The Role of Scan to BIM in Renovation and Facility Management

Whether you’re renovating a heritage building or managing a commercial facility, having accurate as-built data is critical. That’s where Scan to BIM plays a game-changing role.

📐 What is Scan to BIM?
Scan to BIM is the process of using 3D laser scanning or photogrammetry to capture physical building data, and then converting it into a detailed BIM model using tools like Revit.

This technique is perfect for:

Renovation and retrofit projects

Historical building restoration

Large facility asset tracking

MEP verification and rerouting

🧠 Benefits of Scan to BIM
No guesswork: Exact representation of walls, pipes, beams, and more

Reduces site visits: All information available digitally

Speeds up approvals: Precise documentation for clients and authorities

Supports FM teams: Easy integration with maintenance software

🔍 Case Example
For a Dutch retail chain, Falcon BIM provided Scan to BIM services for over 30,000 sq. ft. of retail and office space. This reduced their renovation downtime by 25%, thanks to precise MEP coordination.
