Laser Scanning | Scan to BIM | As-builts

When existing facilities require redesign or precise as-built conditions, EDGILY offers a reliable team specializing in reality capture, including [Laser Scanning Services] and 2D/3D as-building. From 2D as-builts and read marks, we create detailed 2D drawings and BIM models. Leveraging our nationwide network of Laser Scanning technicians, we ensure accurate Revit models from captured point clouds.

3D Laser Scanning

As 3D facility scanning technology advances, EDGILY remains committed to providing clients with the latest scanning hardware and comprehensive expertise to support their needs.

Utilizing top-tier field scanning hardware from Trimble, Faro, and Leica, EDGILY ensures accurate point cloud measurements for any facility. With expertise in engineering software, we refine scans into finalized Autodesk Revit® or CAD files, offering utility beyond standard surveys. Our seamless integration of point cloud scanning with practical expertise allows customized solutions for each client, regardless of complexity.

Unlike others, our solution seamlessly site scans and produces fully compatible BIM files with accurate parametric metadata in the native BIM authoring platform.

Scan to BIM | Revit point cloud modeling services

Laser Scanning and Scan to BIM technology address a prevalent challenge in the construction industry: the absence of accurate as-built documents often leads to discrepancies and inaccuracies compared to the actual built environment. Traditional surveying methods are time-consuming and limited in capturing comprehensive information, unlike laser scanning technology, which generates millions of precise points to replicate the facility's geometry accurately. This technology provides a detailed digital representation of the site, capturing every detail visible to the human eye.

Although the Point Cloud deliverable is powerful, you may require a REVIT Model or 2D CAD As-Builts for various reasons. EDGILY can convert these Point Cloud files into detailed REVIT Models to meet your needs.

How does it work?

In the Scan to BIM process, millions of data points captured during a 3D laser scanning session on site are transformed into precise 3D Architectural and MEP BIM models. These models accurately depict the existing built environment, furnishing all necessary geometry and data essential for as-built, renovation, and documentation endeavors.

The EDGILY Scan to BIM team specializes in processing point clouds created by our scanning team or third-party firms conducting field Laser Scanning. We excel in producing Native REVIT models, serving various functions, including as a foundation for architectural/engineering redesigns and coordinating new construction trades with existing conditions. Additionally, we capture As-Built conditions for BIM models essential for operational functions such as Facilities Management (FM).

EDGILY utilizes third-party and proprietary plugins to optimize the modeling/tracing process, ensuring cost efficiency and high-quality results.

As-Built Modeling and Scan to FM

Often, existing facilities lack reliable As-Built Drawings and asset records, especially after multiple remodels or expansions. In these cases, Facility Engineers typically turn to EDGILY for Laser Scanning and Scan to BIM model creation, alongside 2D As-Built Drawings.

While having the as-built conditions captured and modeled serves as an invaluable foundation for future expansions, utilizing those models for daily operations requires a different solution than REVIT or Navisworks.

For construction projects or recently completed ones, EDGILY has devised an efficient process to capture all construction changes. We incorporate information from As-Built drawings and/or sub-contractor mark-ups into the BIM to generate accurate As-Built models.

During project close-out, General Contractors often face challenges when essential information is inaccessible or misplaced. To support contractors during this crucial stage, we construct the BIM and incorporate all building design data, cut-sheet data, field changes, and other necessary documentation for close-out purposes. The BIM serves as a single source of information and a centralized database. Furthermore, for future integration of a 6D Facility Management solution,EDGILY will seamlessly integrate all required metadata into the model for future use.
