Bring your project to life with 3D Deliverables
BIM (Building Information Modelling) is about enabling collaboration between multi-disciplinary professionals through the lifecycle of a development project and onwards. This collaboration must start at the design stage of the planning process when the requirements for the existing site and building survey data are assessed. Laser Surveys work closely with our clients to ensure that the Level of Detail and formats of the deliverables are agreed from the onset of each specific project so they receive the full benefits of Building Information Modelling.
The criteria used during 3D Building Information Modelling for developing a BIM Model will be different for each project which is why we provide our clients with a ‘Revit Specification Checklist’ which itemises the scope of work and the level of detail required from the Revit Model commissioned.
Benefits of Building Information Modelling:
- Reduced errors and increased productivity
- High accuracy of existing sites and buildings in three dimensions, not just two
- Clearer understanding of the impact of design changes
- Collaborative working
- Analysis of the project such as sun studies, and renders for client presentation
A dedicated Building Information Modelling team you can count on.
Laser Surveys can help to play a key role in the BIM workflow of your project. With our years of experience providing accurate, high-quality BIM-ready survey models, combined with a dedicated and highly skilled in-house Revit team, we are the best choice for your 3D survey needs.

Levels of Detail for Buildings & Structures
LOD1 – Massing Model
Overall shape of external building envelope.
LOD2 – Outline Model
Major walls, columns, floors, ceilings & roofs, with openings.
LOD3 – Standard Detail
Laser Surveys generic families of doors, windows, stairs, ramps and balustrades.
Generic families based upon overall dimensions for fixtures, fittings, and architectural features.
LOD4 – High Detail
Laser Surveys 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
You may require specific elements of your project in a different level of detail to that specified for the overall building, for example if certain elements are listed or require more detailed Building Information Modelling due to renovation works. Other elements may need to be shown but are not the focus of the works and can be shown in a lower detail.
Levels of Detail for Site Models
LOD1 – Surface Only
Revit ‘toposurface’ based on site level data points.
LOD2 – Surface with subregions
As previous but divided into subregions to identify surface finishes.
LOD3 – Surface with subregions and site features
As previous but to include site features such as steps, street furniture, barriers, retaining walls, and trees also modelled as Revit objects.
Considerations for Site Models
We can tailor different Levels of Detail to different parts of the site as required/directed by client. Trees and bushes included within the model are generic examples. Height and position are taken from the topographical data, while spread is determined by the Revit family and cannot be amended.
