Scan-to-BIM Modeling. Point Cloud to Fabrication-Ready Revit.
We turn raw LiDAR point cloud data into precise, fabrication-ready Revit models. Whether your team has captured the site or you need a scan coordinated through our local partners, we build the as-built BIM model that turns point clouds into a single source of truth.
Design drawings are just a theory.
How scan-to-BIM eliminates field error.
Tesseract delivers Scan-to-BIM modeling services across Vancouver, Coquitlam, and Western Canada — converting LiDAR point cloud data into precise, fabrication-ready Revit models. Hidden site conditions and construction variances are the primary causes of fabrication errors. Modeling from scan data gives you the ground truth — letting your team design and detail with total spatial confidence, no guesswork on slab deflection, column position, or wall plumb.
SCAN ACCURACY
NavVis VLX class equipment — scanner specification at point of capture.
AS-BUILT MODEL TOLERANCE
Our as-built Revit models are accurate to ±5–10mm relative to the registered point cloud.
MODEL DETAIL DELIVERED
Right LOD scoped to your downstream design or fabrication workflow.
POINT CLOUD REGISTRATION
Typical registration and cleanup turnaround, depending on dataset size and quality.

From Cloud to Model
Data Intake + Audit
We receive your raw scan data (RCP, RCS, E57, etc.). We audit the point cloud for density, coverage, and registration accuracy before modeling begins.
Registration + Cleanup
If required, we refine the registration and clean up noise in the point cloud to ensure the digital 'ghost' of the building is perfectly sharp.
Parametric Modeling
Our team builds the Revit model directly over the cloud data. We don't 'guess'—every wall, mullion, and slab is snapped to the actual site reality.
Verification + Export
The finished BIM model is verified against the cloud. We deliver clean, light-weight Revit files or CAD/IFC exports ready for your design team.

PROJECT STUDY
New Westminster, BC
A landmark waterfront development by Bosa Development. To navigate the complex geometry of the podium and daycare building, we utilized raw site 3D scans to generate precise cladding fabrication drawings. This Scan-to-BIM workflow ensured perfect as-built accuracy for the stone cladding installation sequencing and custom curtain wall systems, allowing the fabricator to manufacture with total spatial confidence.

Questions Frequently Asked
We don't handle the scanning ourselves. Most projects begin with point cloud data provided by the client. When a fresh scan is needed, we coordinate with our trusted local scanning partners and integrate their captured data directly into our modeling workflow.
