From Pointcloud to BIM for planned maintenance of high-rise buildings

BIM and 3D laser scanning for the planned maintenance of high-rise buildings. Minimal inconvenience, maximum result through smart use of current and accurate real estate data. Especially in the case of renovation and maintenance of high-rise buildings, extremely tight planning is important because many activities are related. A delay in one home often causes delays in the subsequent homes. Contractors want to run at a high speed because otherwise residents will be in trouble for too long.

Exceptionally good preparation is therefore a prerequisite.

In order to be able to continue working in a fixed rhythm, with as little inconvenience to the residents as possible, the basis must first be good. Good preparation is crucial. The whole process must be predictable with clear planning.

Our client has chosen to work with an accurate 3D BIM model for the maintenance and management of a gallery flat with 144 apartments. For this purpose, we have used a 3D laser scanner to map the existing situation of the general rooms and facades as well as the various apartment types. Our modellers then converted the measurement data (point cloud) in combination with the existing CAD drawings into a BIM model.

The preparations and work can now be based on up-to-date and accurate information. The 3D model can also be used to optimise communication with all parties involved.
