Scan to BIM Model Delivered for Wells Fargo Business Branch

Key Challenges

• High Precision Requirement:

The client expected a highly detailed and dimensionally accurate model of both the interior and exterior, reflecting the true as-built condition.

• Complex Input Set:

Inputs came from multiple sources- point cloud scans, a virtual walkthrough, and schematic PDFs- demanding careful coordination and verification.

• Commercial Facility Standards:

The project had to comply with typical business occupancy standards (Group B), requiring clear representation of office zones, customer service areas, back-office spaces, and access points.

• Legacy Construction Elements:

Several components in the building predated digital documentation and required careful interpretation during modeling.

Approaches and Solutions

• Point Cloud Integration in Revit:

The team imported the point cloud data directly into Revit to capture spatial accuracy.

• Modeling from Multiple Sources:

The virtual tour and schematic PDFs were referenced to model elements not clearly visible in the scans, ensuring no design gaps.

• LOD 300 Modeling:

A Level of Development 300 model was developed, accurately capturing walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors, and external elements.

• Model Coordination and QA:

Multiple rounds of internal reviews were conducted to align with business occupancy use cases and verify geometric fidelity.
