As-built BIM modelling

Point Cloud to BIM Services in the UK & Europe

Tesla CAD UK provides Point Cloud to BIM Services for survey companies, architects, engineers, contractors, facility managers and refurbishment teams across the UK and Europe. We convert laser scan data into accurate architectural, structural and MEP BIM models that support existing-condition documentation, retrofit planning, design coordination, construction documentation and as-built handover.

How do our scan to BIM services convert point cloud data into accurate Revit models?

Our Scan to BIM team works with registered point cloud formats such as RCP, RCS, E57, LAS, LAZ, PTS and PTX using Autodesk ReCap, Revit, Navisworks, and IFC workflows. We model to the agreed LOD and LOI, project-specific tolerances, scan density, shared coordinates, survey control, BEP requirements, naming conventions, worksets and ISO 19650-aligned information management standards.

Deliverables can include Revit RVT models, IFC exports, NWC/NWD coordination files, 2D CAD drawings, elevations, sections, floor plans, QA notes, viewsheets, as-built BIM models and discipline-specific architectural, structural and MEP outputs.

Point cloud conversion services

Which scan to BIM services does Tesla CAD UK provide?

Tesla CAD UK provides end-to-end Scan to BIM modelling across Architectural, Structural and MEP disciplines.

Architectural BIM Modelling

We develop BIM models that represent architectural geometry and elements derived from point cloud data, including:

  • walls and partitions
  • floors, slabs and ceilings
  • doors, windows and openings
  • roofs, façades and external envelope features
  • stairs, ramps and key architectural details

Ideal for refurbishment surveys, design optioneering and accurate existing-condition documentation.

Structural BIM Modelling

Our structural team models the primary structural system to support design coordination and structural planning, including:

  • columns, beams and framing systems
  • structural slabs and cores
  • load-bearing walls and structural openings
  • foundations (where visible / supported by scan scope)

Suitable for retrofit design, strengthening works and multidisciplinary coordination.

MEP BIM Modelling

We model building services captured within the scan dataset to support coordination and installation planning, including:

  • plumbing and drainage networks
  • plantroom systems and riser services
  • HVAC equipment, ductwork and insulation zones (as required)
  • chilled water / LTHW / DHW pipework and valves (per scope)
  • electrical containment (conduits, cable trays, trunking)

Useful for clash avoidance, plant replacement, and complex refurbishments.

As-Built BIM Models (Existing Conditions)

We develop as-built / existing-condition BIM models from point cloud data for:

  • refurbishment and retrofit projects
  • redevelopment and change-of-use planning
  • asset and space documentation
  • heritage and conservation recording (scope-dependent)
Model Detail and Deliverables

What deliverables can you expect from our scan to BIM services?

Level of Detail should match how the model will be used. We align outputs to your project requirements, whether you need a coordination model for design teams or a higher-detail model for construction documentation.

Typical options include

  • LOD aligned to design coordination (clean geometry, coordinated services routes)
  • Higher-detail MEP zones for plantrooms/riser complexity
  • Information requirements (parameters) aligned to your BEP / asset needs

Autodesk Revit Models

Discipline-separated or federated format.

IFC Exports

Structured for open BIM workflows across platforms.

NWC/NWD Files

Coordination files ready for Navisworks integration if required.

QA Documentation

Model screenshots, viewsheets and detailed QA notes.

Scan data requirements

What information do we need before starting a scan to BIM project?

To deliver scan-accurate Scan to BIM models, we start with a structured kick-off to confirm scope, standards and deliverables. This keeps production efficient and ensures the model supports downstream design and coordination.

What we confirm at kick-off

  • point cloud format and project setup (RCP/RCS, E57, LAS/LAZ, etc.)
  • modelling scope by discipline (Architecture / Structure / MEP) and inclusions/exclusions
  • tolerance expectations and QA checks (as specified by the project team)
  • shared coordinates / survey control requirements (where applicable)
  • BIM standards: naming, worksets, parameters, LOD/LOI and BEP requirements
  • deliverables and issue schedule (Revit, IFC, NWC/NWD as required)

Why survey companies choose Tesla CAD UK for point cloud conversion services?

Point Cloud to BIM projects demand accuracy, consistency and disciplined coordination. Tesla CAD UK supports survey companies with a structured modelling approach and specialist resources.

Multidisciplinary Coordination

Architectural, structural and MEP teams work together to produce models that coordinate across systems, not isolated discipline silos.

UK-Registered Delivery Partner

You engage a UK-registered business while benefiting from a dedicated BIM delivery centre for consistent production and scalability.

Production-Ready BIM Structure

We model with real project use in mind naming conventions, worksets, parameters, and shared coordinates aligned to your standards.

Accuracy Against the Point Cloud

We maintain close alignment with the scan data and follow agreed tolerance requirements to reflect existing conditions reliably.

Scalable Capacity for Large Datasets

From single-floor pilots to multi-building estates, we scale resources to meet programme demands.

Cost-Efficient Delivery

A UK delivery interface combined with global BIM production capability supports quality outcomes with competitive cost control.
