Project 01 · Scan-to-BIM Switzerland

Existing Building Documentation

For this project in Switzerland, we collaborated with a renowned Swiss laser scanning contractor to transform high-quality point cloud data into accurate, construction-ready documentation.

Using E57 point cloud data and 360° panoramic imagery in LGSX format, we developed a detailed 3D model in Archicad and coordinated 2D drawings representing the building’s actual as-built conditions.

The project was essential for the structural design phase, as several modifications had been made to the original design. Our updated documentation provided a reliable representation of the building’s current geometry and new architectural configurations, enabling the design team to proceed with greater confidence and giving finishing contractors a consistent reference for coordination and execution.

From reality capture to reliable BIM documentation — delivering the accuracy and clarity needed to move complex projects forward.

Project 02 · Scan-to-BIM Italy

Existing Office Building

Scan-to-BIM documentation of an existing office building in Italy. Starting from point cloud data in E57 and LGSX formats, we modelled the building in Archicad at LOD 350.

From the 3D model we produced a complete set of 2D drawings in DWG format: five floor plans, a roof plan, three sections and four elevations.

One accurate Archicad model — 13 coordinated drawings generated from it.

Workflow

How we work

  1. 01

    Review

    We check registration and density, then agree scope, LOD and deliverables.

  2. 02

    Model in Archicad

    Walls, slabs, roofs, openings, stairs and details are modelled from the scan.

  3. 03

    Quality check

    The model is compared against the point cloud before delivery.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    PLN, IFC, DWG and PDF — organised and ready to use.
