Scan to BIM
In today’s construction landscape—where precision, speed, and digital collaboration are no longer optional - Scan to BIM has emerged as a game-changer for real estate developers, contractors, architects, and infrastructure owners alike.
At Inkers Technologies, we help you harness the power of Scan to BIM to streamline your workflows, reduce rework, and gain accurate, data-rich insights into your built assets.
Whether you're planning a renovation, executing a retrofit, or auditing large-scale infrastructure, this guide explains everything you need to know about Scan to BIM—and how it can unlock long-term value for your projects.

Scan to BIM (Scanning to Building Information Modeling) is the process of digitally capturing a building or infrastructure site using our own patented LITHIC PRO scanner and converting that data into an intelligent BIM model.
This model reflects architectural, structural, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) elements, delivering a highly accurate, true-to-life digital twin of the existing environment.
Unlike manual surveys or outdated 2D drawings, Scan to BIM gives you a precise, up-to-date foundation for planning, designing, and managing construction or renovation projects.
How Scan to BIM Works: Our Proven Process
At Inkers Technologies, we follow a streamlined, end-to-end workflow for Scan to BIM delivery:
We deploy our high-precision LITHIC PRO scanner and drone mapping tools to capture millions of spatial data points—creating a comprehensive point cloud of the site.
Our AI-powered software processes the raw scan data, removing noise, aligning scans, and preparing structured geometry ready for modeling.
Our BIM specialists use platforms such as Revit, Navisworks, and AutoCAD to convert point clouds into precise 3D models. Depending on your requirements, we deliver models with Levels of Detail (LOD) ranging from 200 to 500.
We conduct a rigorous QA/QC process to verify model accuracy against the point cloud—resolving discrepancies and ensuring completeness before delivery.

Why Scan to BIM Matters for Your Project
Scan to BIM serves as a bridge between the physical world and digital modeling—enabling smarter planning, accurate documentation, and better decision-making at every project stage.
Key Benefits:
Eliminate guesswork. Replace outdated 2D drawings with millimeter-accurate digital records—ideal for renovation, retrofit, and compliance.
Start with verified data to detect clashes early, align design intent with reality, and minimize costly rework.
Digitize older buildings with minimal documentation to create a reliable foundation for redesign or expansion.
Use BIM models to track assets, optimize space, and plan maintenance with greater efficiency.
Leverage Scan to BIM as the first step toward a Digital Twin—enabling predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, and lifecycle optimization.
