The client supplied point cloud data, 2D CAD files, photographs and survey information for the shed. From these inputs, Scan to BIM Services UK was asked to produce an accurate 3D Revit model covering both the architecture and the structure of the building.

ABOUT
Overview
Scan to BIM Services UK completed a point cloud to BIM project for a commercial locomotive shed in the United Kingdom. The building's structural complexity made the project technically demanding.
The shed contained more than 200 trusses of 10 different types, with some deviation on each truss. The scope also included structural plates, more than 25 window families, slanted walls, wall sweeps and pitched roofs. The LOD 300 model, including structural trusses and structural connections, was completed in only two weeks.
PROJECT SCOPE
The Brief
The model had to be built at LOD 300 and stay within ±15 mm of the point cloud, over a building of 166,733 sq. ft. spanning the ground floor and roof, within a two-week turnaround.

Our Approach
The Outcome
Scan to BIM Services UK delivered a complete LOD 300 Revit model of a 166,733 sq. ft. locomotive shed, including more than 200 deviating trusses of 10 types, structural plates and connections, in about two weeks and within ±15 mm of the point cloud.
The client’s feedback reflects a long-standing relationship built on dependable deliverables under deadline pressure.
We have been working with Scan to BIM Services UK for a few years now. I am always impressed with their deliverables and the ability to withstand deadline pressure.
