Point Cloud Modeling Services by CAD Drafters
CAD Drafters is a company dedicated to providing the highest level of , which converts raw laser scan data into highly accurate and coordinated BIM Models. Whether it be a renovation, retrofit, or facility management, these models provide an accurate digital version of the existing conditions. With experience in architecture, structure, and MEPFP systems, we help architects, engineers, surveyors, and contractors minimize errors and achieve fit outs without the additional and costly rework.
Architectural Point Cloud Modeling
We develop precise as-built models of architectural components such as walls, doors, windows, roofs, floors, and finishes directly from scan data. The models are used for validating designs, visualization, and renovation plans.
Structural Point Cloud Modeling
Our staff converts scan data into structural BIM models, accurately documenting beams, columns, trusses, slabs, and foundations. The models provide a reliable reference for retrofits, rebuilding or structure assessments.
MEPFP Point Cloud Modeling
We deliver information-reach models of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEPFP) systems such as ductwork, piping, conduits, panels, and sprinklers as independent models to ensure seamless coordination with other trades.
As-Built BIM Models
By utilizing point cloud scans of the building, we can produce accurate as-built BIM models of the existing building conditions. These models will become the basis for renovation, refurbishment, or facility management projects.
Clash Detection & Coordination
With our advanced clash detection methods using Navisworks, we can identify and resolve conflicts between architectural, structural, and MEP systems in the early design stages, saving time, energy and avoiding expensive rework.
Facility Management Models
Our use of point cloud models extends beyond the construction phase and provides facility managers with accurate as-built digital twins that support maintenance, operations, and lifecycle planning.
2D CAD Drawings from Point Cloud
We produce detailed 2D CAD drawings (.dwg) from the point cloud data which includes detailed floor plans, elevations, and sections, excellent for documentation, permitting, and approvals.
Renovation & Retrofit Modeling
For refurbishment and retrofit projects, we can use 2D laser scans to provide models that capture the existing conditions – this allows for better planning and leads to more certainty when it is time to build.
Heritage & Historical Building Modeling
We have a specialty in modeling heritage and historic buildings from scanned data, capturing valuable, intricate details for preservation, restoration, and digital archiving purposes.
Infrastructure Point Cloud Modeling
While we mainly practice modeling existing buildings, we also provide modeling from point cloud data for infrastructure, roads, bridges, tunnels, and utilities, representing the work done by large public civil infrastructures.
Scan-to-Fabrication Models
We produce fabrication-ready BIM models derived from point cloud data, which means contractors and manufacturers can build prefabrication with confidence and accuracy.
Tailored LOD-Based Modeling
We provide models at multiple Levels of Detail (LOD 100–500), which can be for early concept design, detailed coordination, or very detailed construction documentation for your project.

Our Workflow for Point Cloud Modeling Services
At CAD Drafters, we use a systematic process that transitions your point cloud data into reliable, accurate, and usable BIM models or CAD Drawings. Our methodology minimizes errors, improves coordination, and ensures consistent quality and explosion of information with any project we produce.
Data Processing & Model Setup
We then bring your point cloud or laser scan data in .rcp, .rcs, .e57 or .fls into industry-standard platforms such as Revit and AutoCAD. Once we process your data, our team will set levels, grids, and reference points for accuracy and consistency through the modeling process. This is an invaluable step to ensure a solid foundation for as-built modeling.
Modeling, Quality Checks & Deliverables
Next, we will model the architectural, structural and MEPFP elements from the point data using the required Level of Detail (LOD). Various quality checks on each model will be undertaken, including clash detection and a constructability review to ensure accuracy and coordination of information. Finally, our information is delivered in BIM models (.rvt) and/or 2D CAD drawings (.dwg) with dimensions, annotations, and layering - ready for planning, approvals or execution of the project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is point cloud modeling, and why is it necessary?
Point cloud modeling takes laser scan data and turns it into an accurate 3D BIM or 2D CAD model. This allows for as-built conditions to be captured accurately, which in turn will assist with design validation, renovation, coordination, and facility management.
What formats of files can you work with?
We work with a large variety of scan format,s including .rcp, .rcs, .e57, .fls, .pcg, and .obj, and we will convert these into Revit (.rvt) and CAD (.dwg) deliverables.
What industries do you service with point cloud modeling?
We service architects, engineers, contractors, surveyors, and facility managers in the health care sector, commercial, residential, industrial, hospitality, and infrastructure fields.
