Introduction: Renovation Projects Need Better Information, Not More Guesswork
Big size renovation and retrofit projects are very different from new building construction. Rather than starting from scratch, project teams need to work around unfamiliar circumstances, incomplete plans, undocumented changes, and legacy systems. Traditional workflows are mainly based on hypotheses, manual site inspections, and obsolete 2D drawings, which ultimately increase risk, lead to extensive rework, and cause cost overruns.
To solve this problem, the Scan to BIM concept has evolved as a crucial solution in the modern construction era. The Scan-to-BIM process transforms laser-scanned data into intelligent BIM models. Scan to BIM offers a strong digital foundation for design, coordination, and construction, particularly in challenging renovations, retrofit, and historic preservation.
In the current time and future, Scan to BIM is no longer a specialized service. It is established as a powerful weapon for large-scale renovation projects, allowing informed decisions, faster timelines, and moving forward confidently throughout the process.
What is Scan to BIM?
Scan to BIM is the process of evaluating the real-world measurements of a physical structure or building with the help of laser scanning devices, collecting point cloud data, and converting it into an intelligent 3D BIM model.
This process involves:
• 3D laser scanning of a building
• Point cloud data collection
• Convert point cloud data into BIM elements such as floors, walls, beams, HVAC systems, etc
• Delivery of an intelligent, coordinated BIM model aligned with project requirements
