SCAN TO BIM

What is scan to BIM?

Scan to BIM is an advanced process that captures 3D data of existing structures or sites and converts it into intelligent Building Information Models (BIM). These models serve as digital twins, allowing architects, engineers, and construction professionals to plan, design, and manage infrastructure projects with unparalleled accuracy and efficiency.

We are excited that Conserve Solutions is expanding its expertise by launching Scan to BIM services specifically to meet US standard codes including NBIMS-US (National BIM Standard – United States), ISO 19650, AIA E202 & G202, CIC BIM Protocol, International Building Code (IBC), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Codes, National Electrical Code (NEC), ASHRAE 90.1. With our advanced laser scanning technology and expert BIM modeling, we can now offer highly accurate, data-rich 3D models that comply with US industry standards. This expansion allows us to support projects across the US, from new construction to renovations, ensuring precision in design, integration of architectural, structural, and MEP systems, and alignment with local building codes and regulations. Our Scan to BIM services will improve project workflows, enhance collaboration, and help avoid costly mistakes, providing clients with a complete and effective solution for their US-based building projects.

How does Scan to BIM work?

The Scan to BIM process converts the physical attributes of a building or site into a data-rich 3D model. This innovative method eliminates the need for traditional tools like tape measures, offering a far more precise and efficient approach to capturing spatial data. Scan to BIM is often compared to 3D photogrammetry and can be integrated with augmented reality (AR) to provide immersive experiences.

A laser scanner captures data by emitting laser beams, creating a point cloud representing the scanned environment. This data is then imported into BIM software to generate a 3D model, integrating architectural, structural, and MEP components. This process enhances project accuracy and efficiency, particularly for renovation and retrofitting projects, enabling faster decision-making, reducing errors, and improving collaboration across design and construction teams.

How Conserve can help

Conserve Solutions offers high-precision Scan to BIM services using advanced methodologies and technology. They validate scanner positions, process individual scans, and register them to create a unified point cloud model. This data is processed and combined using specific software to create a unified point cloud model. The model is then integrated into CAD, BIM, GIS applications and web platforms. Our digital survey total stations validate scanner positions for accurate point cloud modeling to ensure precise measurements. After that, laser scanners gather millions of surface points every second to record 360-degree data. The data is processed internally for future use after the scans are finished.

Data Collection

We use digital survey total stations to validate scanner positions in the areas to be captured. This ensures high precision, with point cloud modeling accuracy between 2mm and 5mm. Laser scanners capture 360-degree measurements, collecting millions of points per second. Once scanning is complete, the data is processed in-house.

Data Analysis

Then by using the processing software where all the individual scans are registered and connected to form your unique point cloud model which suits as an input into BIM applications

Data Processing

3D scanned data can be combined with CAD, GIS, and web data platforms, enabling engineers to make well-informed real-time decisions. The point cloud model’s integration with BIM allows you to complete the work quickly and accurately. The 3D point clouds will be converted into a comprehensive Building Information Model in native formats

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ's

Scan to BIM is a process that converts laser-scanned point cloud data from an existing building or site into a detailed 3D BIM model. This model accurately represents architectural, structural, and MEP elements for use in design, renovation, and facility management.

The process begins with laser scanning to capture precise spatial data, which is then processed into a point cloud. The point cloud is imported into BIM software to create a detailed 3D model that aligns with the physical structure’s specifications.

  • Renovation, restoration, and extension projects
  • As-built documentation for facility management
  • Clash detection and coordination
  • Digital twins for predictive maintenance
  • Construction planning and progress monitoring

We provide BIM models in Revit (RVT), IFC, DWG, PDF, and other formats compatible with CAD, BIM, and GIS platforms.

Laser scanning produces a point cloud, which is a dense collection of data points representing the scanned environment. This data is processed and converted into a detailed 3D BIM model.
