Surveys and 3D scanning: your existing buildings as a BIM model
We survey your existing buildings with a laser distance meter or 3D scanner and turn them into a reliable Revit model, with 2D drawings ready for your renovation project.

The problem, the solution, the result
1The problem
As-built drawings are missing, wrong or out of date. Every error costs you rework on site.
2Our solution
An on-site survey, laser or 3D scan depending on the building, then a structured Revit model built from the point cloud.
3The result
A reliable basis to design, cost and submit your applications, delivered in your team’s formats.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which survey method do you use?
Depending on the size and complexity of the building: laser distance meter survey for simple structures, 3D scanner (point cloud) for complex buildings or technical installations.
What deliverables do you receive?
A Revit model (RVT) and/or IFC, plus plans, sections and elevations in PDF and DWG, as needed.
How long does it take?
Usually 1 to 3 weeks between the on-site survey and delivery, depending on the floor area and level of detail required.
