Project Overview
Zoller Elementary School is an educational facility in Schenectady, New York, developed as part of a programme involving elementary schools ranging from 60,000 sq. ft. to 280,000 sq. ft. The project required an accurate digital representation of the existing building to support planning, documentation, and future development activities.
OneClick BIM developed a coordinated LOD 300 BIM model from point cloud data, enabling project stakeholders to obtain reliable building information while improving multidisciplinary coordination and documentation accuracy.
OneClick BIM's Scope
OneClick BIM was responsible for converting point cloud data into a coordinated BIM model of the existing school facility.
The project scope included:
• LOD 300 BIM Modelling
• Point Cloud to BIM Conversion
• Architectural Modelling
• Structural Modelling
• Existing Conditions Documentation
• Site Plan Development
• Coordinated BIM Model Development
The coordinated model served as a reliable digital reference for future planning and design activities.
Key Challenge
Developing an accurate BIM model from point cloud data required precise interpretation of existing building geometry while maintaining consistency between architectural and structural elements. The model needed to provide dependable documentation that could support future renovations, planning, and facility management.
OneClick BIM's Workflow
Point Cloud Assessment
The point cloud data was reviewed to establish modelling requirements and accurately capture the existing building conditions.
BIM Model Development
A coordinated LOD 300 BIM model was developed, integrating architectural and structural disciplines together with the immediate site plan.
Coordination Review
The model underwent quality assurance and coordination checks to verify geometric accuracy and consistency across all disciplines.
Model Validation
The completed BIM model was validated to ensure it provided reliable documentation for future project requirements.
Final BIM Delivery
OneClick BIM delivered a coordinated LOD 300 BIM model with an immediate site plan developed from point cloud data. The final deliverables provided accurate existing-condition documentation, supporting planning, design coordination, and long-term facility management.
