Scan to BIM services
With CAD Drafters Scan to BIM services, you receive very accurate, detail-oriented as-built models converted from your scanned data or point clouds no matter if it is at LOD 100–500 for renovations, refurbishments, and redevelopment projects. We support contract owners, owners, and AEC professionals in transforming raw site conditions into intelligent 3D BIM Models that encompass every architectural, structural, or MEP item.
Whether it’s a heritage restoration or a multi-floor commercial site, CAD Drafters’ Scan to BIM services help you confirm existing site conditions, reconcile variations, and plan your next move with complete confidence – all while reducing errors, shortening approvals, and ultimately saving rework costs.
Reliable As-Built Models
We provide fully detailed and clash-free as-built BIM Models directly from point clouds, ensuring accurate documentation of existing conditions for renovations, retrofits, and facility management.
Quick Turnaround & Cost Savings
We cannot eliminate change, but we can help you manage the risks of change by ensuring scans are sent to BIM promptly, reducing project delays, eliminating expensive site rework, and increasing project margin.
Flexible LOD & Format Options
We build each model to project specifications, ranging from LOD 100 to LOD 500, all delivered with fully coordinated architectural, structural, and MEP details in standard BIM or CAD Model formats.

Accurate Scan to BIM services to support upgrades and renovations
CAD Drafters provides scan-to-BIM services to architects, engineers, contractors, and facilities managers. Our scan-to-BIM services transform existing conditions into exact, intelligent, 3D models. We take raw point cloud data, laser scans, and as-built documents, and convert them to parameterised BIM models that consider all architectural, structural, and MEP systems. If you plan to renovate, refurbish, extend, or restore a heritage building, a scan-to-BIM service will enable you to make informed project decisions with confidence and achieve cost-effectiveness.
Full Scan to BIM Modelling
CAD Drafters take point cloud scans and create an accurate and detailed BIM model that reflects the as-built conditions of your building. CAD Drafters include all architectural, structural, and MEP in the BIM model. This information is beneficial for the planning, coordination, or maintenance of the facility.
Point Cloud CAD Drawings
We will convert your laser scan or point cloud data to accurate 2D CAD drawings that include floor plans, sections, and elevations. These are editable files that can be utilised for design development, permit submissions, or construction drawings.
Scan to Revit Family Creation
We can take the scanned data we’ve collected and create Revit families for doors, windows, mechanical units, and other elements. Your model will be innovative, parametric, and can be used indefinitely.
Scan to Mesh Modelling
As a service, we can transform raw point cloud data into polygonal mesh models. This is particularly useful for modelling highly detailed surfaces, complex facades, heritage projects, and highly intricate architectural details.
Architectural As-Built Modelling
We can build full architectural as-built BIM models using your scan data. This will capture not only the geometry of walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs, but also doors and windows, and is critical to ensure that renovations are carried out with reliable information.
Structural Model As-Built BIM
We recreate all structural systems (columns, beams, trusses, slabs, and foundations) using the scanned data. This work can provide information for structural analysis, retrofits, and an accurate assessment of loads.
MEP as-built modelling
We create intelligent MEP BIM models that accurately represent the existing HVAC, plumbing, lighting, electrical and fire protection systems. This type of model can provide seamless coordination when upgrading or replacing existing systems.
Heritage and Historic Scan to BIM
In the case of historic preservation, we develop representative historic BIM models that document the complex details of architecture, ornament, and structure. It represents the work carefully and thoroughly, made available to satisfy conservation plans and approach temporality under their restoration.
Clash Detection and Coordination
Once your scan data is processed and converted, we perform advanced clash detection in the BIM model to recognise any conflicts between existing conditions and your new designs, which minimises clash-based rework on site and saves time.
Quantity take-off and BOQ
All our Scan to BIM models provide precise quantity take-offs and Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for renovations and retrofits. Accurate data can always help contractors plan for their material procurement and ultimately control costs in their projects.
4D Scheduling
Considering these methods, we can integrate your operational scan with your BIM model, aligning it with your direct project timelines and adding yet another dimension to your as-built data. This allows owners to plan their phased renovations, plan site logistics, also to manage and track progress.
Models are Operations/Fitness Facility Management ready
In addition to construction, our as-built BIM models provide constructors and facilities management with data-rich, intelligent models that include the appropriate data set for operation, asset management, and maintenance beyond the construction phase.
