Scan to BIM Services
Scan to BIM is the process of converting registered laser scan or point cloud data into accurate, parametric Revit models of an existing building's fabric, steel structure and services. Its geometry is verified against the scan rather than inferred from design drawings.
Choose Your Service, or Commission All Three from Scan to BIM
Each discipline has its full deliverables, LOD specifications and process.
Architectural Scan to BIM
01The building fabric modelled as it stands. Every wall, floor, roof, opening and room space, in a verified parametric Revit model at agreed LOD.
- Walls & Partitions (internal and external)
- Floors, Roofs & Ceilings
- Doors, Windows & Stairs
- Rooms, Areas & GIA Schedules
Structural Scan to BIM
02The steel frame as it was erected, with member sizes, connections, bracing and grid lines, verified against the scan. Steel scope only.
- Beams & Columns (verified section sizes)
- Connections & Bracing
- Grid Lines & Datum Levels
- Condition Flagging Where Visible
MEP Scan to BIM
03Mechanical, electrical and plumbing services as installed. Every pipe, duct and cable run in a co-ordinated model, with COBie data on request.
- Mechanical: Ductwork, AHUs & Plant
- Electrical: Containment & Distribution
- Plumbing: Pipework, Drainage & Valves
- Ceiling Voids & Central Plant

Frequently Asked Questions
Scan to BIM is the process of converting registered laser scan or point cloud data into a parametric BIM model of a building's existing condition. A surveyor scans the building with a laser scanner, producing a registered point cloud. We then trace that point cloud in Autodesk Revit to build a parametric model at the Level of Detail your project specifies.
We work from scan data you supply. We accept registered point cloud files in all common formats, including RCP, RCS, E57, LAS and LAZ. If you are commissioning a survey and need guidance on scan specification, we can advise before the survey takes place.
Yes. All three disciplines can be modelled from the same point cloud as one co-ordinated project, with clash detection across the models before issue. We also model a single discipline for clients who need only one.
