Scan-To-BIM: Faster and Easier Than You Think

The Scan-To-BIM concept seems like a pipe dream to many of us. It’s often too costly, time-consuming, or doesn’t seem necessary on our jobs. Often times we’re just looking to get a 2D floor plan and aren’t planning on a full-scale BIM process, so why bother, right? You want to bother because a BIM model isn’t the only output, or benefit, you’re going to get from this scanning process.

ZenTek Consultants are Matterport scanning and technology specialists who can scan your existing facility with the advanced Matterport Pro3 camera, giving you highly accurate 3D laser scan data coupled with photogrammetric walkthroughs of your job. This will save you from having to ever re-visit the site to verify data or answer questions. From that initial scan we can provide you with:

• Full 3D Online Matterport Walkthrough
• 2D Schematic PDF of Your Site/Facility
• 2D Architectural Plan Generation in DWG Format
• 2D Architectural Plan Generation in PDF Format
• 2D Architectural Elevation Generation in DWG Format
• 2D Architectural Elevation Generation in PDF Format
• 3D Solid Model of Your Site/Facility
• Revit (RVT) BIM of Your Site/Facility
• Full Point Cloud (e57) Data of Your Site/Facility
• High Resolution Imagery, Mesh, & Texture Maps for Rendering
• Integrate Your Site/Facility with Construction Management Systems
• Generate Digital Dashboard Linking or Existing Facilities

All that, and more data, can be developed from the initial Matterport scan and provided to you, your architect, engineer, or any other project stakeholder. Plus, we can turn the scan around in far less time, with substantially less expense, than you’d use sending staff out to do physical measures and take photos.
