You should request a lower density scan, such as 5mm to 10mm point spacing, for projects where you need to capture the general shape and layout of a building, like creating ... (Read more)
You can get two primary categories of deliverables from a raw 3D laser scan point cloud: a complete set of highly accurate 2D architectural drawings or a fully detailed 3D Building Information Model (BIM). The 2D drawings include floor plans, elevations, sections, and roof p... (Read more)
The total cost for Scan-to-BIM services in 2025 typically ranges from €5 to over €50 per square meter. The price depends on two distinct phases: the on-site 3D laser scanning and the back-office BIM modeling. Scanning costs are driven by the size, complexity, and accessibili... (Read more)
You should use a portable 3D scanner for quickly capturing small, complex, or hard-to-reach areas like mechanical rooms and individual objects. They are also ideal for frequent progress monitoring. You need a professional terrestrial laser scanner for large-scale projects th... (Read more)
The Scan to BIM process is a sophisticated workflow that transforms the physical world into a data-rich digital model. However, the success of this process hinges on the software used to interpret, manage, and model the vast datasets known as point clouds. As the AEC industr... (Read more)
Embarking on a renovation project for an existing building is often like navigating uncharted territory. Unlike new construction where designs start from a controlled digital environment, renovations contend with the ghosts of past construction methods, undocumented modifica... (Read more)
