3D scanning forms the basis for efficient design

We offer precise and realistic digitization of existing buildings, where our team uses 3D scanning to create digital twins that serve as the foundation for efficient design of transformation projects.

By using these technologies, we can identify potential issues early in the design phase, minimize safety risks, and reduce the need for redesigns. This results in time savings and minimizes the need for costly rework, while improving the quality of the final project. Whether it involves renovation, remodeling, or any other type of transformation, we ensure that projects are carried out more efficiently and with greater precision.

DIGITAL TWIN

The 3D scan collects large amounts of data, providing an extremely high level of detail. Our scanner records millions of precise measurement points on the building, which are plotted in a three-dimensional coordinate system. This dataset, also known as a point cloud, is essentially a digital imprint of reality and serves as a precise starting point for recreating the site in either drawings or 3D models.

The point cloud can be easily imported into the industry’s standard design and drafting software and used as a basis for further processing, during which our specialists convert the point cloud into accurate Revit 3D models. Since the model reflects the existing structure with great precision, it can easily serve as a solid foundation for further work on the project. Digital surveying can replace manual measurements and minimize errors, providing a strong foundation for design, documentation, and renovation. When these scans are processed by experienced professionals, they can be converted into professional drawings that benefit the entire project team.

Benefits for all stakeholders in the construction and real estate industries

A complete digital copy, down to every single nut

"A digital twin provides us with a realistic and precise ‘as-built’ foundation, allowing us to design and transform existing buildings with far greater confidence. When we work with 3D scanning and a shared digital model, we can identify errors and challenges early on, reduce redesigns, and avoid costly rework—while also creating documentation that can be used for ongoing operations and maintenance."

Ideal for Transformations

At ABC Consulting Engineers, we specialize in designing the buildings of the future based on our current ones.

This way, we avoid wasting usable building materials, can build more effectively within planetary boundaries, and preserve our cultural heritage at the same time.

But transforming buildings can be challenging. There are many unanswered questions when working with buildings where the documentation isn’t always ideal. This requires extensive preparatory work.

Here, a digital twin provides a comprehensive view of the building, which both reduces uncertainty and creates a solid foundation for making important decisions, serving as a strong basis for the subsequent conceptual, design, and construction phases.
