3D BIM Modeling Services

Intelligent 3D BIM models provide architects, engineers, contractors, facility managers, and developers an accurate digital twin of buildings and infrastructure to collaborate on design, construction, and operations.

  • Access 3D digital representation of building infrastructure
  • Collaborate on design-build with a shared model
  • Improve workflows across design and construction processes
  • Reduce rework, clashes, and delays
  • Prefabricate building components
  • Utilize throughout a building’s lifecycle for maintenance and upgrades
3D BIM Modeling Services explained

BIM provides a virtual model for better decision-making and cost-savings.

3D laser scanning captures comprehensive site data in a LiDAR point cloud, which can be converted into accurate 3D BIM models. These models help project teams collaborate in a shared environment, identify issues early, and make informed decisions. Scan-to-BIM helps minimize miscommunication, errors, and rework, and ensure projects are completed on time and within budget.

Case Studies

Worcester Memorial Auditorium

The historic Worcester Memorial Auditorium and DBVW Architects selected Existing Conditions based on our experience and portfolio to complete a full 3D laser scan of the property. Located in Lincoln Square, this building was built in 1933 to commemorate the sacrifices of Worcester citizens during war times. To prepare for future renovations, Existing Conditions 3D laser scanned the interior and exterior of the building, which had been vacant for over 20 years. Existing Conditions utilized the Faro laser scanner for this project and documented over 100,000 square feet of space.

Southern Methodist University's Cox School of Business

Founded in 1920, Southern Methodist University's Cox School of Business is located in University Park, Texas. Our team 3D laser scanned and modeled three buildings totaling 157,000 square feet, providing the University with accurate as-built information for facilities management, space planning, and future renovations.

Independence Wharf

In preparation for renovations, the Architectural Firm Spagnolo Group Architecture (SGA) selected Existing Conditions to 3D laser scan Independence Wharf at 470 Atlantic Avenue, a bustling mixed-use office building encompassing approximately 335,000 square feet of space. Leveraging a combination of cutting-edge 3D laser scanning technologies, our expert team efficiently captured the building's as-built details, delivering a 3D Revit model, 2D CAD drawings, and drone survey, enabling our clients to begin their renovation endeavors with accurate data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Benefits of 3D Laser Scanning?

3D laser scanning captures millions of 3D data points per second for each scan location, providing incredibly rich data of a building or project site. Sites are captured in high detail the first time, eliminating disruption and the need for return visits. Datasets are dimensionally accurate, measurable and shareable, expediting project planning and execution. Accurate design plans are produced from the start expediting field work and reducing change orders, delays and costs. Communication is improved, teams can discuss plans while each has access to the same information, creating a more dynamic working environment.

What is Scan-to-BIM Used For?

Scan-to-BIM is a process that uses 3D laser scanning to create a building information model of a building or site. BIM models provide a comprehensive view of a building that can be used throughout its lifecycle – during the design phase, construction phase, and operation phase of the building. The BIM model can be used during the design and planning stages of a project from design changes to material selection, and cost estimation. During the construction phase, the model can be used to coordinate and manage different trades and ensure the building is constructed according to the design intent. During the operation phase, the model can be used to manage maintenance and repairs, track the performance of the building, and plan for future improvements.

How is CAD different from BIM?

CAD is technology and software designed to produce precise technical drawings —replacing manual hand-drawn and drafting techniques with a digital process. CAD is used in many fields, including architecture and engineering, to create accurate and efficient representations of sites.

BIM, or Building Information Modeling, is a process of visualizing a digital representation of a physical asset via the 3D model and includes richer levels of data, including information on materials and equipment. Architects, engineers, and construction managers can track and monitor a building through its entire lifecycle, from initial design to construction, operations, and maintenance. Project teams can collaborate, share information, and monitor project costs using BIM.
