Scan to BIM Services

Scan to BIM (also written Scan2BIM) converts laser scan and point cloud data into a Revit model of an existing building. It is the workflow most teams mean when they search for point cloud to Revit services. Instead of relying on old drawings, your team designs against a model that reflects what is actually on site: walls, structure, ceilings, and building services as they exist today.

We work from registered point clouds in RCP, RCS, E57, and LAS or LAZ formats. Existing drawings, photos, and site notes help where you have them, but the registered point cloud is the only essential input.

Most renovation and retrofit design work is covered at LOD 300. LOD 350 is worth adding where your design must coordinate closely with existing elements and interfaces. LOD 200 suits early feasibility, and LOD 500 is for a facility record model. We confirm the right level in the scope review before production starts.

Every model is checked against the point cloud with deviation checks during production, and the agreed tolerance is confirmed in writing before modeling starts, based on your scan quality and what the model will be used for. The delivery includes a QA report against the point cloud.

No. We model from scans captured by your team or your reality-capture partner, which keeps one clear line of responsibility for capture quality. Before modeling, we review the registered point cloud and flag coverage gaps, so problems surface before they cost design time.

It depends on the building size, the LOD, and the number of disciplines in scope. After a free review of your point cloud, we confirm the timeline in writing before production starts. Large buildings can be delivered in phases, floor by floor or zone by zone.

Yes. We model in your Revit template, naming conventions, and worksets, or in ours if you prefer. We can also work inside your Autodesk Construction Cloud or BIM 360 project, and sign an NDA on request.

US providers typically charge $0.50 to $2.00 or more per square foot for scan to BIM on standard commercial buildings. Our pricing covers the modeling stage only, from your registered point cloud, and runs lower: from $0.15 per square foot at LOD 200, from $0.20 at LOD 300, and from $0.40 at LOD 350 and above, depending on building complexity and the disciplines in scope. Most projects are quoted as a fixed price after a free review of your scan data, confirmed in writing before production starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
