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.
