High-Accuracy Scan-to-BIM, Revit Modelling & Reality Capture Services
Deployed globally for complex projects
We deliver accurate, reliable Building Information Modelling (BIM) services underpinned by high-definition laser scanning and robust quality assurance processes. Our approach combines precise data capture with structured modelling workflows to provide dependable digital representations of existing assets.
Whether supporting design, coordination, refurbishment, or asset management, our BIM outputs are tailored to project requirements and aligned with industry standards.
Our multidisciplinary modelling capability ensures consistency across:
We scale model detail appropriately from primary elements through to fully coordinated services and detailed components, depending on project needs.
We produce BIM models of external environments, including:
This supports planning, design integration, and site coordination.
Our delivery follows a structured Scan-to-BIM workflow:
Establish survey control and coordinate systems to ensure accuracy and consistency.
Capture site conditions using high-density point cloud data and supporting imagery.
Process and register scan data, ensuring alignment, coverage, and quality.
Structured model creation in Revit to required LOD
Iternal QA checks and coordination
Revit Models, drawings, and data outputs.
Our BIM models are developed through a structured Scan to BIM workflow, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and usability at every stage.
We begin with high-quality survey data, from laser scanning, which is processed into a coordinated point cloud. This forms the geometric foundation of the model, ensuring all elements reflect real-world conditions.
From this dataset, our modellers:
Each model is then subjected to rigorous quality assurance checks, including validation against point cloud data, coordination reviews, and compliance with project requirements before issue.
This approach ensures every model is:
We work with clients to define clear, project-specific LOD requirements, which may vary across different elements of the same model.
For example:
For factories core structure may require LOD4 (high detail) for design and clash purposes. While equipment lines and machinery may only require LOD2 (generic detail) for spatial coordination.
This targeted approach ensures:
As outlined in our modelling standards, LOD can be defined by element, system, or project stage, ensuring models remain aligned to their purpose and avoid unnecessary complexity .
