Welcome to our site
At Building Dims, Our mission is to provide 3D laser scanning, existing-condition floor plans, as-built drawings and Revit modeling to support renovation planning and building documentation. We work with renovation contractors, interior designers, architects, engineers, and property professionals who need reliable information about existing building conditions.
KNOW THE EXICTING SPACE BEFORE YOU START THE PROJECT.
What we do
1.Laser Scanning
Capture existing building conditions using professional 3D laser scanning. The resulting point cloud provides a detailed digital record of visible surfaces, helping clients plan renovations, coordinate design work, and understand existing building conditions.
The captured point-cloud data allows clients to review the scanned areas and obtain additional measurements remotely, reducing the need for repeated site visits.
2. Existing-Condition Drawings
Produce dimensioned floor plans and other agreed drawings based on site measurements and/or registered scan data.
Available deliverables may include:
-
Dimensioned floor plans
-
Interior elevations
-
Reflected ceiling plans
-
Selected electrical, plumbing and building-feature documentation, where observable and within the agreed scope
Keep your note that concealed components are not verified unless separately investigated.
3. As-Built BIM & Revit Modeling
Convert existing-building information into a 3D Revit model to support renovation planning, design coordination, and visualization. The model's level of detail, included building elements, and required accuracy are agreed upon before work begins.
4.Visualization & Software Training
Provide 3D visualizations to help communicate design concepts and existing spaces.
Online or on-site AutoCAD and Revit training is also available by arrangement.
How we work
1. Understand Your Project:
We discuss your project requirements, site conditions, and intended use of the information to determine the appropriate scanning, measurement, and documentation scope.
2. Capture Existing Conditions:
We use professional 3D laser scanning and supplementary measurements, where needed, to capture the visible features and dimensions of the building.
3. Process the Scan Data:
We process the captured scan data to prepare the information required for your project. Using the registered point cloud and appropriate software, I organize the data and prepare it for existing-condition drawings or 3D modeling, according to the agreed scope.
4. Deliver Your Project Files:
Depending on the agreed scope, We provide registered point-cloud data, dimensioned floor plans, elevations, or 3D Revit models. Digital deliverables can help you review captured building conditions remotely and reduce the need for repeated site visits.
Why we do
1. Remote Access to Measurements
Review captured building conditions and obtain additional measurements remotely, reducing the need for repeated site visits and helping save time and travel costs.
2. Better Understanding of Existing Conditions
Obtain a detailed digital record of visible building conditions to support renovation planning and design decisions.
3. Improved Design Coordination
Use measured existing-condition information to help architects, designers, and contractors coordinate their work around the actual building conditions.
4. Reduced Risk of Costly Errors
Access to reliable existing-building information can help identify discrepancies and potential issues earlier in the planning and design process.
5. Support for 3D Modeling and BIM
Use registered point-cloud data as a reference for creating Revit models and other digital representations of existing buildings.
6. A Reusable Digital Record
Keep a digital record of captured building conditions that can support future renovations, space planning, maintenance, and facility documentation.
Project Scanning & As-Built Documentation
This gallery showcases selected projects using 3D laser scanning to capture existing building conditions. The examples include residential and commercial spaces, mechanical rooms, and areas with complex layouts.
The captured scan data can be used to support existing-condition drawings, renovation planning, design coordination, and 3D modeling, depending on each project's requirements.
