How can 3D scanning for BIM reduce design and construction costs?
- Export your point cloud and easily share and work on it in Revit® and other BIM programs.
- Generate OBJ files and point clouds for as-built and construction documentation.
- Scan tight areas 10-15 times faster than with a typical Lidar scanner.
- Overlay a point cloud on a BIM model for verification.
- Take measurements in hard-to-reach areas such as pipes, trusses and floor beams.
How do we make a 3D scan?
Indicators after using the 3D Scan service:
According to a McKinsey&Company report, the use of 3D scanning technology can improve the accuracy of construction projects by up to 50%
A report by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) found that the use of 3D scanning technology can lead to cost savings of 5% in construction projects
A study by Dodge Data&Analytics found that using 3D scanning can increase the efficiency of construction projects by up to 70%.
Case study
3D scanning of a historical building in Walbrzych
3D scanning is an indispensable technology in the restoration process of historic architectural structures, offering a number of benefits to investors and restoration specialists. First and foremost, it enables the
The main goal was to provide the designer with a point cloud for further elaboration. Due to the complexity of the historic building, traditional measurement methods were not sufficient, as they often required several site visits and involved the client’s time. The point cloud provides a comprehensive and accurate representation of all the building’s dimensions with minimal time and client involvement.

The result of our work is that Ms. Ela, the owner of the building, practically did not have to take the time that would have been required for a traditional measurement of the building. In addition, Ms. Ela now has a souvenir in the form of a visualization of the building before the renovation. For the designer, too, this is an incredible convenience, as he can import the point cloud into CAD or BIM software and work on the actual dimensions, instead of relying on approximate values that often occur with traditional measurement.
3D scanning is becoming a revolutionary force shaping the future of the AEC industry. The ability to capture complex data quickly and efficiently is not just a technological advancement; it is a breakthrough in efficiency and innovation. In the near future, 3D scanning will revolutionize our approach to design, construction and spatial analysis, opening up new opportunities and propelling the AEC industry toward unparalleled precision and efficiency
