Why Scan-to-BIM Is Essential for Design and Construction
Understanding existing conditions accurately is critical before design, refurbishment, or construction work begins. Scan-to-BIM provides a detailed visual and dimensional record of a site at a specific point in time, supporting coordination across architectural, structural, and services disciplines.
Rather than replacing survey or engineering services, Scan-to-BIM complements them by improving clarity, context, and confidence across the project team.
