Reality Capture for Existing Facilities

Point Cloud Survey & BIM Modeling

IBS Projects turns laser-scanned survey information into accurate digital models for existing buildings and infrastructure, supporting refurbishment, coordination, documentation and facility operations.

Our Capabilities

From Raw Survey Data to Project-Ready BIM.

Capture existing conditions once, then use the coordinated digital information across design, renovation and handover workflows.

01

3D laser-scan data processing

02

Point-cloud registration and cleanup

03

Point Cloud to BIM from LOD 100–500

04

Existing-building documentation

05

Architectural, structural and MEP modelling

06

As-built BIM development

07

Clash detection and coordination

08

Digital-twin model preparation

Benefits

Reliable Existing-Condition Data for Better Decisions.

Point-cloud workflows help teams work from a clearer record of what is already built, reducing uncertainty before design and coordination work advances.

Accurate existing-condition information
Faster capture of complex facilities
Stronger multidisciplinary coordination
Reliable as-built documentation
Better support for asset management
Lower rework, project risk and cost

Project Experience

Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA), Sri Lanka

Terminal Project

01

Managed scan data for the existing terminal environment.

02

Converted laser-scan information into coordinated BIM and CAD models.

03

Supported renovation planning, engineering review and multidisciplinary coordination.

04

Prepared dependable as-built information for project stakeholders.

Survey to Model

See the Reality-Capture Workflow.

Three stages show the progression from field capture to scan information and the final coordinated BIM environment.

LiDAR Scanning Time

On-site laser scanning captures the existing facility before modelling begins.

NWC File After Modeling

The processed survey is developed into a clear, coordinated digital building model for project use.
