Three services, one workflow
Scan to CAD
2D linework, dimensioned drawings, or fully superimposed as-built documentation — three levels of detail, DWG/DXF.
Explore Scan to CAD →Scan to Model
A clean 3D mesh or surface model for visualization, coordination review, or reverse engineering — not a full BIM build.
Explore Scan to Model →Scan to BIM
Coordination- or fabrication-grade Revit/IFC models, LOD 200–500, MEP-aware — sized to the design phase you're in.

How the three compare
| Service | Format | Typical turnaround | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scan to CAD | DWG / DXF | 3 days – 3 weeks | 2D documentation, quantity takeoff, permitting |
| Scan to Model | OBJ / FBX / STEP | 3 days – 4 weeks | Visualization, coordination review, reverse engineering |
| Scan to BIM | RVT / IFC | 5 days – 5 weeks | Design coordination, MEP fabrication, construction-ready detail |
One capture, three outputs
The same point cloud becomes any of the three
Every service starts from the same Leica Total Station + FARO Focus capture. Nothing about the site visit changes based on which deliverable you choose — only how far we take the processing afterward. That's what lets a Scan to CAD drawing become a full Scan to BIM model later, from the same capture, without a second site visit.
FAQ
Services — frequently asked
How do I know which of the three services I need?
Tell us what the deliverable has to support — quantity takeoff, coordination, or fabrication — and we'll recommend CAD, Model, or BIM on the call; you don't have to decide alone.
Can I start with one service and upgrade later?
Yes — because the underlying point cloud doesn't change, a Scan to CAD or Scan to Model deliverable can be processed into a full BIM model later without a second site visit.
Do all three services use the same capture process?
Yes — a Leica Total Station control network plus FARO laser scanning, every time; only the processing after capture differs by service.
Which service is fastest to deliver?
A Level 1 Scan to CAD linework survey or a Tier 1 Scan to Model visualization mesh are typically the fastest — see each service page's turnaround table.
Do you offer a combined package across two services?
Yes — a single capture can be processed into more than one deliverable, e.g. a CAD drawing plus a visualization mesh; ask for a combined quote.
