Scan to BIM is a process that involves capturing the existing conditions of a building or site using 3D laser scanning technology and converting the scanned data into a detailed Building Information Model (BIM). This process is crucial for renovation, retrofit, and restoration projects, as it provides accurate and comprehensive information about the current state of a structure.

High Accuracy: Laser scanners capture millions of data points (point clouds) with high precision, detailing the geometry and spatial relationships of the building or site.
Rapid Data Collection: Scanning can be performed quickly, minimizing disruption to the building occupants or ongoing operations.
Comprehensive Data: The point cloud data represents the surface of all visible elements within the scan area, including walls, floors, ceilings, structural elements, MEP systems, and external features.
Visualization: Point clouds can be visualized in various software platforms, allowing stakeholders to explore the existing conditions in 3D before conversion to BIM.
Modeling from Point Clouds: Specialized software is used to convert point cloud data into a detailed BIM model. This involves tracing and modeling architectural, structural, and MEP elements.
Accuracy and Detail: The resulting BIM model accurately reflects the as-built conditions, including all dimensions, geometries, and spatial relationships captured by the scan.
Overlay and Comparison: Scan-to-BIM models can be overlaid with design models to compare planned designs with actual conditions, identifying discrepancies and planning necessary adjustments.
Renovation and Retrofit: Provides a reliable basis for planning renovations or retrofits, ensuring that new designs fit within the existing structure.
Facility Management: Provides facility managers with accurate as-built models for maintenance, space planning, and asset management.
Historic Preservation: Captures detailed records of historic buildings, aiding in preservation and restoration efforts.
Construction Verification: Validates the accuracy of construction work by comparing the as-built conditions to the design models.
Letzbim has expertise in generating high quality rendered outputs from BIM models which can be used for making financial decisions as well as for marketing purposes. These renders are created through engineered models which are based on the design inputs and therefore are much more accurate than any artist's representation.
Letzbim specializes in providing Virtual reality and augmented reality solutions through the BIM model where the mode can be used as an effective tool to navigate around the building, feel it in real scale using new age tools like oculus rift and freeze design options based on these navigable models.
The real time rendering outputs given by Letzbim are a great help in taking design decisions, for example the interiors of any rooms including the finishes and materials. Clients can take decide which flooring and wallpaper to choose in their living room by putting them on the model and seeing them in real time along with cost implications.
Letzbim has become one of the leading BIM solutions companies because of its innovative approach, OEM partnerships, and Customer-centric approach that never compromises on Quality.
