Digitizing a G+4 Residential Building - Point Cloud to BIM

This project involved developing an LOD 300 BIM model for a mid-rise G+4 residential building. The client required a digital twin to facilitate interior remodeling, maintenance planning, and compliance with housing regulations.

The workflow started with detailed laser scanning of the building’s interior and exterior. The raw scans were cleaned to remove noise, aligned into a unified dataset, and optimized for modeling. A multidisciplinary BIM team then created an as-built model covering architectural layouts, structural framing, and core MEP components.

The resulting model supports precise documentation, enhances stakeholder collaboration, and provides a foundation for lifecycle management of the residential property.

Key Benefits of the BIM Model

1. Accurate As-Built Documentation: Enables reliable planning for renovations and retrofits.
2. Improved Stakeholder Coordination: A single BIM environment reduces conflicts and miscommunication.
3. Facility & Asset Management: The model assists in tracking building components and space utilization.
4. Regulatory Readiness: Provides documentation aligned with UK residential compliance standards.
