What We Do
Our Point Cloud Modelers import the Scanned Point Cloud Data into tools like Autodesk Revit for creating information rich 3D Models. These digital twins can be used for Design Validation, Progress Monitoring, As-Built Documentation, Demolition & Renovation Planning, Quantity Takeoff, Budget Estimation etc.
We provide Scan to BIM services for industries like oil & gas, bridges, tunnels, metro stations, historical buildings, commercial & residential buildings etc.
Our Scan to BIM Services
Point Cloud to Architectural Models
Create 3d Revit models for floors, roof, ceilings, curtain wall, windows, furniture etc.
Point Cloud to MEP Models
Create 3d Revit models for ducts, pipes, cable trays, mechanical and electrical equipment, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures etc.
Point Cloud to Structural Models
Create 3d Revit models for columns, beams, steel supports, base plates, stairs, balustrades etc.
Point Cloud to Infrastructure Models
Create 3d Revit models for earthwork, landscape, bridges, industrial plants etc.
What We Deliver
We have expertise team who are capable of working in projects ranging from industrial to small scale residential projects, and on projects where the scan data is of low quality and in cases where scan files exceeds more than 100 GB. Our teams has got the engineering mindset and know-how of the construction methods makes it possible to restructure missing details based on assumptions or from reference images.
Our Point Cloud Modeling deliverables include the following:
- 3D Model developed based on the required LOD
- 2D Plans, Sections & Elevations
- Site Layout Plans
- Link Asset Information to the As-built Model
Convert Point Cloud to 3D Revit Models with +/- 10 mm accuracy
Scan to BIM Use Cases
- New Construction
- Renovation and Retrofit Projects
- Historical Monuments Restoration Projects
- Building Performance Analysis
- Facility Management
We have worked with Point Cloud inputs from different laser scanners, including Trimble, Leica Geosystems, Faro, Matterport and Reigl scanners, to develop information rich 3d Revit Models (*.rvt). We are familiar with the conversion of *.fls, e57, *.pcg, *.obj, *.laz, *.rcs and *.ptg file types into a Revit-ready format.
Our team is proficient in developing 3d models of scanned data received from Aerial Scanners using Drones, historical monuments restoration and, infrastructure projects etc.

Benefits of Point Cloud to BIM
Using BIM process allows the survey data to be transformed into 3D models in the real world. The 3D models have significant advantages at every step of a construction project, starting from the initial concept to the final handing over stage.
- Better Visualization
- Increased productivity by reducing errors
- Accurate As-Built Survey Data when compared to manual red markup’s
- Designers can integrate designs into existing built environment
- Better understanding of Planned Vs Actual Scenarios
Our Capabilities
Better Quality Assurance
The Point Cloud Data generated from Laser Scan can be used to compare the planned schedule and project progress without even undergoing a site inspection.
Better Building Analysis
Availability of the Digital Twins of existing model brings the capability to conduct various analysis. The underlying problems which cannot be seen through a naked eye can be easily identified from a digital model.
Better Planning
Adopting a Scan to BIM Workflow can minimize errors when planning for extensions or renovation due to the availability of the existing building structure in the digital format.
Better Cost Control
The use of Scan to BIM methodology can reduce the surveying cost when compared to traditional methods. It’s considered as the most efficient and time saving method in delivering the As-built documentation.
FAQ - Point Cloud Modeling
Scan to BIM or Point Cloud to BIM can be referred to as the process of converting point cloud data from a laser scanner to a 3d digital model to be used for design, progress monitoring, retrofit, asset management etc.
We use Autodesk Revit Software for developing 3d geometrical models from point cloud data. We are also familiar with tools like Cloud Compare, Autodesk Recap etc. to convert point cloud input file format received from various laser scanners to a Revit compatibility format.
