Scan to BIM & Point Cloud to Revit Services
Turn measured point-cloud data into a model your team can use.
Architects, surveyors and owners search for this work as Scan to BIM, point cloud to BIM, laser scan to Revit or as-built BIM modeling.
01 / Why this matters
The model is not a picture. It is measured project information that must remain traceable to the survey data.
Defined reviews
Camera, geometry and atmosphere are approved at clear milestones.
Visible revisions
Included revision rounds and change boundaries are written into the proposal.
Useful handover
Resolution, crops, source formats and delivery channels are agreed before production.
Accuracy becomes useful when it is defined.
Registered point-cloud data, survey notes and the project coordinate basis.
Modeled categories, exclusions, detail and acceptance method are agreed before production.
Critical geometry is reviewed against the registered reference rather than judged visually.
Native and exported deliverables are listed in the proposal with version and naming requirements.
01
What you can send
Registered RCP, RCS, E57 or other agreed point-cloud data, together with survey notes, project coordinates, required disciplines and your Revit template or BIM execution requirements.
02
What we define first
The modeled scope, target LOD, tolerance, coordinate system, required families, file version and acceptance checks are written before production so accuracy has a measurable meaning.
03
What you receive
A clean native Revit model, agreed CAD or PDF outputs and an organized handover suitable for renovation design, retrofit coordination, record documentation or facilities planning.

03 / Direct answers
Questions clients ask before starting.
01What is Scan to BIM?+
Scan to BIM is the process of interpreting registered point-cloud survey data and building a structured digital model of the existing asset. The required discipline, tolerance, LOD and model purpose should be agreed before modeling begins.
02Which point-cloud formats can you use?+
Common inputs include registered RCP, RCS and E57 files. Compatibility, coordinates, registration quality and available survey notes are checked before the production scope is confirmed.
03How accurate is a point-cloud-to-Revit model?+
Accuracy depends on scan coverage, registration quality, occlusion, the agreed tolerance and what must be interpreted rather than directly observed. The proposal should define measurable acceptance criteria instead of promising a universal accuracy figure.
04What can a Scan-to-BIM model be used for?+
Typical uses include renovation and retrofit design, existing-condition documentation, multidisciplinary coordination, space planning and facilities records. Its intended use determines the necessary content and detail.
