Techture delivers high-accuracy as-built BIM services across Canada, transforming existing buildings and infrastructure into precise, data-rich digital models. From laser scanning and scan to BIM to digital twins and facility management BIM, every stage is executed with consistency, technical expertise, and a focus on real-world accuracy.
Our delivery process relies on the systematic workflow involving the application of modern scanning techniques and point cloud processing as well as BIM modeling based on particular disciplines. Each project is customized depending on its intended use: renovation, facilities management, or creation of a digital twin.
With a global team of 350+ BIM professionals and 350+ satisfied clients worldwide, Techture combines scale with proven expertise to deliver reliable, high-quality outcomes across diverse project types.
Project scope, available drawings, site conditions, and intended use of deliverables are reviewed. Scanning strategy, LOD requirements, and output formats are confirmed before project mobilisation.
On-site scanning is conducted using appropriate LiDAR or mobile systems.Multiple scan positions are captured and registered to create a complete representation of the site. All scan data is quality-checked before leaving the site.
Raw scan data is processed, cleaned, and registered into a unified, georeferenced point cloud.Coverage completeness is verified against project requirements before modeling begins.
The point cloud is used as the reference to develop Revit models or CAD drawings.Architectural, structural, and MEP systems are modeled to the defined LOD, with deviations from original drawings documented where required.
Deliverables are reviewed against the point cloud and scope before submission.For FM use, asset data and COBie information are added. Final outputs are delivered in Revit, IFC, CAD, or FM-ready formats, with scan data archived for future use.
For architects involved in renovation and refurbishment, having accurate information about the existing building condition is extremely important. Scan-to-BIM services offered by Techture allow for generating reliable as-built models that are based on the actual condition of the building, which makes design decisions much easier and less risky.
Facility managers depend on organized and data-filled as-built BIM models that facilitate facility management operations. Techture provides facility management BIM models complete with data on assets, space, and COBie. It makes it easier for facility managers to do maintenance scheduling, space utilization, and integration with FM software within Canada's buildings.
For business owners and developers who plan on renovation, extension, or upgrading, as-built information that is proven will be critical. Our laser scanning and scan-to-BIM services will ensure certainty through the gathering of correct as-built conditions. This will minimize risks during bidding, cost predictability, and contractor contingencies in Canada.
The general contractor usually needs to provide precise documentation upon completion of the project. Techture assists the construction team in providing the necessary model documentation through up-to-date as-built models and deliverables according to the project specifications. The models and drawings are created according to the client's and authority's expectations.
We work with multiple Design Consultants and offer our BIM solutions
As-Built BIM services include the collection of the actual conditions of a building or an asset and using them to create BIM models or CAD drawings. The BIM models are used for renovation and facility management purposes. Techture provides comprehensive as-built BIM services in Canada, which include laser scanning, scan-to-BIM, scan-to-CAD, facility management BIM, and digital twin creation.
Scan to BIM and scan to CAD begin with a collection of point clouds through laser scanning. Scan to BIM turns this point cloud into a 3D Revit model with smart objects that contain information, and scan to CAD creates accurate 2D drawings in AutoCAD. Scan to BIM is recommended for coordination and facilities management purposes, and scan to CAD works best for smaller projects.
Techture laser scanning services provided in Canada take advantage of state-of-the-art LiDAR technology that ensures the capture of accurate building geometry with an error margin less than 5 mm. As a result, highly accurate point clouds are obtained that depict real-life conditions and not the designer’s vision. High accuracy is particularly crucial for renovation projects where drawings do not correspond to the actual condition.
Techture can provide scan-to-BIM models that are LOD compliant, from LOD 200 to LOD 400, based on the needs of the project. LOD 200 is useful for conceptual and preliminary designs, LOD 300 is used for coordination and permits documentation, and LOD 400 provides fabrication details or facility management information for Canadian projects.
Yes, Techture’s as-built BIM models are designed to facilitate the development of the digital twin. Accurate geometry obtained from scanning forms the base that can be enhanced through the inclusion of assets and linking to IoT systems or building management systems. This would facilitate real-time monitoring and asset management in Canada.
Techture offers as-built BIM and laser scanning services on a wide variety of existing assets, including heritage buildings, commercial buildings, industrial complexes, and infrastructure projects all throughout Canada. The models created using scan data are especially useful for heritage buildings where documentation is incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate.
A scan-to-BIM schedule will vary based on the size and complexity of the building as well as the level of development that is needed. It might take one to two weeks to complete a project that is small and on just one floor, but a medium or multistory building usually takes about three to six weeks.
