🐱‍🏍 Scan to BIM Services

Transform Your Point Cloud Data Into Accurate, Construction-Ready Revit Models

We process any scanner format — Leica, FARO, Matterport, NavVis — and deliver Revit models at LOD 200–350. We serve US architecture firms, general contractors, MEP firms, and reality capture companies.

Who We Serve

We work with four types of US organizations that need scan data turned into accurate BIM models. There’s no better value for each of them.

✏️

Architecture Firms

  • Accurate existing conditions before renovation or addition work begins — no guessing at field dimensions
  • As-built Revit model integrated directly into your design workflow — no geometry rebuilding from scratch
  • Clash detection between existing conditions and new design before CDs are issued
🔨

General Contractors

  • As-built verification — confirm installed work matches design intent before the next trade moves in
  • Progress scan documentation tied to schedule milestones for owner reporting and payment applications
  • Clash certificates before costly construction changes — existing conditions vs new work identified early
⚙️

MEP Firms

  • Existing conditions MEP models for system coordination and retrofit design — accurate pipe, duct, and conduit routing
  • MEP as-built documentation for facilities management and commissioning records
  • Clash detection between existing MEP and proposed new systems before installation begins
📡

Reality Capture Companies

  • Reliable BIM modeling partner for your scan data — you capture, we model
  • Consistent LOD and deliverable standards across every project you send us
  • White-label delivery available — we work to your format, timeline, and quality standards

Our Scan to BIM Process

A straightforward six-step workflow from your first point cloud file to final model delivery.

📥

Scan Intake

You send us your point cloud files in any format — RCP, RCS, E57, PTX, or direct from Matterport, NavVis, or your scanner platform.

🔵

Point Cloud Registration

We register and clean your scan data in ReCap or Leica Cyclone — removing noise, aligning scans, and confirming accuracy before modeling begins.

🏗️

BIM Modeling

We build your Revit model to the agreed LOD — geometry, parametric families, metadata, and annotations structured for your downstream use.

Quality Control

Every model is QC'd against the original point cloud — dimensional accuracy verified to ±1/8". We include a deviation report with every as-built model.

Model Delivery

Delivered in RVT, NWD, IFC, or DWG — compatible with BIM 360, ACC, Procore, and Bluebeam for your project team.

Clash Detection (if required)

We run Navisworks clash detection against new design models and issue prioritized clash reports before construction begins.

⚠️

Clash Detection from Scan Data

Point cloud vs. design model conflict identification with prioritized clash reports

We compare your point cloud against design models to identify real-world conflicts between existing conditions and new work — and deliver prioritized clash reports your team can act on immediately.

What's Included:

  • Full clash detection between point cloud and new design or between existing and proposed MEP systems
  • Clash report with visual callouts, severity ratings (Critical / Major / Minor), and recommended resolutions
  • Updated Navisworks viewpoints for each clash — ready for coordination meetings
  • Re-run of clash detection after model updates to confirm resolution

Software & Formats:

Navisworks Revit BIM 360 BIM Collaborate

Delivered as:

NWD · BCF · PDF clash report

Why BIM Heroes for Scan to BIM

A structured five-step process emphasizing technical accuracy and interdisciplinary coordination.

"Will the accuracy be good enough for construction?"

Every model is QC'd against the original point cloud — dimensional accuracy verified to ±1/8". We include a deviation report with every as-built model.

"Will the Revit files work in our BIM 360 / ACC environment?"

Yes. All models are delivered in native RVT, structured for BIM 360 and ACC workflows. We can set up worksharing and folder structure to match your CDE before the first file is delivered.

"Can you handle large or complex point clouds?"

We've processed 500+ scans including large commercial, industrial, and healthcare facilities with complex MEP systems. Files over 50GB are handled through our phased registration workflow.

"What if we need a faster turnaround than 5–7 days?"

Rush turnaround is available for most project types — contact us with your deadline and we'll confirm availability within a few hours.
