Convert existing spaces into intelligent BIM models.
The NxtGen converts point-cloud, laser-scan and survey information into structured BIM models that can support renovation, redevelopment, coordination and existing-condition documentation.
Create a digital representation of the built environment.
Existing buildings often lack accurate, coordinated or up-to-date digital documentation. Scan to BIM workflows help convert available survey or point-cloud information into usable BIM models.
These models can support renovation planning, retrofit projects, facility documentation, coordination and other project requirements where understanding existing conditions is important.
From captured conditions to structured digital information.
The exact workflow depends on the available survey information, required disciplines, project scope and intended model use.
Receive Data
Review point-cloud, scan, drawings, survey information and project requirements.
Prepare
Organize available scan information and establish project coordinates.
Model
Develop relevant architectural, structural or MEP BIM elements.
Review
Check model geometry against the available reference information.
Deliver
Issue agreed BIM models, drawings and documentation.
Scan to BIM for existing and changing environments.
Existing-condition BIM models can support multiple project stages and building types.
Renovation
Create existing-condition models to support renovation and refurbishment planning.
Retrofit
Support building-system upgrades and retrofit coordination using digital models.
As-Built Documentation
Create structured documentation representing available existing conditions.
Facility Planning
Support planning and review through digital building information.
Heritage & Existing Buildings
Digitally document complex existing architectural environments.
Coordination
Use existing-condition models as a reference for new design coordination.
Transform physical conditions into usable digital information.
Scan to BIM connects captured site information with a structured digital model that can support project teams throughout further design and coordination.
Physical Environment
Survey and point-cloud information captures available existing conditions.
Structured Digital Model
Relevant project information is developed into a usable BIM environment.
Outputs aligned with your project requirements.
Scan to BIM deliverables depend on the supplied information and agreed project scope.
BIM Models
Structured architectural, structural or MEP models where required.
Existing Condition Drawings
Drawing outputs generated from the developed BIM model.
As-Built Models
Digital models reflecting available verified project information.
Coordination Base
Existing-condition information supporting future design coordination.
Better information for existing buildings.
Digital existing-condition models can provide project teams with a more structured foundation for planning, coordination and documentation.
Digital Reference
Create a structured model from available site information.
Better Planning
Support renovation and retrofit planning with digital context.
Improved Coordination
Coordinate new systems against existing building conditions.
Structured Documentation
Maintain available existing information within a BIM environment.
Digital workflows for scan-based modeling.
Software and workflows can be selected according to source data, required deliverables and client project standards.
