Digital Scanning Group converts point cloud data into fully coordinated Revit BIM models. LOD 200 to LOD 500, every model checked against the point cloud. Serving architects, contractors and facilities managers across London and the UK.
Scan to BIM is the process of converting 3D laser scan data (point clouds) into an intelligent Building Information Model (BIM). The point cloud provides accurate spatial measurements, and our modellers use this data to create a Revit model that represents the building's geometry, structure and services with the level of detail required for your project.
The appropriate Level of Development depends on your project requirements. LOD 200 is suitable for feasibility studies, LOD 300 for design development and planning, LOD 400 for construction documentation, and LOD 500 for as-built records. Most renovation and refurbishment projects require LOD 300. We can advise on the right level for your specific needs.
Timescales depend on the size and complexity of the building and the LOD required. A typical LOD 300 model of a single-storey commercial space can be completed within 5-7 working days after receiving the point cloud data. Larger or more complex projects are quoted individually with agreed milestones.
We deliver native Revit (.rvt) files as standard, along with IFC exports for open BIM collaboration. We can also provide DWG, PDF and NWC formats as required. All models include a detailed model production and delivery table documenting the elements modelled and the LOD achieved.
Our Scan to BIM service includes the point cloud survey as part of the package. We handle everything from the initial site scan through to the completed Revit model. If you already have point cloud data from a previous survey, we can work from your existing dataset — just share the files and we will assess their suitability for modelling.
Every model is overlaid on the registered point cloud and checked element by element. We run a deviation analysis that flags any modelled surface more than the agreed tolerance from the scan, typically 10 to 20mm at LOD 300, and record the results in a model production and delivery table issued with the model.
Scan to BIM starts from £2,500 for a small building, with the price driven by floor area, the LOD required and whether structural and MEP elements are included as well as architecture. We provide a fixed price from a plan or a site visit. See our pricing page for guide rates.
Yes. If a previous survey produced a registered point cloud in RCP, E57 or LAS format we can assess it and model from it, provided the coverage and accuracy are sufficient for the LOD you need. We tell you before starting if any areas need re-scanning.
