Scan To BIM

What is the Scan to BIM service?

Ensercan’s Scan to BIM service consists of transforming data obtained through laser scanning into detailed and accurate 3D BIM (Building Information Modeling) models.

This process begins with laser scanning of the existing site or building, generating a point cloud that accurately captures the current conditions of the site.

Once the scan data is collected, it is converted into a 3D BIM model that represents in detail all the characteristics of the scanned space. 

These 3D models are essential for various applications, such as planning and executing renovations, facility management, and documenting existing conditions.

Scan to BIM Services

  • 3D Laser Scanning : Uses 3D laser scanning technology to capture existing site or building conditions with high precision. This generates a point cloud that is converted into a detailed BIM model​​.
  • Modeling of Existing Conditions : Development of 3D models from laser scanning data and other survey techniques. These models can be used to validate existing models and accurately document current conditions.
  • Facilities Management : Integration of BIM models into facility management systems to facilitate long-term maintenance and operations. This includes managing data such as room sizes, HVAC information, maintenance cycles, and warranty conditions.

These services ensure that construction and renovation projects are completed with maximum precision and efficiency, reducing risks and costs while improving project coordination and planning.

Benefits of Scan to BIM

Accurate Documentation: 3D laser scanning captures current site conditions with exceptional accuracy, transforming this data into detailed BIM models. This ensures accurate and reliable documentation of existing space, essential for renovation and construction projects.

Better Planning and Coordination: Detailed 3D models make it easier to visualize and understand the project, allowing for better coordination between teams. This helps identify and resolve potential conflicts prior to construction, optimizing project planning and execution.

Reduced Errors and Costs: The precision of laser scanning significantly reduces errors in design and construction, minimizing the need for on-site rework and adjustments. This translates into reduced costs and greater efficiency in project time.

Efficiency in Facility Management: The generated BIM models can be integrated into facility management systems, facilitating long-term maintenance and operations. This includes detailed information on building components such as room sizes, HVAC systems and maintenance cycles, improving operational efficiency and reducing long-term costs.
