LOD explains how detailed, accurate, and build-ready your BIM model is at every stage. As the LOD increases, uncertainty drops—giving you clearer coordination, fewer RFIs, faster approvals, reduced rework, and a smoother, more predictable construction process.
Scan to BIM Services – LOD 100 → Concept (Reality Capture Vision)
Meaning: High-level representation derived from raw point cloud data.
Includes: Simplified building massing generated from scans, showing overall form, floor plates, heights, and primary spatial volumes without detailed elements.
Outcome: Rapid validation of existing conditions, early feasibility checks, spatial understanding, and confident go/no-go decisions before detailed modeling.
Critical Insight: Early scan-based clarity eliminates assumptions that cause costly rework later.
Scan to BIM Services – LOD 200 → Early Design (Schematic Existing Conditions)
Meaning: Organized but still approximate as-built layouts.
Includes: Modeled walls, floors, roofs, columns, slabs, and major openings based on point cloud interpretation, with approximate alignment to scanned geometry.
Outcome: Reliable existing-condition context, improved design decision-making, early clash awareness, and alignment between architects, engineers, and owners.
Critical Insight: Most renovation-stage surprises are avoided here.
Scan to BIM Services – LOD 300 → Detailed Design (Accurate & Measurable As-Built)
Meaning: Precise, measurable model aligned to point cloud accuracy.
Includes: Exact dimensions, verified element locations, true floor levels, wall thicknesses, structural components, and coordinated architectural accuracy suitable for design and coordination.
Outcome: Reduced RFIs, accurate design integration, smoother approvals, and dependable documentation for renovation and retrofit projects.
Critical Insight: This stage prevents the majority of field conflicts in retrofit work.
Scan to BIM Services – LOD 350/400 → Construction-Ready (High-Fidelity As-Built)
Meaning: Highly detailed as-built model suitable for construction and coordination.
Includes: Verified penetrations, embeds, openings, structural interfaces, tolerances, and clear coordination with proposed MEP and structural systems.
Outcome: Confident fabrication coordination, minimal site conflicts, accurate installation planning, and seamless integration of new systems into existing conditions.
Critical Insight: Converts scanned reality into construction-ready certainty.
Scan to BIM Services – LOD 500 → As-Built (Verified Digital Twin)
Meaning: Final, validated digital twin reflecting true field conditions.
Includes: Fully verified geometry, updated changes from construction, precise locations, and documentation aligned with final site conditions.
Outcome: Reliable facilities management, accurate renovations, asset validation, long-term documentation, and reduced lifecycle risk.
Critical Insight: Becomes the owner’s single source of truth for existing assets.
This LOD framework ensures complete clarity, predictable coordination, and zero surprises across design, fabrication, and construction — giving every stakeholder the right information at the right time for faster decisions and smoother project delivery.
Increase production bandwidth, eliminate execution bottlenecks, and scale delivery with
confidence
while protecting margins and maintaining performance standards.
“They saved us $320k by detecting clashes we missed. Our project stayed on budget and ahead of schedule.”
“The 5-Point Audit opened our eyes to inefficiencies costing 12% of staff hours. Fixed in weeks.”
“We avoided $450k in rework costs on a hospital project. Their clash detection was a game-changer.”
“Their audit showed us errors that would have delayed delivery by 3 months. We finished 27% faster instead.”
“We reduced our MEP coordination issues by 40%. That alone saved us $180k on a single project.”
“Our bidding accuracy improved overnight. We now win projects with 20% tighter estimates—with zero margin surprises.”
“The BIM model caught 38 clashes in our structural design. That saved weeks of onsite chaos and $220k+ in labor costs.”
“They helped us save just $55k on a small residential project. But for us, that covered nearly our entire profit margin.”
“Before, we spent months fixing mistakes onsite. With their workflows, we reduced field errors by 60% and saved $500k.”
Strengthen your delivery infrastructure, increase output capacity, and support larger
project pipelines
without expanding your internal workforce.
