SCAN TO BIM SERVICES
Offering Australia-wide Scan to BIM services across all major metro areas. Convert 3D scans into precise BIM models for efficient project delivery.
Scan to BIM Services Australia-Wide
Our Scan-to-BIM service transforms real-world spaces into intelligent, data-rich 3D Building Information Models (BIM). Using the latest scanning technology, we capture every architectural, structural, and MEP element with exceptional clarity and accuracy. Whether it’s a historic building, commercial property, or complex infrastructure asset, our BIM models enable precise design coordination, renovation, and asset management. We utilise Matterport Pro3 LiDAR cameras for rapid site capture — a fast, efficient solution delivering accuracy of around ±20mm over 10m, ideal for most architectural, design, and facilities projects. To enhance precision, we always conduct independent laser measurement verification across key control points, ensuring accuracy beyond standard Matterport tolerances.
For projects where millimetre-level accuracy is essential — such as detailed engineering, heritage restoration, or structural analysis — we deploy survey-grade scanners including the Trimble X7 and Leica RTC360. This hybrid workflow allows us to tailor each project’s data acquisition method to meet its specific accuracy, scale, and deliverable requirements.

What are the benefits of Scan to BIM?
Enhanced Accuracy: Capture precise 3D measurements, reducing errors and ensuring reliable data for design and construction.
Time Efficiency: Expedite the surveying process with rapid 3D scanning, delivering BIM files in days instead of weeks.
Cost Savings: Lower project expenses by decreasing modelling costs by up to 70% compared to conventional methods.
Seamless Integration: Easily import BIM files into Autodesk Revit and other design software, streamlining workflows without manual data translation.
Improved Collaboration: Share detailed 3D models with stakeholders, facilitating better communication and decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
Comprehensive Documentation: Generate accurate as-built records, aiding in maintenance, renovations, and future expansions.
Reduced Site Visits: Access immersive digital twins remotely, minimising the need for frequent on-site inspections.
Scalability: Adapt to projects of various sizes and complexities with versatile scanning solutions.
Our Process & Deliverables
Data Capture – We scan the site using Matterport Pro3 for fast capture or Trimble X7/Leica scanners for survey-grade accuracy.
Validation – Key dimensions are verified with independent laser measurements to enhance accuracy.
Data Processing – The point cloud is registered, aligned, and cleaned to create a precise dataset.
BIM Modelling – We build a detailed Revit model (LOD 200–500) tailored to project requirements.
Delivery – Final models are supplied in RVT, IFC, or DWG formats for seamless integration into design workflows.
RVT (Revit Model) – A complete Autodesk Revit file for seamless integration into design and BIM workflows.
IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) – Open BIM format enabling collaboration across multiple design and engineering platforms.
DWG (2D CAD Drawings) – Standard AutoCAD files for plans, sections, and elevations, ready for editing and documentation.
E57 (Vendor-Neutral Point Cloud) – A universal format for sharing precise, colourised 3D scan data across software systems.
PDF (2D Plans/Sections/Elevations) – Easy-to-share PDF outputs for quick reference, reviews, and client communication.

BOOK NOWHow Scan to BIM Transforms Your Building Projects
Discover how 3D Walkabout simplifies building surveys with Scan to BIM technology. These short videos explain key features, from precise 3D scanning to seamless BIM integration.
What are the different types of BIM models available?
Our Architecture BIM model captures existing interior building conditions, providing precise dimensions, structural elements, and key spatial details essential for accurate design and construction planning.
The Architecture, MEP + Furniture model offers a comprehensive solution by combining all architectural, furniture, and MEP components.
The Architecture + Furniture model extends this by including interior architectural details alongside existing furniture, such as tables, seating, cabinets, appliances, kitchen elements, and select wall fixtures.
For more specialised needs, the Architecture + Complex Industrial MEP model is ideal for spaces like mechanical rooms and data centres, featuring generic representations of all non-architectural elements and complex industrial MEP systems.
For projects requiring infrastructure details, the Architecture + MEP model adds visible mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, covering equipment, piping, plumbing, and electrical outlets.

Frequently Asked Questions
How secure is my building data during the Scan to BIM process?
Matterport uses secure cloud storage and encrypted data handling. 3D Walkabout ensures that your scans and models are protected and only accessible to authorised personnel.
What file formats are provided with the Scan to BIM service?
Typically, BIM models are delivered in formats compatible with Autodesk Revit (.RVT) and other industry-standard file types (.IFC, .DWG). Clement & Reid can tailor file outputs to your specific project requirements.
How does Scan to BIM improve collaboration among project stakeholders?
By providing an accurate 3D digital twin and BIM files, Scan to BIM allows architects, engineers, contractors, and owners to collaborate remotely, share insights, and make informed decisions faster.
Can Scan to BIM be used for renovation and retrofitting projects?
Absolutely. Scan to BIM is especially useful for renovation projects, providing accurate as-built documentation that reduces risks and ensures that new designs fit seamlessly with existing structures.
How accurate are the BIM models produced using Matterport Scan to BIM?
Matterport’s 3D scanning provides highly accurate spatial data with measurement precision typically within 1%. This ensures that the BIM models are reliable for design, renovation, and construction purposes.
Is Scan to BIM suitable for all types of buildings?
Yes! Scan to BIM works for residential, commercial, industrial, and historical buildings. It’s ideal for new construction projects, renovations, facility management, and heritage preservation.
What should I expect during a Scan to BIM project?
3D Walkabout will handle everything from the initial 3D scan to the delivery of a complete BIM file. The process includes a site visit for scanning, data processing, and BIM file generation, all while maintaining clear communication throughout the project.
Do I need special software to view the BIM model?
The BIM models generated are compatible with industry-standard software like Autodesk Revit. For basic viewing, Matterport’s web platform provides easy access without specialised software.
What are the key advantages of using Scan to BIM over traditional surveying methods?
Scan to BIM offers faster turnaround times, higher accuracy, reduced costs, and fewer site visits. It also improves collaboration by providing a precise digital twin that can be accessed remotely.
How long does the Scan to BIM process take?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. Typically, the scanning process takes a few hours to a day, and the BIM model is delivered within a few days—significantly faster than traditional methods.
