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.

“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.”
