Convert Existing Commercial Facility into BIM Model

The project involved developing a comprehensive BIM model (LOD 300) for a commercial building with a total area of 2,000 Sq. Mt. The client required accurate as-built documentation to support ongoing renovation, space planning, and regulatory compliance.

The process started with 3D laser scanning of the entire building, capturing both interior and exterior geometry. The raw scans were processed to align multiple datasets, remove noise, and optimize file size for efficient modeling. Using Autodesk Revit, the team created an architectural and structural BIM model reflecting the existing conditions.

The as-built BIM model ensures that all stakeholders have reliable and measurable geometry to support decision-making, renovation design, and facility operations.

Key Benefits of the BIM Model

1. Design Validation: The BIM model provided a reliable reference for architects and engineers to validate design intent against existing conditions.
2. Cost & Time Savings: Accurate digital documentation reduced rework, site visits, and manual measurements during renovation planning.
3. Better Stakeholder Communication: The 3D environment allowed clients, designers, and contractors to visualize spaces more clearly, reducing misunderstandings.
4. Future-Proofing: The model can be reused for sustainability studies, retrofitting, and integration with smart building technologies.
