Scan to BIM
Scan to BIM is a revolutionary process that converts laser scan data into detailed and accurate Building Information Modeling (BIM) models. It bridges the gap between the physical and digital worlds by capturing the precise geometry, spatial relationships, and conditions of existing structures. This powerful methodology is invaluable for projects involving renovations, retrofits, facility management, and construction planning.
Whether it's documenting as-built conditions, improving design accuracy, or facilitating collaboration, Scan to BIM delivers a reliable foundation for decision-making and project success.
At HiCAD Africa Ltd, we take Scan to BIM to the next level by combining advanced reality capture technology with our specialized expertise, including tank calibration. Here’s how we deliver unmatched value:
