Laminar Flow AIWorkflow · FastBIM
A Draft BIM starter model, from the same reviewed scan.
Scan to Draft BIM carries a reviewed point cloud through to a Revit/IFC model with walls, openings and storey structure placed — a running start for your modelling team, not a finished deliverable.
What's included
- • Walls and openings placed as Revit/IFC families
- • Storey structure carried through from the reviewed floor plan
- • Everything included in Scan to Building Plan and Scan to CAD
What it's not
Draft BIM is a starting point, not a delivery-ready model. MEP systems, structural detailing and family-level finishing are not included — a modelling team still needs to take this into Revit and complete it before construction use. We'd rather say that plainly than have you find out later.
Process
Three steps, start to finish
Upload
Drag and drop your registered point cloud, or carry forward a scan already processed through Scan to Building Plan or Scan to CAD.
AI processing
Walls and openings are vectorised and placed as Revit/IFC families, storey by storey.
Review & export
A CAD technician confirms every placed element against the point cloud before the starter model is released.
Portfolio & bulk
Modelling more than one building?
For portfolios and multi-building programmes, we can align Draft BIM delivery with your modelling team's schedule. Book a call to scope it.
Book AppointmentFAQ
Scan to Draft BIM, specifically
Is this model ready to build from?
No. It's a starting point — walls, openings and storey structure placed — that removes the slowest part of starting a Revit model from scratch. A modelling team still needs to finish it before it's used for construction.
Does it include MEP?
Not currently. Draft BIM covers architectural elements only — walls, openings and storey structure. MEP coordination happens after handoff, on top of the starter model.
Can I go straight to Draft BIM without ordering Scan to Building Plan first?
Yes — upload your point cloud and choose Draft BIM as your output tier directly. The same review pipeline runs underneath either way.
