  Scan to BIM Success Story – School Renovation Project in Greece At Asbuild3D , we recently completed a challenging Scan to BIM project for a school in Greece . The client approached us with a dense point cloud scan , captured using the Leica BLK360 scanner , and requested a high-accuracy 3D model along with 2D floor plans, elevations, and sections for renovation purposes. The Client’s Challenge The client was initially concerned because the point cloud data was not properly captured in certain areas , leading to gaps and noise. Since the renovation project required very high accuracy , the client was worried about whether a reliable 3D and 2D output could be achieved from the given data. Our Approach The Asbuild3D expert team analyzed the dense point cloud carefully and developed a highly accurate 3D model . From this model, we generated detailed 2D drawings (floor plans, elevations, and sections) . Where the scan data was missing, our team cross-verified building f...

  The image above shows a perfect example of how Scan to BIM technology transforms real-world infrastructure into precise, intelligent 3D models. On the right, we see the point cloud scan of a telecommunication tower—captured using laser scanning technology. On the left, the same structure has been digitally modeled into BIM (Building Information Modeling) , showing a cleaner, structured, and information-rich version. Why Scan to BIM for Towers? Telecommunication towers are complex steel structures with antennas, panels, and multiple small elements. Traditional measurement methods are: Time-consuming – requiring manual surveys. Error-prone – small mistakes can lead to costly rework. Difficult to document – because of height, location, and accessibility. With 3D laser scanning and BIM modeling , all these challenges are solved: ✅ Accurate representation of steel members, antennas, and bracings. ✅ Safe data collection from ground or drones. ✅ Easy digita...
