Utilization of Point Cloud to BIM Services in Different Segments of Service Disciplines and Sectors- Building Informatio

1. Created By: Utilization of Point Cloud to BIM Services in Different Segments of Service Disciplines and Sectors.

2. Introduction • There is a saying that change is inevitable. Therefore, to witness the changes that gives a positive result are welcomed by the major AEC industries. With the transformation of many new and effective tools and techniques that are introduced and coming into existence the working pattern has been changed or rather has been faster and easier. • Today here we would be talking about one of such technology that has eased the complete process of renovation and retrofit of the projects to a great extents. • In the field of construction, with the evolution of laser scanning service and technique there is an opening of new opportunities that are edge combining with the survey of constructed building that are completed with the process of as-built modeling.

3. Introduction to Laser Scanning Services • The definition of laser scanning is easy to understand and in the same way its process too. With this said laser scanning is the process that is used in capturing the "building data '' with the proper means of pint clouds. The complete process of scanning is completed with the equipment of laser scan that acts as an alternative or substitute for manual surveying. It is the era where each one thinks smartly and thus the process of scanning is way much quicker than the manual surveys. • With the evolution of laser scanning technique, the dependency on survey technician has reduced to a great extent and have made things convenient too. Below mentioned are some of the advantages that survey companies can have by using the laser scanning services.

4. If needs to be said it would be that any existing physical object can be converted into 3D models or drawings with the help of scanning services. The service of point cloud to BIM is very much useful for the renovation projects. Once the process of completing the formation into 3D point clouds are done, these data are later converted and exported into CAD and BIM. The purpose for this is to create 2D CAD drawings, its planner, 3D BIM models and CAD, etc. • The complete service of laser scanning techniques assists and facilitates field technicians and the engineers. This helps them to scan the object up to hundred of meters.

5. Scan to BIM Services in different sector and with different service disciplines • Point Cloud to BIM in Architectural Services The interior and the exterior designs that are created by the architecture can be converted into 3D models and that is possible with the process of scanning. The Scan to BIM services is adapted by the companies who are into the business of renovation of the old building or into redevelopment of the buildings. The option here best is to outsource it with the companies who are investing the machineries that are required in the process of scanning and assist in reducing the manual process of the work and turns out to be a profitable venture of the project. With the help of a laser scanner it becomes easy and convenient to scan the existing design model irrespective of how large it is. Also, based on this the further process of proposing the new design of renovation is suggested. Well, As-built data here can be attained and converted into the current models and drawings and that too with the demanded dimensions.

6. 2) Point Cloud to BIM In Structural Services This is the stage where the structure that is been designed can be scanned deep enough to give the actual updates and figures for the columns, beams, slabe, etc and other details. These figures are scanned from top to bottom and based on that the analysis report is been shared that will have the information of the existing condition of the building. The structural Point cloud to BIM serviceswill be requiring the assistance of structural engineers, but this is at the later stage of the project. This overall will be saving a lot of time, energy, and cost of investing a hefty amount in manual surveys that will now no more be required.

7. 3) Point Cloud to BIM in MEP Services With the help of Scan to BIM services in MEP, the designer and drafter assist in understanding the current situation of the MEP system, and post that if there is any changes required in the existing design the same can be initiated. It is often seen that in the old buildings there is a lot of issues that seem to be in the area of plumbing and drainage. Since, there can be damage in these areas, it is for sure that there is a requirement of repair on those areas. Thus, these as-built models mainly comes with the work of maintenance and reconstruction purpose.
