STEP I: 3D LASER SCANNING
The BuildEXT team performs on-site 3D laser scanning to create an (even realistically colored) multi-point cloud of the facility. The building is documented with photos, too.
STEP II: ANALYSE AND PROCESS DATA
We process the point cloud then we create the building’s BIM model and load data into it in Autodesk Revit based on pre-agreed specifications and needs.



STEP III: BIM UTILIZATION
We create realistic and accurate documentation of the building (reverse engineering), making the BIM model easy to understand and versatile. It can be used for redesigns, facility management, renovations, extensions, or model-based construction inspections, among other things.

CASE STUDY
DIGITALIZATION
We carried out the complete digitalization of the building on an area of 9,400 m2, with an accuracy of 1.5-5 cm, using a scanner. We walked around the building and created 800 scanning stations, networked the floors with more than 8 billion laser points, and stored 600 GB of data to get to the end of the project. With the help of information stored in the digital twin, the goal was better space management, more economical remodeling, streamlined preventive maintenance, easier release, and increasing the overall value of the building.

Case study
MONITORING THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN AN ARIZONA STADIUM
We conducted a comparative analysis of electrical equipment, conduits, and cabling (fact-plan discrepancies analysis) of a 12,000-seat stadium in Scottsdale, Arizona, to track deployment for one of the largest electrical contractors in the United States.
