Building a Survey-Based Digital Model - Modelling Rules
To create a 3D BIM modelwe are following a precise specifications which defines the specifics of modelling. Here are the main elements of our modelling rules, which we define before starting each project:
- Modelling file : We use Revit (.rvt) or Archicad (.pla)to suit customer preferences and project requirements.
- Levels of Detail : We comply with retail standards such as the LOG 300 for geometry and LOI 200 for related information. These examples are indicative, and we adjust the levels of detail for each project according to specific needs.
- Precision and Tolerance We 'smooth' the point cloud to improve accuracy when we convert the laser survey into a digital model. We define tolerances in advance, such as a margin of ± 5 cm / 2° for deformed or offset elements.
- Organisation by Level We cut the elements into levels and place them at the appropriate finished levels. This organisation includes the management of semi-storeys and the precise positioning of vertical elements. We need to agree these specifics before we start.
- Verification and georeferencing We need to determine whether the model will be geo-referenced and whether the altitudes will be verified and indicated for elements such as the roof or acroteria. We discuss these specifications with the client and validate them before launching the project.
These examples illustrate our standard modelling rules. However, every project is unique. We need to define these parameters precisely before starting work to ensure that the BIM model meets the customer's expectations and the project's requirements, thus ensuring a successful renovation.

The Crucial Role of BIM Modelling in Building Renovation
La BIM modelling is much more than just a technology. It is essential for the renovation and maintenance of buildings. Thanks to 3D digital mock-up BIMEvery architectural and structural detail is accurately captured. This enables effective planning prior to any physical intervention. This method provides an in-depth analysis for renovation projects, guaranteeing flawless execution.
Our Scanning Process for BIM Modelling
We start with a detailed scan of the existing building. We use high-precision laser scanners to capture millions of points. This process creates a dense point cloud, the basis of the 3D BIM model system. This accurately reflects the current conditions of the building and supports facilities management and the planning of renovation projects. 3D modelling of buildings.
From Capture to Model: Our Detailed Approach
Each scan generates a 3D BIM modelling of the building. It highlights aspects that are often hidden in traditional plans, such as structural irregularities and undocumented previous modifications. This information is crucial for engineers and architects, who play a key role as BIM managers when planning renovations.
Use of ARCHICAD and REVIT in our BIM Modelling Projects
ARCHICAD is at the heart of our 3D BIM modellingbut we are also able to use REVIT to meet the specific needs of each project. This software enables us to build BIM models and facilitate real-time collaboration between all project stakeholders. As a 3D BIM service providersWe use ARCHICAD and REVIT to ensure seamless integration of modifications, immersive 3D visualisation and accurate documentation, all of which are essential for renovation projects.
However, it is important to specify the desired BIM software, whether ARCHICAD or REVIT, when placing the order. This allows us to customise our approach and ensure that the software used matches the expectations and requirements of each customer.
Benefits of BIM Modelling for Project Management
The BIM modelling services offer a number of advantages for managing construction projects. They improve collaboration, optimise resource management and reduce costs through accurate planning. The accuracy of BIM models optimises the purchase of materials, reduces waste and avoids costly delays and construction errors.
