Accurate Data for Existing Buildings
From Scan to Intelligent Model
Planning work in existing buildings often begins with incomplete or outdated drawings. Without reliable spatial documentation, design teams must spend time verifying measurements and resolving unexpected issues during construction.
3D laser scanning captures the precise geometry of a building and creates an accurate digital record that supports design, renovation, and coordination.
NAWI converts spatial data captured through laser scanning into usable digital documentation for architects and engineers.
Deliverables may include:
• Point cloud documentation
• Scan-to-BIM models
• Accurate building geometry
• Digital records of existing conditions
• Spatial data for renovation planning
These models allow project teams to work with reliable information from the earliest stages of design.
The Process
1. Scan the Space
Existing conditions are captured using advanced 3D laser scanning to record precise spatial data.
2. Process the Data
Point cloud data is cleaned, aligned, and prepared for modeling.
3. Build the Model
The data is converted into a BIM model based on project requirements and level of detail.
4. Deliver & Support
Models are delivered in usable formats, with support for project teams as needed.
Start With Accurate Information
Whether documenting an existing building or preparing for renovation planning, NAWI provides the spatial data needed to support confident design decisions.
Supporting Better Design Decisions
Accurate spatial documentation helps project teams:
• Plan renovations with confidence
• Reduce site measurement errors
• Understand complex existing conditions
• Improve collaboration across design teams
The result is better planning, fewer surprises, and more efficient project development.
