BIM + Scan‑to‑BIM for the Golden Thread
Turn real buildings into accurate Revit models (LOD 200–300) that carry the golden thread of information—ready for design, compliance and FM.
Reality capture to Revit, simplified—measured accuracy, one point of contact.
We convert existing structures into detailed BIM assets—captured on site, modelled for Revit, and packaged for your project’s golden thread. Whether you’re refurbishing, validating as‑builts, or preparing for handover and FM, we deliver models and data you can trust.
Single source of truth
Matterport capture to a clean, coordinated Revit model—ready for your team to design.
Measurable accuracy
Typical as‑built tolerance ±15–25 mm; tighter with added survey control.
Built for updates
Rescans and delta models at key milestones keep your data current.
Why VisualEyes?
Our approach
VisualEyes is one of the UK’s leading commercial-level Matterport(R) 3D capture specialists, with over ten years’ experience in large-area property capture. Using the latest in digital twin camera technology, we can bring your real-world spaces and products to life as detailed virtual tours or digital twins, accessible on any device. New techniques also allow us to capture high-density data for export to AutoCAD or BIM workflows. We can survey sites and objects to <20mm accuracy, creating data points that allow property to be assessed throughout the build process, from ground inspections through to final build showcases for sales and marketing.
You can use our 3D scanning services to provide:
- Revit Models (.RVT): LOD 200 - 300 architectural & MEP elements.
- Point Clouds: High-density E57 or PTS files for spatial coordination.
- Reflected Ceiling Plans: Accurate 2D CAD exports derived from 3D data.
- IFC Models: ISO-compliant digital records for long-term Facilities Management.
Spatial Capture & BIM workflow
Accurate spatial data is the precise foundation of any successful design, retrofit, or engineering project.
Partnering with VisualEyes for your Scan-to-BIM requirements begins with a technical consultation to define your specific Level of Detail (LOD), tolerances, and data integration needs.
You won’t be dealing with ‘content creators’; you are backed by a site-ready team of spatial capture specialists. We will provide a precise scope of works outlining deployment timelines, safety protocols, and deliverable formats to ensure minimal disruption to your live operations.
Once approved, we execute a rigorous, safety-first workflow to transition your physical site into a highly accurate digital asset:
- 1. Scope & Specification - We collaborate with your design team to define the required Level of Detail (LOD), deliverable formats, and coordinate systems to ensure the data integrates seamlessly with your existing software.
- 2. On-Site LiDAR Capture - Our CSCS-certified, site-ready technicians deploy high-precision 3D scanners, capturing mm-accurate spatial data safely and efficiently around your live operational environment.
- 3. Point Cloud Registration - We process, align, and 'clean' the raw scan data back at the studio. This creates a unified, high-density point cloud that serves as the precise digital foundation for your project.
- 4. Modelling & Handover - The registered data is delivered either as raw E57/PTS point clouds for your internal team, or fully converted into classed Revit (.RVT) and IFC models ready for immediate architectural use.
