Scan to BIM· LOD 200 / LOD 300
Scan to BIM — as-built Revit model in 72 h per 100 m²
From point cloud to a BIM model your team can actually build on.
We turn an existing building into a BIM model you can open directly in Revit or ArchiCAD. Laser scanning on site, point cloud registration, then modelling at LOD 200 or LOD 300 depending on your brief. Delivered in 72 hours per 100 m², with the registered point cloud so you can check every dimension yourself.
Why GUYENNE ÉTUDES for scan to bim
- Millimetre accuracy — the model reflects the building as it stands, not as it was drawn
- Point cloud always delivered alongside the model, so nothing is taken on trust
- Working since 2016 from Paris and Toulouse, on site anywhere in France
- Fixed price per m², quoted online before we set foot on site
What you receive
- Native Revit model (.rvt), 2021 to 2026
- Native ArchiCAD model (.pln), versions 25 to 28
- IFC export for openBIM workflows
- Registered point cloud (.e57 / .rcp)
- 2D plans, sections and elevations in DWG
Typical projects
- Refurbishment of an existing building with no reliable drawings
- Structural assessment before heavy renovation
- Extension or rooftop addition requiring exact as-built geometry
- Heritage building recorded before restoration works
- Coordination model for MEP retrofit

What is Scan to BIM exactly?
A laser scanner records the building as a dense point cloud. That cloud is registered, cleaned, then modelled into BIM objects — walls, slabs, openings, structure — at the level of detail you need. The result is a model that matches the real building rather than an assumed geometry.
Do you work with clients based outside France?
Yes. A significant part of our work comes from architects and developers who need a French building surveyed while they are based elsewhere. Everything after the site visit is remote: files, review rounds and delivery all happen online, in English.
What LOD should I ask for?
LOD 200 is enough for early design and feasibility. LOD 300 is what most contractors and MEP engineers need for coordination. If you are unsure, tell us the downstream use and we will recommend the level rather than overselling one.
How long does it take?
72 hours per 100 m² for the modelling, once the site visit is done. Larger or more complex buildings scale from there. We give a firm date with the quote.
