Think You Know Scan to BIM? Let’s Go Beyond the Basics

For decades, BIM and GIS have handled different parts of the built environment. Building data stayed in CAD and BIM systems, while geographic data stayed in GIS. Connecting the two has remained difficult, even as organizations increasingly need both. This webinar looks at how that separation developed and where the industry stands today. Juan B. Plaza draws on his work with Autodesk, Trimble, GIS, and photogrammetry to examine the history of BIM and why CAD and GIS will need to work together more closely. What You'll Learn Why Autodesk introduced BIM and how the concept developed. How early teams tried to connect GIS with CAD. Where those early integration efforts ran into problems. Why BIM and GIS now need to work together. What a connected CAD and GIS future could mean for digital twins.

How much should you expect to pay for a Scan to BIM project, and how long will it take? The answer depends on more than the size of your building. LOD, modeling scope, disciplines, point cloud quality, and delivery requirements can all affect cost and timelines. In this live session, Chirag Sharma, Production Delivery Head at ScantoBIM.Online, will walk through a real project and show how these factors shape both. You will also see the Scan to BIM Project Estimator tool in action: from entering project requirements to generating an estimated project cost and delivery timeline. The session offers a practical look at how production teams assess Scan to BIM projects before preparing a quotation. What You'll Learn Get a practical view of the factors that influence Scan to BIM estimates and delivery schedules. You’ll learn: What factors influence Scan to BIM project cost How project size and building type affect the estimate How LOD and modeling scope affect project effort How architectural, structural, and MEP requirements affect pricing Why point cloud quality and project data matter How production teams estimate delivery timelines How changing project requirements can change the estimate How our Scan to BIM Instant Quote Tool works with a live project example

Reality capture projects can fall behind before fieldwork even begins. Choosing the wrong surveying method leads to extra site visits, missed deadlines, and costly rework. Many teams struggle to balance speed and accuracy because every project has different requirements. This webinar explains when traditional laser scanning works best, where SLAM-based mobile mapping delivers better results, and how both technologies can work together. You will also see a real project example and learn a practical decision-making framework for selecting the right capture method before mobilizing your survey crew. What You'll Learn Gain practical insights to choose the right reality capture technology, improve field productivity, and reduce avoidable rework. ✅ Understand the Reality Capture Tradeoff Learn why no single reality capture method fits every project and what factors influence the right choice. ✅ Laser Scanning vs. SLAM-Based Mobile Mapping Compare both technologies based on accuracy, speed, site conditions, and project requirements. ✅ Choose the Right Tool Before Fieldwork Follow a practical framework to select the best surveying approach before mobilizing your team. ✅ Reduce Rework Through Better Planning Identify common mistakes that lead to repeat site visits and learn how to prevent them. ✅ Real Project Walkthrough See how an occupied site survey was completed in half a day instead of five days while meeting required tolerances. ✅ QA/QC for Reliable Survey Results Understand how validation workflows help verify data quality and maintain confidence in project deliverables.

Accurate as-built documentation is the backbone of every successful construction project. Yet gaps between existing conditions and design intent continue to cause costly rework, delays, and miscommunication across teams. In this one-hour webinar, we bring together scanning experts to show you exactly how laser scanning technology is being applied on real-world construction projects today. From verifying existing conditions before work begins to confirming installations match design specifications, you'll walk away with practical knowledge you can apply immediately and the confidence to choose the right scanning method for every situation. What You Will Learn Whether you're new to laser scanning or looking to expand how your team uses scan data, this session covers the full spectrum, from capture to deliverable. Select the Right Scanning Method for Every Job: Understand the key differences between terrestrial LiDAR, SLAM LiDAR, and 3D Gaussian Splats and know when to use each one based on accuracy requirements, project timelines, and deliverable type. Verify Existing Conditions & Design Intent: Discover how scan data is used as a quality control overlay, allowing teams to compare existing field conditions against design models and catch discrepancies before they become expensive problems. Improve As-Built BIM Models: Learn how different capture methods feed into the creation of reliable, highly accurate BIM models across a range of building elements and project phases. Collaborate Across Project Teams: Get practical guidance on how to communicate and share scan data effectively with Owners, Designers, and Contractors so everyone is working from the same ground truth.

Reality capture has traditionally been viewed as complex, expensive, and dependent on highly specialized teams. Today, that barrier is rapidly disappearing. With modern tools like Cupix, architects, engineers, and construction professionals can capture site reality faster, easier, and with far less friction than ever before. This webinar is designed for decision-makers who want to understand how reality capture can be democratized, without sacrificing accuracy, usability, or downstream Scan to BIM outcomes. What This Webinar Will Cover How easy reality capture really is today Learn how you can capture immersive virtual tours and 3D point clouds without extensive training or heavy equipment, and what that means for faster site documentation. Real-world examples with Cupix See what project teams across the AEC industry have already accomplished using Cupix; from construction tracking to reliable as-built data for BIM workflows. Where Cupix fits in a Scan to BIM workflow Understand the value of Cupix as a complementary layer in your Scan to BIM solution, helping teams bridge the gap between site reality and accurate BIM deliverables.
