Reality Capture for Existing Facilities
Scan to BIM & Point Cloud to BIM Services
IBS Projects is a Sri Lanka based BIM delivery team supporting Scan to BIM and Point Cloud to BIM workflows for project teams across the UAE, Australia and Europe, turning 3D laser scan information into accurate existing condition and as built models for refurbishment, coordination, documentation and facility operations. Published project experience includes airport Scan-to-BIM delivery in Sri Lanka and point-cloud-based as-built modelling for a large industrial steel facility in Germany.
Our Capabilities
From Raw Survey Data to Project Ready BIM.
Capture existing conditions once, then use the coordinated digital information across design, renovation and handover workflows.
Point cloud registration and cleanup
Point Cloud to BIM from LOD 100 to 500
Existing building documentation
Architectural, structural and MEP modelling
As built BIM development
Clash detection and coordination
Digital twin model preparation
Benefits
Reliable Existing Condition Data for Better Decisions.
Point cloud workflows help teams work from a clearer record of what is already built, reducing uncertainty before design and coordination work advances.

International Scan-to-BIM Experience
Industrial Steel Facility, Germany
Approx. 350 m × 35 m · Point Cloud to Revit · As-Built BIM
IBS Projects used point-cloud information as the existing-condition reference for a large industrial steel facility in Germany, reconstructing the existing steel structure in Revit and developing accurate structural geometry for coordinated BIM review.

Industrial Scan-to-BIM
Point Cloud to BIM for Large Industrial Facilities
Large existing steel environments can be difficult to understand from raw scan data alone. Converting captured geometry into structured Revit information creates a clearer digital representation for existing-condition review, steel reconstruction and BIM coordination while keeping the supplied reality-capture information at the centre of the modelling process.
Survey to Model
See the Reality Capture Workflow.
Three stages show the progression from field capture to scan information and the final coordinated BIM environment.
01
LiDAR Scanning Time
On site laser scanning captures the existing facility before modelling begins.
02
Scanning File
Registered scan information provides the spatial reference used to reconstruct building systems.
03
NWC File After Modeling
The processed survey is developed into a clear, coordinated digital building model for project use.
This workflow is reflected across different facility types in the IBS Projects portfolio: the BIA terminal demonstrates reality-capture delivery in an operational airport environment, while the Germany industrial steel facility demonstrates point-cloud-based reconstruction of a large existing steel structure in Revit.
