3D Building Modelling
Transform your space with Scan-to-BIM Technology
The Scan-to-BIM Revolution
Scan-to-BIM transforms reality capture into intelligent building models -eliminating weeks of manual work, while slashing documentation time and costs.
Traditional methods required extensive site visits and manual drafting by senior professionals. Scan-to-BIM captures accurate spatial data in hours and delivers design-ready models in days. Your team focuses on design innovation, not tedious measurements.
Why Scan-to-BIM?
70% faster: Complete reality capture in one visit, with BIM files delivered in 3-5 business days
50-70% cost savings: Eliminate manual measurements and reduce modelling hours dramatically
Millimeter accuracy: Precise point cloud data minimises design errors and field conflicts
One source of truth: Digital twins centralise project data for seamless stakeholder collaboration
3D BIM Options
3D BIM - Architecture
This foundational option provides generic models of existing conditions for interior building architecture, including:
Walls, floors, and ceilings with accurate dimensions
Doors, windows, and openings
Stairs, railings, and structural columns
Interior partitions and core elements
Typical Applications:
Office renovations, retail fit-outs, residential remodeling, space planning, and baseline documentation for any interior project.
3D BIM - Architecture & Furniture
Building upon the standard architecture package, this option adds non-architectural building elements to provide a more complete picture of the existing space:
Tables, desks, and seating arrangements
Cabinets and storage units
Kitchen appliances and fixtures
Wall-mounted equipment and shelving
Typical Applications:
Office space planning and reconfiguration, restaurant and hospitality design, educational facility planning, furniture procurement and layout verification, and tenant improvement projects where existing furnishings remain.
3D BIM - Architecture & MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing)
This option captures visible building systems that are critical for renovation and upgrade projects:
HVAC equipment and ductwork
Plumbing fixtures and piping systems
Electrical outlets, panels, and conduit
Mechanical equipment locations and configurations
Typical Applications:
Facility upgrades and system replacements, healthcare and laboratory renovations, data center documentation, industrial facility planning, and code compliance verification.
3D BIM - Architecture, Furniture & MEP
The complete package provides the most detailed representation of your space, combining all elements for a near one-to-one digital twin approximation:
All architectural elements
Complete MEP system documentation
Furniture and equipment inventory
Integrated building systems overview
Typical Applications:
Complex renovation projects, multi-phase building upgrades, facility management and operations planning, comprehensive asset documentation, and projects requiring detailed existing conditions across all building systems.
Complex 3D BIM (Specialized Industrial Applications)
Custom-tailored models designed specifically for engineering workflows in complex mechanical and manufacturing environments:
Detailed mechanical equipment modeling
Precise piping system configurations
Equipment sizing and spatial relationships
High-density component documentation
Typical Applications:
Plant rooms and mechanical spaces, manufacturing facilities, fulfillment and distribution centers, industrial processing facilities, and utility and infrastructure projects.
Other Modelling Types
-
Accurate measurements extracted directly from your 3D scan, covering room dimensions, ceiling heights, wall lengths, and spatial relationships throughout the building.
Ideal for space planning, lease documentation, dilapidations, and any project where verified measurements are needed without a return site visit.
Delivered as: PDF report, CSV, or Excel spreadsheet. -
AI-assisted schematic floor plans generated from your scan data, showing the accurate layout of each level in clean, presentation-ready format.
Commonly used for building handover documentation, PPM planning, estate management records, and tenant information packs.
Delivered as: PNG, PDF, or SVG. -
Human-modelled 2D drawings produced from your point cloud data, suitable for use in architectural and engineering workflows.
Used for planning applications, refurbishment projects, fire strategy documentation, and updating outdated or missing as-built records.
Delivered as: DWG or DXF. -
A dense dataset of millions of measured points capturing the precise geometry of your space, usable in most major CAD, BIM, and engineering software.
The foundation for any advanced modelling work — particularly useful for complex renovations, structural assessments, and MEP coordination.
Delivered as: E57 or RCP. -
A textured 3D surface model of your space, combining geometric accuracy with photorealistic visual data.
Used for rendering, virtual reality walkthroughs, heritage documentation, and integration into game engines or visualisation platforms.
Delivered as: OBJ or FBX.
Our Process
1. Qualify & Scoping
Assess project requirements and define the scope of your digital twin implementation. We identify key objectives, evaluate technical feasibility, and establish success criteria to ensure alignment with your business goals.
2. 3D Capture
Capture accurate spatial data using advanced scanning technologies. We collect comprehensive 3D measurements and visual information of your physical assets to create the foundation for your digital twin.
3. Setup & Manage
Build and configure your digital twin environment with processed data. We establish the digital infrastructure, integrate captured information, and set up management systems for ongoing oversight and control.
4. Integrate & Automate
Connect your digital twin with existing systems and workflows. We enable seamless data exchange, automate routine processes, and create intelligent connections that maximize operational efficiency and insights.
