BIM/3D Modeling
We create intelligent data through BIM
ARC’s Building Information Modeling (BIM) services support the creation of intelligent data that can be used throughout the building lifecycle.
3D as-built models use the intelligent data collected to create the most accurate structure image. ARC’s BIM services, featuring detailed Revit model data, can support your needs during the planning, design, construction, and operations phases.

LOA certified individuals have demonstrated their understanding of the USIBD’s LOA specification and how to apply its principles to ensure accuracy and precision in the measurement process.
To us, every square foot matters. That’s why our professional employees are trained to follow these standards when working on projects—so you can know that your deliverables are always accurate.
Quick Questions
What is one of the best ways to generate 3D as-built models for buildings?
Scan-to-BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the process that uses 3D laser scanning (LiDAR) to quickly and accurately capture existing conditions, which are then represented using BIM modeling techniques to create a 3D as-built model.
How are 3D as-built models different from traditional 2D record drawings?
3D as-built models provide a comprehensive visual representation of a structure as it was actually built. It has been validated and represents the true existing conditions. On the other hand, traditional 2D record drawings typically present information in a flat 2D manner limiting their usefulness. More importantly, record drawings are rarely updated to represent changes that occurred during and after construction leaving their accuracy questionable. Relying on unvalidated information can be very risky.
Who can benefit from using a 3D laser scan in architecture? I found some old blueprint record drawings—isn't this enough?
Old blueprints and record drawings can help with initial planning, but nothing will give you the full picture like 3D scanning for architecture. Property managers, owners, contractors, architecture firms, and designers will be able to budget and plan better with accurate and validated information that only a 3D scanning for architecture as-built can provide.
How does a Revit model created from existing conditions support accurate renovation planning?
A Revit model built from verified existing conditions reflects actual dimensions, system locations, and spatial relationships. This accuracy helps design teams coordinate updates, reduce conflicts, and plan renovations using reliable data rather than outdated assumptions.
When is BIM modeling most valuable for documenting existing buildings rather than new construction?
BIM modeling is most valuable for existing buildings when drawings are outdated or incomplete. It helps document current layouts and systems, supports coordination during renovations, and provides a reliable digital record for long-term facility management.
How do BIM consulting services help owners define modeling standards and data use early?
Our BIM consulting services help owners establish modeling scope, accuracy levels, and data requirements upfront. This guidance ensures models are created for specific uses like renovation planning, coordination, or facility management, avoiding unnecessary detail or rework.
