Scan to BIM | Office Building | London

Project Scope

For this project, our team was commissioned to conduct a detailed Scan to BIM survey of a large mid-rise commercial building. The objective was to extract accurate ceiling and MEP data to support the client’s interior renovation works, ensuring all design decisions aligned with the building’s existing structural and spatial constraints.

Equipment Used

  • Laser Scanner RTC360
  • Leica GNSS Receiver GS14
  • Leica Total Station TS16

Duration

  • Site time: 3 days
  • Modelling time: 45 days

1. Scan to BIM Survey

The survey scope included the full documentation of ceiling structures, MEP systems, and structural ceiling components across multiple floors. The client required precise ceiling height mapping to guide renovation design, making accuracy and consistency essential. Detailed ceiling layouts and service routes were modelled carefully to provide a reliable foundation for future design coordination.

2. Project Scale and Challenges

The building’s size and multi-floor complexity required the management of a substantial point cloud dataset within a challenging timeline, the project was delivered 11 days earlier than originally scheduled. One of the most technically demanding tasks was modelling small fire pipes. These elements were difficult to extract due to point cloud noise, requiring careful processing, meticulous checking, and repeated verification to ensure accuracy.

Deliverables

The final deliverables provided to TSK Group included:

  • A coordinated Revit BIM model
  • Full drawing sets for each floor
  • Ceiling plans
  • MEP layouts
  • Structural plans
  • Sections

This comprehensive dataset equipped the client with accurate, reliable ceiling and services information to support informed renovation planning and interior design development.
