Scan to BIM

Tech Pennar provides its clients Scan to BIM Services as part of its comprehensive Virtual and Design Construction expertise. Our experts use the best scanning equipment with laser depth for evaluation of the external and internal spaces. The process is done by creating two prototypes of 3 D models with laser technology. Both the models are ready-to-use and can be aligned with the other BIM models. Our team is also familiar with the use of drone technology which is an integral part of the scan.

  • The first scan is done to evaluate the current situation of the site/building that requires transformation.
  • The second scan is done to create the existing model. It is scaled to a 3 D model with the changes required in the new building.
  • The experts use the latest software embedded with tools to make accurate assumptions.
  • With the assessment, the turnaround time is around 24 hours to make the 3D model.
  • Our turnkey solutions use a multi-disciplinary approach for updating and maintaining BIM models.

Tech Pennar Benefits

When you outsource our Scan to BIM services, be assured of a reliable, cost-effective work. Our team is familiar with current trends of design and development in the construction industry.

With core competency, we offer the following benefits to you:
  • We collaborate with your in-house designers to create models with sharp precision.
  • A dedicated management team works to deliver each stage of the project.
  • We have sophisticated data capture equipment to make quick 3 D models. This is ideal for the client who needs to bid for a project and submit the tender in time.
  • The proposed 3 D model details the entire project life cycle.
  • For industrial plants we have a specific team to make designs. You can rely on us for the fabrication and scalability of the 3 D model structure.
  • The 2 D model can be scaled into a 3 D model with accuracy. We use Autodesk revit filing system which is the current method.
Additional benefits

Creating powerful virtual representations of the building with the technical data is our speciality. It enhances our ability to make specific details of the 3 D scanned models. They showcase the elevations, dimensions and are visually appealing to begin the construction project. It is best used in projects where renovations to aged buildings are done. Any structure that has been weathered with age needs careful handling. Our software and tools provide laser scans for evaluation of the external and internal spaces. This data is used to make the prototype after the initial survey.

Handling specific requirements

As part of our scan to BIM services we have specialized offerings for architecture and manufacturing clients. Choose our expert consultancy to make safe virtual assets of the project in focus.

As they need structured data and performance enhancement, our division gives outputs for:
  • Alternative manufacturing models for fabricators and designers.
  • The technical data comes with a cost effective package.
  • Autodesk Revit is used with the BIM services.
  • On the behalf of the client our expert offers consultancy throughout the life cycle of the project.
  • Our team will handle all the BIM documentation and also accreditation.

Point cloud data & Scanned images

Tech Pennar team has experience and knowledge related to accurate Point to Cloud Modeling services. Laser scanning is important to capture data in high definition. It allows collaborating teams to discern changes in new designs. With technological access, production values are enhanced. It is best used in projects related to renovations and aged buildings. Any structure that has weathered with age needs careful handling. With new techniques and tools we utilize laser scans, 3D models, and data to derive strength of the building. This method is speedy and gives results in 24 hours. The team has access to the best scanning equipment with laser depth for evaluation of external and internal spaces for initial survey. The data generated is used to make the prototype.

The REVIT standard is applied to Scan to BIM projects that require retrofit or reconstructions of buildings. It is important for validation of elements from scanned images like:

  • Re-design and 2 D conversion into 3 D models for existing buildings
  • Drone technology is used
  • 3 D surface creation is developed via Point Cloud or any unstructured data points
  • MEP and architectural requirements from point cloud data
  • Quantity take-off
  • BOMS and RFI generation
  • Interference checks
  • Construction components
  • Demolition
  • Documentation
  • Comparisons
  • Planning
  • Budget estimates

The Point Cloud modelling services are useful for making parametric 3D BIM and 2 D CAD models. They can be used by:
  • Property owners
  • Land Surveyors
  • Laser scanning companies
  • Architects
  • Engineers (MEP)
  • Contractors
  • Construction Management companies

As built Verification and Validation

As understood laser scanning is a vital part to validate the real time situation for a construction project it involves several files and formats to be consolidated. Engineers are able to do the following:


  • Transfer data of Point Cloud Scan (.rcp and .rcsinto REVIT)
  • Create multiple levels of the building
  • Elements are added from the scanning data
  • REVIT, Naviswork, Autocad, ReCap, Cyclone and Solibri are required for connecting technical points
  • The scanned images and models can be coordinated with each other with the measured tools.
  • Survey points can be added for extra detailing to the model.

Tech Pennar shares its Scan to BIM expertise across industries. It is vital to gain efficiency and accuracy with the new trends. Our ready virtual environment offers support for global time zones. The technical department takes care of data protection and privacy for all the projects. It is due to our flexible structure of working we offer expertise for all renovation projects with advanced data generation. Our projects are 100% error free. Clients get a 360 view of the models to ensure the project meets with success on completion. With rapid changes in the construction industry, we keep ourselves updated with the necessary trends. We offer the best value proposition for BIM refurbishing projects.

Let us know about your requirements for renovations or demolitions. We can scale the project with the scan to BIM services. Please also look into case study to understand how we execute such projects
