ES Outsourcing specializes in converting high-density point cloud data obtained using LiDAR or 3D laser scanning into accurate Revit-ready BIM models customized for LOD 200 up to LOD 400 specifications. Our point cloud modeling services facilitate comprehensive architectural, structural, and MEP workflows, providing accurate 2D plans, elevations, and section views derived from registered scan data.
Serving clients across the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Europe for over a decade, ES Outsourcing utilizes ISO 19650-compliant processes and a Common Data Environment (CDE) methodology to drive consistency, traceability, and version control for complete information access of all deliverables. From retrofit and as-built documentation to facility management and renovation planning, our Scan to BIM solutions are engineered to eliminate rework, minimize project errors, and enhance model reliability through quality-assured, standardized processes.
Comprehensive Scan to BIM and Point Cloud Modeling Capabilities
ES Outsourcing has made it easier to outsource Point Cloud services with its wide range of Scan to BIM solutions. We offer services adhering to ISO, ANSI, BS 8888, and CSA standards for the construction industry and related professions.
Our capabilities include:
Architectural BIM Modeling from Point Clouds
We create accurate architectural BIM models from registered scan data, detailing walls, floors, roofs, doors, windows, and internal partitions. Outputs support renovation planning, space utilization analysis, and project visualization with precise Levels of Detail (LOD 200 to 400) based on project requirements.
Structural BIM Modeling from Point Clouds
We extract load-bearing elements such as beams, slabs, trusses, columns, and foundations from point cloud data. Our models support structural performance evaluations, clash detection, and coordination with other disciplines.
MEP BIM Modeling from Point Clouds
We convert point cloud data into coordinated MEP models including HVAC systems, pipe layouts, electrical conduits, and equipment location—ensuring seamless integration with architectural and structural models.
2D Drawing Extraction from BIM
From the BIM models, we generate 2D documentation including floor plans, elevations, cross-sections, and reflected ceiling plans—formatted for permitting, construction documentation, and stakeholder collaboration.
Terrain and Topographic Modeling
Using LiDAR and drone scan data, we develop terrain surfaces and contour maps for grading, drainage planning, and infrastructure development.
Heritage and As-Built BIM Modeling
We digitally reconstruct historical structures and document existing conditions using point cloud data. These models are ideal for accurate restoration, retrofitting, and long-term heritage asset management.
Scan Registration and Point Cloud Cleanup
We register scan data, remove noise, and optimize point clouds to ensure clean, usable datasets for efficient BIM model development.
