Maximize Accuracy with Scan to BIM Modeling for Your Next Construction Project

Getting accurate measurements and streamlining workflows is key to any construction or renovation project. That is where Scan to BIM Modeling comes in. This approach combines advanced 3D scanning with Building Information Modeling (BIM) to create detailed, data-rich models. Let’s look at how Scan to BIM services can help make your next project more efficient and precise.

What Is Scan to BIM?

Scan to BIM is a process where 3D laser scanners capture the exact details of a building or site. These scans produce a point cloud, which is then turned into a digital BIM model. The model includes accurate dimensions, relationships between elements, and loads of useful data. This makes it ideal for designing, renovating, or restoring projects.

For example, whether you are working on a residential project or a commercial project, this technology provides an accurate visual and data-based representation of the site. It is perfect for architects creating new designs or contractors managing renovations.

Why Use Scan to BIM Services?

1. Precise Measurements

Measuring by hand can be tricky and prone to mistakes. With 3D scan to BIM, you get precise measurements; down to the millimeter. This reduces errors and minimizes the risk of redoing work during construction.

2. Simplifies Collaboration

A complete digital twin of the project allows architects, engineers, and contractors to work off the same page. It makes coordination easier and speeds up decision-making.

3. Great for Renovations and Restorations

For renovation projects, having an accurate model of the existing structure is a huge help. It shows you exactly what’s already there and flags potential issues before you start. For restoration projects, it helps keep the building’s original design intact while incorporating updates.

4. Better Designs

A detailed BIM model highlights clashes and inconsistencies early on. For instance, if you’re adding an extension to a home, the model shows conflicts between old and new structures so you can fix them before building begins.

5. Saves Time and Money

Scan to BIM services can also save you time and money through minimizing errors and better planning. The contractor is able to make the right plan for material consumption while saving it from wastage.

6. Works for All Kinds of Projects

Whether it is a residential home, a commercial building, or even an industrial facility, Scan to BIM modeling can handle it. Its flexibility makes it a smart choice for a wide range of projects.

How Does Scan to BIM Work?

Here’s how it usually works:

Site Scanning: 3D laser scanners collect detailed data from the site, creating a high resolution point cloud.

Point Cloud Processing: The data is cleaned up to remove errors and inconsistencies.

BIM Model Creation: The cleaned data is turned into a digital BIM model, including details like structural components, MEP systems, and architecture.

Model Review: The finished BIM model is checked for accuracy and is ready to use for design, construction, or planning.

Point cloud data captured by laser scanners can have inaccuracies when used for renovation projects. BIM modeling helps address these issues by allowing the creation of precise 3D models. The models can then be compared to point clouds to identify and correct discrepancies.

The floor is paused cause I did the math wrong and need to order more stickers but I think it's much nicer now. Frog bathroom will be what fixes me.

I'm trying to catch up with all the BL news I missed (which apparently was quite a lot) so I thought I'd make a quick post about it to put my thoughts in order:

First up is the trailer for The Renovation, a two-episode series about a writer, Pee, who turns his blossoming romance with holiday resort owner Arthit into the plot for his new novel (which goes over about exactly as well as you might expect). This drops on 14 & 21 December on One31 (so no official inter release yet).

Then there's a teaser for Rearrange, a high school band BL with a time travel twist and a what looks to be a GL side couple. And apparently the bad boy bassist and the nerdy drummer get together too which is exactly how things should be.

Next up, Boxer the Series (which is not the same as Boxer in Heart - another BL that was quietly cancelled in pre-production) have announced their cast with some familiar faces: Time Obnithi (The Whisperer, Bad Guy My Boss), Team Tatchanon (Twins), David Matthew Roberts (The Hidden Moon), Beboy Nanthakorn (who hopefully finally escaped from 9NAA) & Guide Piyawat (will be in The Hell Guard).

2025 might finally be the year of Muay Thai BL. 🤞

I have no idea if Hidden is a BL but it stars Tong Thanayut (as Kris) and it will release on youtube on 3 December. The plot certainly sounds intriguing (and messy):

On the night of Ten's birthday party, Ten, Kris, Pheem, and Prao find out about someone hiring Korn to secretly take pictures of Pheem. To figure out the truth, Kris and Pheem decide to hire Korn to take pictures at Ten's birthday party.

Director Golf Tanwarin's next series Love Like a Bike will apparently be exactly that: lots of couples and lots of bikes - and I most definitely appreciate it.

The series will star Masu Junyangdikul (who's kind of a big deal but it's his first BL role afaik) and Tee Thanapon (2 Moons, Triage), Win Thanat and Danny Luciano (The Loyal Pin), and Ta Nannakun (Kinnporsche, DFF) and Nanon Ruangdet (I love how everyone just copied the hashtags and I had to go on a whole google journey to find out their names).

The series is set around Nueng, a psychiatrist (a psychiatrist? in my BL??), and Sailom, a student suffering from a fear of being touched (played by Masu & Tee).

And then finally there's Eyes on You, a co-production between Hong Kong and Thailand (but filmed in Bangkok with a Thai cast) whose pilot will be unveiled on 27 November.

The plot summary on MDL sounds amazing tbh:

Two years ago, Just abandoned his law studies and severed ties with Rule to uncover the truth behind his parents' murder. Two years later, Rule, now a lawyer and still haunted by Just's disappearance, finally tracks him down to a seedy Gogo Bar, only to find him embroiled in a deadly feud with the Kung gang. But Just isn't alone. The bar is a haven for those consumed by vengeance: Salt, the security guard who always has a bloody smell, the runaway teen Tiger, and Ice, the ruthless madam running sexual business for the gang. Each carries the scent of violence, a simmering powder keg waiting to explode. Are you ready to descend into their dark, bloody, and tear-soaked path to retribution?

And that's it - except for the ThamePo trailer which everyone but me has already watched (I'll get to it right after posting this).

While waiting for paint to dry in the other bathroom renovation upstairs, I started wallpapering the bathroom downstairs. It is cute as hell, if I do say so myself.

After two years in this house we're finally doing the DIY project I've wanted to do since before we closed.

The kitchen in Rhombus house was last updated in exactly 1990. It features knobless honey oak cabinets, a Styrofoam tile drop ceiling, florescent lights, a sad and cracked yellow and beige vinyl floor, and, my personal top pet peeve, a badly chipped warm beige laminate countertop.

But new countertops are VERY expensive and we spent all our money on insulation and windows with fancy features like being able to close all the way.

But the countertops are so sad and chipped and pathetic that it's kind of like...we can't really make them worse, you know? And there's a freedom in that.

So, last year, we got a fancy white concrete skimcoat mix, and bits of colored recycled glass to add some shimmer. It was incredibly cheap. Like $100. Now we have finally secured childcare and means of keeping cats out of the kitchen.

I wouldn't do a poured concrete countertop because my sister had one in her house and after a decade it warped so badly you could get your whole hand under the hump.

But we're gonna try this skimcoat, then sand it, then seal it.

Because, again, we can't really make the countertops any worse.

Plus, I got a bigass white enamel farmhouse sink for free on craigslist we can put in.

Will report back.

What if I wrote an entirely self-indulgent self-insert tradesman 141 x transmasc reader fic where you've hired them to help you renovate a cool old church to live in and also want them to teach you how to build and fix stuff? And what if so many of the companies you talked to where like "No, we don't want some soft little man getting in the way of work." What if you were just about ready to give up and start trying to fix things with youtube tutorials and hope? What if John Price's 141 Construction and Renovations was the last company you called up and they came out for a consult and instead of scoffing at your ask they agreed? What if they all looked at you like you were edible and said that they couldn't wait to get you working under them? What then.

One side of the kitchen is finally done being updated!

I’m so proud of those damn doors 😭

[ahedderick]

There isn't a lot of painted wall in the basement; one wall is pine paneling and a couple are stone. However, the painted parts along the stairs were finished in 2008, so that paint is looking a little ragged. Plenty of small-kid handprints throughout the years, a crayon here and there, plus general grime. Time for new paint.

God bless masking tape.

So clean and new-looking! Hopefully the man will also add in that missing piece of baseboard molding under the window. That fake stained glass, by the way, was a very worthwhile project. It's a type of paint that comes in squeeze bottles. While it took a while, particularly the stiff, gloopy black part that makes the lines, the results are pretty good and it hasn't 'aged' or gotten marred in any way since we installed it.

He loves her so much. Poor Balu and his one sided romance.

Slowly but surely, I will have my 1950's inspired kitchen cabinets. DIY is slow and my perfectionist mentality makes it difficult to move past the natural flaws that come with the process.
