Scan to BIM

What is Scan to BIM?

A new world of building digitization – with the BIM method, we use the most modern and innovative technology you can find on the market. To put it simply, our Scan to BIM service could also be described as 3D surveying, which scans a finished building by using 3D laser scanners and creates a BIM model from the data obtained in this way, also known as a point cloud.

In recent years, technical innovations in the field of hardware and software solutions have once again improved and optimized the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the Scan to BIM method. As a result, the new type of 3D surveying is becoming more and more popular as a competitive alternative to classic 2D surveying and continues to drive progress.

How does Scan to BIM work?

In contrast to 2D surveying, the powerful laser scanners can provide three-dimensional measurement data during surveying. Our team takes care of the on-site scan of your building and compiles the collected data in so-called point clouds. In a second step, we process these point clouds and convert them into a three-dimensional model of your object. This model allows you to create accurate as-built models or compare the actual conditions of your construction project with the design.

The data from the model and point cloud gives you the opportunity to carry out further planning steps and considerations. Due to the fast processing of the information and the precise information that our models provide you, you save time in planning and money in the implementation of your project compared to conventional 2D models. For easy handling and faster arrangements, you can also output the delivered file in various file formats such as Plancal, nova, Revit, DWG and IFC and forward it conveniently and conveniently to suppliers or external service providers.

Step 1

Request a quote

The team and the necessary equipment will be sent to your project site on an agreed date.

Step 2

Prompt response and recording of your order details

All necessary measurement data, such as the scan density and the number of measuring points, are then determined. This is where the information you gave us in the initial consultation comes into play.

Step 3

Submitting the Floor Plan

Now the actual scan begins. Since the 3D laser scanner can only capture what is in its line of sight, multiple scans are made at different locations. In this way, the entire object can be recorded.

Step 4

Editing your floor plans

The data collected is read out and transmitted to our computers for further processing.

Step 5

Providing your finished floor plan

Next, the point cloud is created from the collected information using our software.

Step 6

In the last step

In the last step, the three-dimensional BIM model is created from the point cloud.

Key Advantages of Our Scan to BIM Service

The Scan to BIM method is characterised by the following advantages:

The data is collected in a much shorter period of time compared to conventional 2D models and measurements.
Human error from traditional as-built documentation processes is eliminated
Information can be exchanged more quickly
Teams only need to visit the project site once to collect data.
The data collected is future-orientated and ready for future construction projects.
