Scan to BIM / Existing-building documentation
Existing conditions. A clearer digital reference.
Develop BIM models and drawings from supplied survey and point-cloud information. SolidCAD helps project teams document existing buildings for refurbishment, design review and coordination.

Built around your project
From captured geometry to usable information.
Existing-building projects depend on clear references. We review the scan information, model scope and intended use with your team, then prepare the agreed building elements and drawing outputs. Modelling requirements and survey limitations are confirmed at the start.
Scope & deliverables
Clear scope. Useful documentation.
Point-cloud review
Review the supplied scan coverage, reference coordinates and available supporting survey information.
Architectural modelling
Document agreed visible building elements, such as floors, walls and openings, from the supplied references.
Structural references
Model agreed structural elements visible in the source information for design and coordination workflows.
Existing-services modelling
Prepare the agreed visible services geometry where scan coverage and project references support it.
Drawing outputs
Develop plans, sections and elevations for the drawing scope agreed with your project team.
Coordination handover
Deliver the agreed model and documentation with limitations and outstanding queries clearly identified.
Start with the right information
Bring your references.
We’ll confirm the scope.
A clear brief helps us prepare a quotation around your required deliverables and review programme.

A practical review process
From reference to handover.
Agree the brief
Review source information, deliverables, formats and milestones.
Prepare the model
Develop the agreed geometry and associated documentation.
Review together
Resolve queries and incorporate confirmed project feedback.
Deliver the files
Issue the agreed model and drawings with the revision status clear.

Does Scan to BIM include the on-site survey?
This service page covers modelling and documentation from supplied scan and survey information. Contact us to confirm your survey arrangements and the full project scope before commissioning work.
Can a point cloud show concealed elements?
A scan records visible surfaces within its coverage. Concealed or inaccessible elements require additional verified information and should not be assumed from the scan alone.
How is model accuracy agreed?
The required tolerances and level of detail are agreed for the intended use, considering the source survey quality, scan coverage and available project references.
