Scan to BIM — Point Cloud to Revit

We convert raw 3D scan data into accurate, usable Revit models — a reliable digital twin of an existing structure for design, coordination and retrofit.

What’s included

Our scan to bim services cover everything needed to deliver accurate, coordinated information on time. All work is carried out by experienced professionals using industry-standard tools.

  • Point cloud to Revit modelling
  • MEP, architectural & structural models
  • LOD 200–400 to specification
  • ISO 19650 compliant workflows
  • ReCap & Revit pipelines
  • Clash avoidance for retrofit
  • As-built BIM for handover
  • Multi-discipline coordination

Scan to BIM Revit model from point cloud

What is Scan to BIM?

Scan to BIM is the process of converting 3D laser scan data (a point cloud) into an accurate Building Information Model. Rather than modelling a building from drawings that may no longer reflect as-built conditions, Scan to BIM produces a model that reflects what is actually there — every wall, duct, pipe, beam and structural element as surveyed.

This is particularly valuable for M&E retrofit, building renovation and extension projects, where coordination against the existing structure is essential to avoid clashes during installation. It is also used to create as-built BIM models for facilities management and digital handover.

Our Scan to BIM process

We receive your point cloud data (or carry out the scan ourselves) and process it in Autodesk ReCap Pro. The registered point cloud is loaded into Revit, and we model from it to your specified level of detail (LOD 200, 300 or 400) and agreed scope — whether that is MEP services only, full architectural and structural, or a specific discipline package.

Deliverables are issued as Revit model files (RVT), ready for use in your project environment. Models are built to your project naming conventions, BEP requirements and drawing standards. All Scan to BIM work is fixed-price from a clear scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

What level of detail (LOD) do you model to?
We model to your specified LOD — typically LOD 200 for spatial coordination, LOD 300 for detailed design and LOD 400 for fabrication-ready information. LOD is agreed at the outset and drives the scope and price.
Do you carry out the scanning as well?
Yes. We offer a combined scanning and Scan to BIM service, or we can work from point cloud data you already have. Data should be supplied in E57, RCS or RCP format for processing in ReCap Pro.
What building types is Scan to BIM suitable for?
Scan to BIM is used across all building types — commercial offices, residential, healthcare, education, heritage and industrial. It is particularly valuable on refurbishment and retrofit projects where existing drawings are absent, inaccurate or out of date.
How accurate is the resulting Revit model?
Model accuracy is directly related to the accuracy of the source scan data and the agreed LOD. At LOD 300, elements are modelled to within a few millimetres of the point cloud. We document our modelling approach and any areas of uncertainty in a model notes sheet issued with the deliverable.
