How effective is the point cloud to BIM services with a real-time construction project?
The era of the 21st century has advanced a lot regardless of the industries or the business sector. Talking about one of the business sectors, the construction industry indeed has seen a tremendous change in it.
No matter whether you need to construct a new building or want renovation in the existing building, the stakeholders of the project will go ahead and demand and search for a BIM outsourcing company who can assist them in all types of guidance and support in BIM projects from its start to its end.
Today in this blog we are discussing one of the important services that not only turn out to be a tedious process but require a high amount of accuracy and precision. So, the service that we are discussing is Scan to BIM services or Point cloud to BIM services.
When we discuss Scan to BIM, it is indeed we talk about the entire process and series of steps that need to be implemented. This is the way in which actual representation of the existing conditions of the projects can be easily viewed and noted. We may have a question arisen whether it is applicable or not and if so how about knowing who can take this process of work into consideration.
So, let us make it this way, in brief, when we have an existing building that demands any alteration or development like retrofitting, renovation, refurbishment, or reconstruction we being one of the leading BIM outsourcing company have a clear aim and that is to establish or develop the structure and system in the same place. If this is the concept and ideology in that case it is very much necessary to have a detailed and accurate representation and a report of an existing building so as to know the current condition.
This is the time where there is a need to have a 3D laser scanning device. This is because it helps in knowing as well as capturing the existing conditions of the building that is demanding any kind of alteration. These scanned data are in the form of “points”. It is that when hundreds of millions of points are combined altogether, it formulates and is thus known as point cloud scan. A Point Cloud Scan is then at the later stage extracted into a 3D Modeling platform with the purpose of creating an As-built model.
Moving further, now comes the reason or the intent to use Scan to BIM process or point cloud to BIM. Being outsourcing BIM services with leading BIM company the team adheres to follow required details and based on that integrate scan to BIM services that can be taken into consideration for site verification, design validation/planning/comparison, develop as-built drawings, interference checks, Post use of scan to BIM services or point cloud to BIM services, MEP consultants or MEP services comes into the picture. It is the construction elements that are used for demolition, or addition, documentation of existing building conditions, quantity take-off, and budget estimation. In the process of documentation, the following are levels of documentation:
Level 1: Floor Plans
Level 2: Exterior Elevation & Roof Plans
Level 3: Sections
Level 4: Site Plan Layout
The next challenging part comes is getting the scan to the BIM project executed. The entire process demands implementation of the project with utmost care and that also with using the process step-by-step. This is the process that is being described in the details and this involves four steps and these four steps should mandatorily be followed at the time of executing the BIM project in BIM modeling services and that also as per the details mentioned in the workflow chart
[1] Capture
[2] Process
[3] BIM Modeling
[4] Quality Assurance
Now moving further let us have a check as to how scan to BIM services or point cloud to BIM services is helping in the real-time project execution plan.
Till now we have discussed with you the details as to what is scan to BIM all about. Now what needs to be known is how effective it is in the real-time project. While outsourcing BIM services with leading BIM services providers, the company ensures to use of the required tools and software that make the project a success.
At the start of the blog, we have discussed few details as to why and how the services are being used in the redevelopment of the building and how beneficial it is at the time of construction work of BIM services. For a contractor to work on its projects without any delay it requires proper use of software and along with that details of the drawings and designs.
Point cloud to BIM services using Revit software helps stakeholders of the projects to execute the project and submit 3D BIM models to the clients that are best suited for the structure. Thus with the point cloud to BIM services or scan to BIM, the contractors can know in detail where to work and in what quantity the raw materials and manpower would be required for real-time project execution.
Conclusion:
On reading this blog it is very much easy to understand what and why to have a scan to BIM services. Silicon Engineering Consultants Pty Ltd is the leading BIM engineering company that provides Scan to BIM services not only in Australia but across the globe.
