Questions that come up
on every scope call.
What is scan to BIM?
Scan to BIM is the workflow of capturing existing building conditions with 3D laser scanners, producing a high-density point cloud, and converting that data into a Revit-ready BIM model. It replaces guesswork and outdated drawings with verified, millimeter-accurate geometry of what actually exists on site.
What level of detail will my model have?
Our standard output is a clean LOD 200 Revit model. That includes walls, columns, floors, roofs, doors, windows, and primary building systems accurately dimensioned from the point cloud. It's ready for space planning, renovation design, and test-fits. If your project needs more, we scale detail where it matters: modeled MEP runs for trade coordination, structural connections and bolts for retrofits, or architectural profiles and millwork for historic and high-finish work. We scope it with you.
How long does a scan-to-BIM project take?
Laser scanning, point cloud registration, and creating 3D models typically take 5 to 10 days for most projects. Complexity in both scope and project add additional time.
What does a scan-to-BIM project cost?
Pricing depends on square footage, site conditions, target level of detail, and modeled disciplines. We provide quotes against a defined scope with a quick turnaround.
What accuracy can I expect?
Our terrestrial scanners deliver ±1.9mm range accuracy on individual measurements. Registered point clouds typically achieve ±3-5mm cloud-to-cloud error across a full building. The final Revit model is dimensionally verified against the source point cloud, with standard modeling tolerance, tighter where specified.
What file formats do you deliver?
Point clouds in RCP (native Revit) and E57 (universal open standard). BIM models in Revit (.rvt) and IFC. 2D drawings in DWG and PDF. Other formats like NWD, LAS, LAZ, and PTS are available on request, just let us know what your workflow needs.
Do you work on occupied sites?
Yes. We regularly scan occupied offices and healthcare facilities. We offer after-hours and phased scanning to minimize disruption if requested.
Can your models be used for BIM coordination and clash detection?
Yes. Our Revit models are built as coordination-ready geometry. We don't run the coordination process ourselves, but our deliverables are shaped specifically so your coordinator or VDC team can pull them straight into Navisworks or Revit and run clash detection against design models without rework. Walls, structure, and MEP are modeled with verified tolerances so the clashes you find are real, not artifacts of loose scan data.
How does scan data help with BIM coordination?
BIM coordination starts from an accurate picture of existing conditions. If your base model is wrong, every clash is suspect. A dimensionally verified scan-to-BIM model gives coordination teams, architects, and trade contractors a trusted reference so clash detection in Revit or Navisworks surfaces real conflicts between new design and what's already built. Useful for retrofits, MEP-heavy work, and any project coordinating against existing structure.
