Bim digitization
We turn your installation into a smart model
We transform the point cloud into a coordinated BIM model.
With precise geometry, data on each element and ready for engineering, construction or asset management.
What is BIM digitization and how it differs from a simple 3D model
BIM digitization is the process of building an intelligent model of the building or facility where each element has geometry, technical data and relationships with other elements. It is not a 3D model: it is a geometric and technical database of the asset that can be used directly by engineering, construction and maintenance teams.
The difference compared to a conventional 3D model is the information linked to each element. In a BIM digitization model, a pipe is not just a cylindrical shape: it is an object with nominal diameter, material, working pressure, system to which it belongs, name of the corresponding isometry and reference to its maintenance sheet. That information is what makes the BIM model useful far beyond the work.
Do any of these situations sound familiar to you?
You have plans from 15 years ago and no one knows if they reflect what is there now.
Each discipline works on its model and no one has ever coordinated them.
The customer orders deliverables in IFC LOD 300 and you don't know exactly what it includes.
BIM modeling: what exactly do you receive
BIM modeling transforms the point cloud into an intelligent model where each element has geometry, technical data and relationships with other elements. It is not just a 3D model: it is a database of the building or facility.
We deliver the model in the format you need —Revit, IFC, ArchiCAD— with the agreed LOD development level according to the use you are going to give it. If it is for renovation engineering, you need a different LOD than what you need for maintenance management.
The process always includes a joint review session before final delivery. If there are discrepancies between the point cloud and the model, we resolve them before they reach your project.
Frequently asked questions
If your question is not here, write to us. We respond in less than 24 hours.
ContactYeah. If you have CAD plans, PDF documentation or any type of technical documentation of the building, we can use it as a basis. In many projects we combine several sources: the point cloud for the current geometry and existing plans for the technical data of the systems.
When the existing documentation has inaccuracies or is outdated —common in buildings with renovations— we indicate this in the modeling report so that your team takes it into account.
It depends on the use you are going to give the model. For coordination and clash detection in the design phase, an LOD 300 is usually sufficient. For manufacturing and assembly of industrial elements, LOD 400 may be required. For maintenance management and facility management, the LOD 500 as-built is the one that makes sense.
In the initial conversation we recommend the LOD that fits what you need. Modeling more than necessary has an unnecessary cost; Modeling less may not serve its intended use.
It depends on the scope you define. The basic model includes geometry and technical properties of the elements. If it is going to be used for maintenance management, we add the parameters that your CMMS system needs: equipment sheets, manufacturer data, maintenance intervals and references to technical documentation.
We agreed on this before starting modeling so that the delivered model is directly useful, without having to add data manually afterwards.
A medium-sized office building with architecture, structure and facilities in LOD 300 can be ready in 3–4 weeks. An industrial plant with complex piping and multiple systems may need more time.
We always give a deadline in the budget and we meet it. If there is a specific delivery date, tell us from the beginning and we will take it into account when planning.
Do you have plans, point cloud or documentation for an installation?
Send us what you have. In 24 hours we tell you what we can do with it.
