Precision is paramount in the architecture, engineering, and construction sectors. As-built modeling is a cornerstone in achieving such precision.

The Evolution of As-Built Modeling Techniques

In order to lay the groundwork for a successful renovation project, each and every building measurement must be precise. Why is it such a big deal?

Why Accurate Building Measurement Services Matter

Scan-to-BIM services help architects, engineers, and contractors ensure accurate building details. What can you expect from using this technology?

3D laser scanning via LiDAR technology allows AAB to document the existing conditions of any project, regardless of complexity with millimeter precision. By strategically moving our scanners throughout a jobsite and collecting millions of individual data points, we can render a precise 3D point cloud of any space. Our custom scanning solutions even allow us to survey areas that many won’t consider, such as crawlspaces, attics, interstitial spaces, and subsurface areas. Simply put, if our equipment can see it, we can most certainly measure it. Below, we’ve detailed the 3D laser scanning services offered by our company:

Do you have subsurface areas in need of inspection? Traditional inspections result in limited measurements with many areas being inaccessible altogether. We can provide the full picture far more quickly and safely with our custom LiDAR scanning solutions. Shafts, manholes, catch basins, confined spaces, and storage tanks may all be remotely inspected in 3D with incredible accuracy.

If 2D plans don't cut it, we can also supply your as-builts as a 3D building modelregardless of property type. These 3D models are often referred to as building information models aka “BIM”. AAB offers BIM as-builts in Revit RVT format for any level of development in your choice of LOD 200-350, LOD 300 being our standard. As with our 2D plans, Revit models are accompanied by a PDF file, photo documentation, and a complimentary paper copy of the applicable sheet layouts for your records. Read on to find out how Apex As-Builts’ scan-to-BIM services in Southern California can benefit your business.

It’s all too common that if you have any plans, they are in the form of paper prints or a pdf/image scan. Often times, they’re in rough shape, illegible, or simply unusable in their present condition; but in many cases our team can convert them to a clean, usable AutoCAD format, sometimes even Revit should they be sufficiently detailed. Of course, this gives you the ability to have an editable file that you can easily work with, not to mention clearing out stacks of paper taking up valuable space in your office!
