📌 Introduction

In today’s fast-paced AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry, accurate and up-to-date building data is crucial for successful project execution, renovation, and facility management. This is where Scan to BIM comes into play—bridging the physical world with intelligent digital models.

At AEC Digital Solutions, we specialize in providing top-tier Scan to BIM services that empower architects, engineers, developers, and facility managers to work smarter and more efficiently.


🏗️ What is Scan to BIM?

Scan to BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the process of using 3D laser scanning technology to capture the exact geometry of a physical space and convert it into a digital BIM model. This digital model can then be used for design planning, renovation, structural analysis, clash detection, and facilities management.


🎯 Why Choose AEC Digital Solutions for Scan to BIM?

At AEC Digital Solutions, we go beyond just converting point clouds to 3D models—we deliver precision, clarity, and value at every stage. Here’s how we help:

✅ 1. Accurate As-Built Models

We scan your existing structures and create highly detailed as-built models, capturing every architectural, structural, and MEP element with precision.

✅ 2. Advanced Technology

Using cutting-edge LiDAR and 3D laser scanning equipment, we generate point clouds that are seamlessly processed into rich, data-driven BIM models.

✅ 3. Use Cases We Support

  • Renovation and retrofitting projects

  • Facility and asset management

  • Clash detection and coordination

  • Heritage preservation

  • Industrial plant modeling

✅ 4. Customization for Every Client

Whether you’re a developer, architect, or contractor, our team tailors the Scan to BIM workflow to your project’s unique needs—ensuring timely and cost-effective delivery.
