Services · Scan to BIM

Scan to BIM services, processed by surveyors, not draftsmen.

Your crew captured the site just fine. The backlog is in the modeling. Send us the point clouds and we turn them into BIM models in your families and template, at the LOD your client's spec calls for. We have run LiDAR jobs from the field for over a decade, so registration and control problems get caught here, not by your client. The goal is a model that passes their QA the first time.

Send us a small area from a real job. We model it at no cost, and you get a capped quote for the rest in one to two business days.

How it works.

  1. Send your scans.
  2. We model a sample area at no cost.
  3. You get a capped quote in 1 to 2 business days.
  4. We model in your template. Revisions until your client accepts it sit inside the cap.

A BIM model your client can use.

Item On the file
Your families and template We build inside your family library, project template, naming and worksets. The model lands the way your office already works.
LOD 100 through 500 Early massing through dense LOD 400 and 500 MEP coordination, whatever the spec actually requires, not whichever is fastest for us.
QA before you see it Internal review on registration accuracy, geometry and family use before the file leaves us.
Revisions inside the cap If your client's review catches something we missed, the correction sits in the engagement we already quoted.
Under your name, if you want We can work white-label: the model goes out in your template and under your name, and we never contact your client.
File formats RVT project files and RFA families, built in your template.

Quoted in hours. Billed on actuals. Capped at the quote.

What survey firms ask us first.

We have been burned by offshore modeling before. Why is this different?

Fair question, and a common one. Our processing team works alongside a full-scope LiDAR survey operation, field acquisition through delivery, so the people modeling your scans understand what happened in the field. Registration issues, control problems and bad scans get flagged at intake, not after we have modeled against them. And we stay through your client's review: revisions until it is accepted, inside the quoted cap.

Who do we actually talk to?

Us. Fourth State is the US-facing side of the business and owns scoping, communication and QA before anything reaches you. You work with us, not directly with a remote modeling team.

What LOD should I ask for?

LOD 200 to 300 covers most renovation and facilities-documentation work, and LOD 400 is for MEP coordination and clash detection. If you are unsure which applies, tell us what the model will actually be used for and we will recommend the LOD ourselves rather than leave you guessing.

Do you handle MEP modeling?

Yes, at LOD 300 and above where the point cloud supports it. MEP density is one of the bigger drivers of hours on a project like this, and it is priced into the quote up front rather than discovered partway through.
