Scan To BIM

Building Information Modeling (BIM) Survey:

 

BIM represents a digital rendition of a building or infrastructure project, integrating both geometric and non-geometric data. Conducting a BIM survey involves the utilisation of 3D laser scanning or traditional surveying techniques to capture precise measurements, resulting in a 3D model that accurately portrays the physical and functional aspects of a structure.

​

Collaborative Design and Construction:

BIM fosters collaboration among architects, engineers, contractors, and other project stakeholders. Through the creation of a shared digital model, BIM streamlines information exchange, coordination, and clash detection, ultimately reducing errors and enhancing project efficiency.

​

Clash Detection and Visualization:

​

IM models facilitate clash detection by overlaying various building elements, including structural components, mechanical systems, and electrical conduits. This allows potential clashes or conflicts to be identified and resolved digitally before the construction phase, minimising costly rework and conflicts during implementation.

​

Cost and Schedule Estimation:

​

BIM survey data proves invaluable for cost estimation and project scheduling. The detailed information captured in the BIM model supports accurate quantity take-offs, material estimation, and clash-free scheduling. This aids in project budgeting, procurement planning, and resource allocation.

​

Facility Management and Maintenance:

 

BIM models serve as valuable tools for facility management and maintenance across the building's lifecycle. The model contains comprehensive information about the building's components, equipment, and systems, facilitating better maintenance planning, asset management, and operations. This leads to improved efficiency, reduced downtime, and cost savings.

​

Sustainability and Energy Analysis:

​

BIM models can integrate energy analysis and simulation tools to evaluate and optimise a building's energy performance. Architects and engineers can assess different design options, predict energy consumption, and identify opportunities for energy efficiency improvements or the integration of renewable energy sources.
