Point Cloud Modeling: 5 Reasons Why Scan to BIM Important for Contractors

Point cloud modeling empowers general contractors with the right tools to conduct detailed building analysis and identify discrepancies between as-built and as-designed models. The detailed insights enable informed and smarter construction decisions.

Soaring renovation costs by up to 50% in the last decade has compelled contractors to walk a tight rope on resource utilization. Whether it is renovation, conservation or restoration of buildings, cost and time overruns are suicidal. The need to preserve aesthetic and structural value for as-built structures further adds to the challenges.

A 360 degree visualization of the entire renovation area with a detailed and accurate building assessment gives clarity of scope and specifications and paves the way for minimal iterations. Contractors today are increasingly relying on point cloud technology to drive high quality, resource- optimized restoration and renovation projects for as-built conditions.
