BIMforRenovation&Retrofit
TransformExistingStructuresintoIntelligent,Data-DrivenModelsforSmarterRenovations.
Renovation and retrofit projects are uniquely challenging due to unknowns hidden behind walls, above ceilings, and within decades of undocumented modifications. Our BIM for Renovation & Retrofit services use high-definition laser scanning to capture every detail of existing conditions, converting raw point cloud data into accurate, data-rich BIM models. This eliminates guesswork and provides a verified baseline for confident design and construction planning.
Achieve up to 99.9% dimensional accuracy and reduce project rework by identifying clashes before construction begins.
We deliver models in Autodesk Revit at Levels of Development (LOD) ranging from LOD 100 to LOD 500, tailored to your project's specific needs—whether for conceptual space planning, MEP coordination, or facility management. Our process ensures that every beam, duct, and pipe reflects reality, not assumptions.
Millimeter Accuracy
Capture existing conditions at ±1/16 inch (±2mm) precision.
Clash Elimination
Detect and resolve conflicts in the virtual model before construction.
Multi-Discipline
Architectural, structural, and MEP modeling from a single source of truth.
LOD 100 to 500
Flexible Levels of Development for any project phase.
SeamlessConversion:PointCloudto3DModel
Our conversion process begins with a 3D laser scan that produces a dense point cloud of millions of measurements. This raw data is then imported into Revit, where our modelers trace the geometry and create a parametric, intelligent BIM.
This leads to a smooth transformation of the messy point cloud into a well-defined digital twin. The model acts as a solid base for designing renovation work, clash detection, and construction scheduling, making sure that the new design matches the existing building.
As-Built Revit ModelPoint Cloud DataIntelligentAs-BuiltModelingforComplexAssets
Our intelligent modeling approach goes beyond simple geometry. We create "smart" BIM elements that carry data about their real-world counterparts. By federating architectural, structural, and MEP models, we provide a comprehensive view that highlights spatial relationships and potential conflicts.
This method is particularly beneficial for handling complex structures like hospitals and factories where there are certain restrictions that make detailed planning prior to the construction process essential. Using the federated approach, all involved parties, from the designers to the facility managers, have access to one source of information.
