Scan to BIM Revit services in the EU
Convert point clouds into as-built BIM that teams can actually coordinate and document with.
MaViAl is a Wrocław-based nearshore BIM Revit team supporting EU offices with Scan to BIM delivery: we transform client-provided point clouds and scan datasets into as-built Revit models, coordination-ready geometry, and scope-based documentation deliverables. The focus is practical handover: a model that behaves predictably in production.
This page is built around Scan to BIM realities: scope definition, LOD/LOI alignment, and QA/QC that prevents “pretty but unusable” models.
Why Scan to BIM fails in EU projects (and how we prevent it)
Most problems are not “modelling mistakes” — they are scope mismatches. Teams model too much, too little, or without rules that support coordination and documentation. We run Scan to BIM as an engineering delivery process.
Unclear level of detail
Without LOD/LOI boundaries, the model becomes inconsistent: some areas are overbuilt while others are missing what coordination needs.
Chaotic naming & structure
Even accurate geometry is hard to use if categories, naming, levels/grids and worksets do not follow office standards.
No QA/QC loop
A model must be checkable. We package outputs with checks and a handover structure so downstream teams can trust the content.
Scan to BIM services we deliver for EU offices
You can engage us for one pilot building, a repeatable pipeline for multiple facilities, or ongoing support for renovation portfolios. We work from scan datasets supplied by the client or survey partner, and we coordinate deliverables with your BIM standards.
- Define model purpose: renovation design, coordination, documentation, or asset record (scope-based).
- Agree modelling boundaries and data rules: LOD/LOI, naming, levels/grids, categories, worksets (if used).
- Set handover formats: RVT / IFC / NWC and the minimum set of views/sheets required for downstream teams.
- Architectural shell & structure from scan data (scope-based segmentation: wings, floors, zones).
- MEP modelling from scan data when required (routing and equipment as agreed in scope).
- Clean model behavior for coordination: consistent categories, visibility control, and project structure that works in production.
- Models prepared for coordination workflows (internal model hygiene, practical view sets, export readiness).
- Scope-based deliverable packs: basic sheets/sections, reference views, and handover structure agreed at start.
- Optional coordination support: issue listing and model adjustments based on feedback loops.
- Model checks aligned with your standards: naming, structure, categories and deliverable completeness.
- Documented assumptions: what was modeled, what was excluded, and where scan coverage affected the result.
- Handover packaging so your team can reuse the model across design, coordination and documentation workflows.
What you receive from Scan to BIM (scope-based)
Deliverables vary by project purpose. Below we show typical output structures used in EU Scan to BIM engagements. One of the two layouts (table vs bullet cards) is selected by the anti-template engine to reduce footprint similarity across category pages.
| Workstream | Typical inputs | Outputs we deliver |
|---|---|---|
| ✓Model setup | Standards note (BEP), deliverable purpose, coordinate reference (if available) | Project structure, levels/grids, naming rules and a handover-friendly model organization |
| ✓As-built modelling | Point clouds (RCP/RCS/E57 as agreed) + scope boundaries | As-built Revit model built to the agreed scope and detail level |
| ✓Coordination pack | Your coordination workflow (Navisworks/IFC etc.) | Export-ready deliverables (RVT/IFC/NWC as agreed) and coordination-ready view sets |
| ✓Handover notes | Client expectations for documentation/record | Scope notes: modeled/excluded items, assumptions, scan coverage considerations |
- As-built Revit model: structured, named, and packaged for downstream teams (scope-based content).
- Export formats: RVT + optional IFC/NWC per your workflow and coordination pipeline.
- View sets: practical views/sections for navigation, checking and coordination use.
- Scope notes: what was modeled, what is excluded, and key assumptions for safe reuse.
- Portfolio scaling: if you have multiple assets, we can standardize a repeatable Scan-to-BIM delivery structure.
- Feedback loop: controlled revisions based on issue lists and coordination comments (scope-based).
How Scan to BIM is delivered (EU-friendly sequence)
We use a sequence that keeps Scan to BIM measurable: scope → model structure → modelling → checks → handover.
-
Align scope & purpose
Define model purpose and deliverables (coordination, renovation design, documentation). Agree boundaries and required detail.
-
Build structured as-built model
Model from point cloud data with predictable project structure, naming and categories aligned to office standards.
-
QA/QC & handover
Run checks, package exports and provide scope notes so your team can reuse the model safely.
A Scan to BIM scenario we frequently support
This is intentionally written as a production story (not generic marketing) and is varied by the anti-template engine using a canonical-based seed.
Example: renovation project with incomplete drawings
A renovation team receives scans but drawings are outdated. We create an as-built Revit model structured for design iteration, so architects and engineers can coordinate without rebuilding geometry in every phase.
What we stabilize first
We define deliverable purpose and LOD/LOI boundaries, then standardize model structure and naming so coordination does not become a manual cleanup exercise.
What improves downstream
Teams stop arguing about “what the model is for”, coordination becomes faster, and documentation work is built on a stable as-built baseline.
Scan to BIM FAQ (EU projects)
FAQ answers focus on real Scan-to-BIM constraints: scope definition, deliverables, and handover that downstream teams can trust.
Do you provide laser scanning on site?
We typically work from scan datasets provided by the client or a survey partner. If needed, we can coordinate deliverable requirements so the scanning output matches the modelling scope.
Which point cloud formats do you work with?
We can work with common point cloud workflows (for example RCP/RCS or E57) depending on your pipeline. The exact format is confirmed at scoping so exports and handover are predictable.
Can you model MEP from scan data?
Yes, when the scan coverage and project scope support it. We define which systems are modeled, at what level of detail, and how they should be delivered for coordination and documentation.
How do you keep Scan to BIM from becoming “too detailed” or “not detailed enough”?
We agree LOD/LOI boundaries and deliverable purpose first. That turns modelling into a measurable task and prevents uncontrolled scope growth.
What do you include in handover besides the model?
We provide a structured deliverable pack and scope notes: what is modeled/excluded, assumptions, and any constraints caused by scan coverage. This helps your team reuse the model safely.
Can you align deliverables to our BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and naming rules?
Yes. We use your standards as the baseline for naming, structure, categories and handover formats so the as-built model fits your office workflows.
