Scan to BIM | Public Building | Barnoldswick

1. Scan to BIM Survey

A comprehensive 3D laser scan was conducted, covering all internal and external areas of the church. The building includes a range of intricate architectural features, exposed timber beams, ornate decorative elements, and complex window geometries, all of which were carefully documented. These details were modelled with precision in Revit to ensure the client received a faithful digital representation of the existing building fabric.

2. Roof and Drainage Detailing

The survey extended to the roof structure, where the client required full documentation of drainage channels, rainwater downpipes, and associated roof elements. Given the scale and complexity of the roof, the team adopted a coordinated scanning methodology to ensure each feature was captured and accurately integrated into the BIM model.

3. Modelling Challenges

Several detailed architectural and structural components posed modelling challenges due to their fine geometry and restricted accessibility within the scan. Despite these limitations, all relevant elements were captured and modelled to the highest achievable level of detail, ensuring continuity and precision throughout the entire Revit model.
