Scan to BIM is a process by which physical structures are digitally captured using 3D Laser Scanning Technology and then transformed into accurate, digital Building Information Models (BIM). In our company, we utilise the state-of-the-art Trimble X7 for our scanning operations ensuring precise capture of site conditions and details.
A 3D Laser Scanning Survey will initiate the process. A representative of our team will visit the property or location with the Trimble X7 3D Laser Scanner to scan the building and its surroundings in its entirety, or relative to the specifications provided by the client. Multiple scans are taken throughout the day to create the Point Cloud.
A Point Cloud is an accurate digital record of a space and the objects within that space. Using our digital twin software, the 3D laser scanner ensures the precise capture and measurement of each point of your building. The result of this is several data points taken together to produce a Point Cloud.
This provides an exceptional level of accuracy and is a 3D record of your building or structure from which we can begin modelling and drawing.
Once the scans are completed, the point cloud data is imported into BIM tools, such as Revit, where the information is transformed into a detailed, interactive 3D BIM model and 2D outputs such as elevations and sections. 3D BIM modelling allows us to create and view virtual models with intelligent 3D objects instead of just 2D lines.
The integration of visualization, quantification, design simulation, construction, and other tasks related to the building process, allows for efficient design modifications, and accurate facility management and ensures our project stakeholders have an up-to-date representation of the as-built environment.
Our Scan To BIM process captures structural details which are then converted into a BIM Model. This model is adaptable, allowing outputs to be compatible with various 3D software such as Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Rhino. This flexibility enables us to meet diverse project needs and align with our clients’ preferred software and workflows.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve the best results from your survey.
We work across Greater London and the Home Counties: Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Middlesex, Oxfordshire, Surrey, and Sussex. Book a measured survey today for your property in Greater London or the Home Counties.
We will survey all accessible floors in the property and provide plans showing all visible walls, windows, doors, spot height levels, ceiling/roof heights, window sill/head heights.
We will survey all accessible and visible sides of the property and provide elevation drawings showing the building outline, ridge/eaves heights, all external distinguishing elements such as windows, doors, rainwater pipes and other detailing. We will also include the outline of buildings within 3m of the host building.
Provided where our equipment has full visibility of the roof lines from ground level, we will note any estimated roof details on our drawings.
These are 'cut-through' cross-sectional drawings showing wall and floor details.
Select a topographical survey level to find out more.
Will include the visible boundary outline only together with immediate ground levels around any buildings, and visible drainage cover location/levels.
This topo will include the visible boundary outline, all key features and immediate ground levels within 3m of any buildings, and visible drainage cover location/levels.
Will include boundaries (including type and heights), building OUTLINES, adjoining buildings, trees, hardstanding, walls, fences, hedges, flowerbeds, kerblines, verges, manhole / service covers (including cover level), etc. plus all other visible salient features of the area.
We use Area data from your property's EPC certificate and the UK Ordnance Survey database to calculate your quote estimate. If there is not enough data in the UK database we cannot provide an instant quote, but one of our team will be able to provide a formal written quote by email within 48 working hours. If the database holds incorrect data on your property you will still be provided an estimate, but our fee is subject to change to suit the actual size of your property
