We cover multidisciplinary BIM Solutions in Texas
Architectural Scan to BIM
We extract architectural elements from point cloud data and build accurate 3D Revit models. These elements include walls, slabs, ceilings, roofs, windows, doors, and staircases. The models are used for renovation planning, documentation, and design validation. We follow industry standards like AIA and deliver outputs in LOD 100 to LOD 500.
Structural Scan to BIM
We convert scan data into structural BIM models, including all primary and secondary load-bearing elements. We model columns, beams, foundations, trusses, slabs, joists, and bracings. These models are used for structural evaluation, retrofit designs, and steel detailing. Accuracy is maintained within ±5mm, ensuring reliable structural documentation.
MEP Scan to BIM
We extract MEP components from scan data to create detailed models. We model ductwork, pipes, cable trays, fire protection lines, HVAC systems, and other building services. This is especially useful for renovation, retrofitting, or coordination with new systems. Our models support clash detection and integration with Revit MEP and Navisworks.
What You Get with Our Scan to BIM Services
1. Precise 3D Models from Laser Scans
We convert point cloud data into Revit models that match the exact site conditions.
2. Point Cloud Processing
We handle formats like E57, RCP, LAS, and XYZ. Our team cleans, aligns, and registers scan data.
3. LOD-Based BIM Outputs
We deliver models in LOD 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500 based on your project requirement.
4. Scan to Revit Modeling
We trace building geometry such as walls, floors, beams, slabs, and ceilings directly from scan data.
5. Structural and MEP Element Modeling
We model pipes, ducts, conduits, cable trays, structural columns, and framing based on point cloud scans.
6. 2D Drawings from Scan-Based Models
Floor plans, sections, and elevations are generated directly from the Revit model for documentation.
7. Model Accuracy Validation
We verify model accuracy by comparing it to the original scan. Tolerances are typically within ±5mm.
8. Output Formats for BIM Use
Final deliverables include RVT, IFC, DWG, and NWC formats suitable for BIM coordination.
Our Scan to BIM Modeling Workflow in Texas
- We begin by understanding the project scope.
- Our team reviews building size, complexity, and access conditions.
- We define the Level of Detail (LOD) required — such as LOD 200, 300, or 400.
- We choose the right scanning equipment based on environment and accuracy goals.
- A scanning plan is created, including the scan positions and coverage strategy.
- After scanning, we process all raw scan files.
- Using tools like Leica Cyclone, FARO Scene, or ReCap Pro, we register the scans.
- Registration means combining multiple scan stations into one single, accurate model.
- We use reference targets, spheres, or natural features for alignment.
- The registered point cloud is checked for alignment errors and noise.
- We clean the point cloud by removing duplicate points, background noise, and irrelevant data.
- Non-essential elements like people, vehicles, or clutter are trimmed out.
- We crop the dataset to the required modeling boundary.
- The cleaned and optimized point cloud is then exported in formats like E57, RCP, or LAS.
- The cleaned point cloud is imported into Autodesk Revit.
- Our BIM experts model architectural, structural, and MEP elements directly from the scan.
- This includes walls, slabs, roofs, columns, beams, pipes, ducts, and equipment.
- We follow BIM standards (like AIA or UK BIM Level 2) and match required LOD.
- Typical accuracy is maintained within ±5mm from the real-world dimensions.
- We conduct a full QC review of the BIM model.
- Our team compares the model against the original point cloud to check alignment.
- We check dimensions, element placement, geometry accuracy, and completeness.
- Visual inspections, clash tests, and deviation analysis are performed.
- Corrections are made before final approval.
We deliver all project files in your requested formats:
- BIM Models: RVT, IFC, NWC
- 2D Drawings: DWG, PDF
- Point Cloud: RCP, E57, LAS
- Reports: Excel schedules, PDF summaries, QC reports
Files are organized and shared securely through cloud storage or file transfer platforms. We also provide model usage instructions if needed for your internal team.
