Accurate & Detailed 3D BIM Models

Begin your project on the right foot with an accurate 3D Modelling Survey from our expert in-house team. Our comprehensive models are designed to match your project’s specific requirements, ensuring the correct criteria and level of detail. By choosing our 3D model services, you minimise on-site disruption through our efficient and unobtrusive survey methods.

Our precise and realistic 3D models enable early detection of clashes and issues between existing site conditions and your design, leading to reduced project costs and timelines. They also serve as an excellent base for visualisations, facilitating clear communication with clients, contractors, and stakeholders. Additionally, our 3D survey models help your project comply with BIM Level 2 standards from the outset.

We provide models in Autodesk® Revit® and IFC formats, with options for 3D AutoCAD®, renders, and video walkthroughs to meet all your project needs. View our video portfolio here.

3D Service Models

3D services, whether above or below ground, are detected by our surveyors using a number of methods. We then convert these findings into a 3D model for you to use within your project. These are particularly useful for clash detection on busy sites.

2D to 3D Conversion

Existing 2D drawings are converted into accurate 3D Revit models. Additional survey data may be required to complete the process, which our own survey teams can provide.

Engineering drawings are converted into a 3D Revit model for spatial coordination with other consultants.

3D Building Modelling

We create models of existing buildings that can be used for design development, presentation purposes, and as a foundation for working drawings. Our level of detail (LOD) is customisable to suit your project, ensuring you get exactly what you need.

High levels of details are often needed for listed elements and high level retrofit or refurbishment. Lower levels are best for strip-outs or basic remodelling works.

We can tailor our survey to suit your project requirements , for example picking out key elements to a higher level of detail, identifying certain fixed furnishings or MEP, or focusing on the structural elements in particular.

More Details

LOD 1 – Massing Model

3D model, Revit model, Point cloud survey, bim model, LOD1

Laser Surveys most basic detail level: Overall shape of external building envelope.

LOD 2 – Outline Model

Measured survey in 3D revit, 3D measured building survey, full measured building survey

Outline details only: Major structural elements such as walls, columns, floors, ceilings, and roofs, including openings.

LOD 3 – Standard Detail Model

3D model, Revit model, Point cloud survey, bim model, LOD3

Generic families of doors, windows, stairs, ramps and balustrades. Generic families based upon overall dimensions for fixtures, fittings, and architectural features.

LOD 4 – High Detail Model

3D model, Revit model, Point cloud survey, bim model, LOD4

Project specific families of doors, windows, stairs, ramps and balustrades.
Project specific families based upon more detailed dimensions for fixtures, fittings, materials and architectural features.

Considerations for Building Models

Specific elements may require a different level of detail due to listing status or refurbishment requirements. We can tailor these sections accordingly.

3D Site Models

Laser Surveys can model the existing site topography in Revit for easy integration with other consultants’ BIM models.

Often, 3D building models are combined with site models to provide comprehensive context, including surrounding buildings, features, and even solar studies for light analysis.

We can tailor site models to your project requirements, for example if particular features need a higher level of detail, certain key site components need identifying or even if you require us to run a solar study of the site. Just get in touch with your requirements and we can do the rest.

More Details

LOD 1 – Basic Surface Model

3D Revit model showing surface, BIM survey model

Revit ‘toposurface’ generated from site level data points.

LOD 2 – Surface Model with subregions

Building information modelling of a site, BIM survey, 3D Revit model

A more detailed breakdown, identifying different surface finishes.

LOD 3 – Surface Model with subregions and site features

Revit model of site showing topographical detail in 3D

Includes features such as steps, street furniture, barriers, retaining walls, and trees modelled as Revit objects.

Considerations for Site Models

Different parts of the site can be modelled to varying levels of detail. Trees and bushes are generic within the model, with height and position based on topographical data.

3D Services Models

Our team specialises in detecting and modelling above and below-ground services, creating either 3D AutoCAD drawings or Revit models for your project. Laser scanning is used for accessible services, with models derived from the resulting point cloud data.

3D service models are particularly useful for clash detection and can be combined with topographical and building models to provide a comprehensive site overview.

We do not identify which services the pipework holds in laser scanned projects and will represent all pipe– and duct-work as a generic type.

LOD 2 – Overall sizes and routes

Pipe or duct diameter as seen/measured (insulation included within diameter if visible), tank size, chamber size etc., with straight runs between measured points below ground and basic fittings to represent routing above ground.

2D to 3D Conversion

Converting Your 2D Drawings to 3D BIM Models has never been easier!

Our team can convert your existing 2D drawings into 3D Revit models for improved spatial coordination with other consultants. If additional data is required, our survey teams can conduct further surveys to ensure the model meets your needs. Engineering drawings are carefully transformed into accurate and detailed BIM models.
