, with roots going back to 2007. We have built our production team specifically around turning laser scans and point cloud data into accurate, usable BIM models.

Every project starts with the same question: what does the point cloud actually show? The scan is the record and we build our models to match it, element for element, before a single line is issued.

That discipline has carried us through more than a decade of heritage buildings with no surviving drawings, live retrofit sites with services buried in ceiling voids, and multi-discipline co-ordination packages where a single missed clash could cost a contractor weeks.

OUR MODEL

We Build Around the Point Cloud, Not Around Assumptions

Most BIM outsourcing asks you to trust their process. We show you the scan data our model was checked against.

Registered point cloud supplied for Scan to BIM modelling
01

You Send the Scan.

Registered point cloud in, LOD and discipline scope agreed. No re-briefing, no site revisit required unless coverage genuinely demands it.

02

We Model Against It.

Every wall, member, and service run is traced from the point cloud and checked against it before issue, not modelled from memory of 'typical' buildings.

03

You Get a Model That Holds Up on Site.

Federated, clash-checked and issued to your CDE at the LOD you specified. If it's in the model, it's in the building.

OUR SCOPE

End-to-End Scan to BIM. One Team, Start to Finish.

Every resource on your project works exclusively in scan-derived BIM.

Common Icon

Architectural Scan to BIM

Walls, floors, roofs, openings and rooms modelled to the required LOD from verified geometry.

Common Icon

Structural Scan to BIM

Steel members, connections, bracing and grid lines, verified against the scan. Steel scope only.

Common Icon

MEP Scan to BIM

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing services as installed. Ready for clash detection and FM handover.

Common Icon

Point Cloud to BIM

All three disciplines, one co-ordinated model, federated and clash-checked before issue.

Common Icon

Scan to CAD & As-Built Drawings

2D DWG record drawings (plans, elevations and sections) directly from your scan data.

Common Icon

Revit Families & Mesh Models

Custom parametric families and 3D mesh output for objects no standard library covers.

WHY TEAMS CHOOSE US

The Difference Shows Up in the Model

01

The Scan Is the Truth, Not a Guideline

We do not 'clean up' geometry toward what a building should look like. If the scan shows an out-of-true wall or a re-routed pipe run, the model shows it too.

02

No Original Drawings? Not a Problem

A large share of our work starts with nothing but a point cloud. Heritage buildings, undocumented retrofits and pre-digital record buildings are where this discipline earns its keep.

03

Multi-Discipline, Genuinely Co-ordinated

Architectural, structural and MEP modelled from the same registered scan and federated in Navisworks, so clashes are caught before they reach a site team.

04

One Point of Contact, Full Production Team Behind Them

You brief one person. A trained Scan to BIM production team, following ISO 19650 and Uniclass 2015 conventions, delivers behind them, without you managing the handoffs.
