What is Scan to BIM

#scantoBIM #laserscan #pointcloud #as-built

Scan to BIM is a cutting-edge process that transforms real-world building structures into highly accurate 3D models. Using laser or lidar scanners to capture a point cloud, this data is then converted into a Building Information Model (BIM) or 2D with a Level of Detail - LOD 300-350, and a Level of Accuracy.

Person working on 3D model

Three simple steps for accurate as-builts, all in a matter of days.

  1. 1.Laser or Lidar Scan
  2. 2.Point Cloud registration
  3. 3.Point cloud to 2D or 3D

Who Benefits from Scan to BIM?

  • Building Owners - Get precise as-built models for renovations, asset management, and lifecycle planning.
  • Architects - Reduce fieldwork by accessing accurate spatial data, eliminating design errors caused by outdated drawings.
  • General Contractors - Minimize costly mistakes and improve construction coordination with detailed models.
  • Facilities Managers - Use data-rich models for maintenance planning and long-term operational insights.

Output

With Atory's Scan to BIM service, you'll receive:

✔️
3D BIM Model (LOD 300-350): Accurate geometry for walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors, MEP elements, and structural components.
✔️
2D Drawings: Floor plans, elevations, and sections for quick reference and documentation.
✔️
Deviation Reports: Identify discrepancies between the existing building and design documents.
✔️
File Formats: Autodesk Revit, DWG (AutoCAD), IFC, and other industry-standard formats to ensure compatibility with your tools.

Our models support collaborative design, construction planning, and long-term building management.
