What is Scan to BIM

#scantoBIM #laserscan #pointcloud #as-built

Scan to BIM is a cutting-edge process that transforms real-world building structures into highly accurate 3D models. This involves using laser or lidar scanners to capture a point cloud of a building, which is then converted into a Building Information Model (BIM) or 2D with a Level of Detail - LOD 300-350, and a Level of Accuracy.

Three simple steps for accurate as-builts, all in a matter of days.

  1. Laser or Lidar Scan

  2. Point Cloud registration

  3. Point cloud to 2D or 3D

Who Benefits from Scan to BIM?

πŸ”Ή Building Owners – Get precise as-built models for renovations, asset management, and lifecycle planning.
πŸ”Ή Architects – Reduce fieldwork by accessing accurate spatial data, eliminating design errors caused by outdated drawings.
πŸ”Ή General Contractors – Minimize costly mistakes and improve construction coordination with detailed models.
πŸ”Ή Facilities Managers – Use data-rich models for maintenance planning and long-term operational insights.

Output

With Atory’s Scan to BIM service, you'll receive:
βœ”οΈ 3D BIM Model (LOD 300-350): Accurate geometry for walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors, MEP elements, and structural components.
βœ”οΈ 2D Drawings: Floor plans, elevations, and sections for quick reference and documentation.
βœ”οΈ Deviation Reports: Identify discrepancies between the existing building and design documents.
βœ”οΈ File Formats: Autodesk Revit, DWG (AutoCAD), IFC, and other industry-standard formats to ensure compatibility with your tools.

Our models support collaborative design, construction planning, and long-term building management.
