About VEC’s Scan to BIM Operations

The information obtained through 3D building scanning depends on the multitude of points generated by modern devices. These 3D point clouds capture the precise geometry of all the elements within the structure and create an accurate digital representation of what can be seen with human eyes. When these point clouds are used for scanning to BIM, they are transformed into precise models that accurately reflect the actual construction. That provides the necessary information for purposes such as documenting the existing conditions or planning renovations.

Although scan to BIM modeling services offer many pros, they are quite extensive and require expertise to be performed efficiently. Luckily, VEC has a professional team that understands the importance of accuracy and can convert point clouds into robust 3D models. Thanks to our meticulous attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality results, these models can be effectively utilized during the design and construction coordination process.
