Revit Modelling Services

Creating accurate existing phases of Revit projects from point cloud surveys means our Revit Technicians must understand how to analyse a model well, control all of the building junctions and be able to create bespoke content to suit the building’s style.

Revit modelling from SolidPoint laser scans

SolidPoint builds existing-phase Revit models from our own laser scanning surveys. Scan to BIM is our core Revit modelling service: point clouds captured by our surveyors become coordinated models with the LOD, families and deliverables your design team needs — typically RVT, IFC and DWG.

We model buildings scanned anywhere in the UK. Work with us as a full Scan to BIM package, or bring us into your BIM 360 / Autodesk Construction Cloud project as extra Revit resource.

What is Revit modelling for survey?

Revit modelling services turn measured reality — usually a registered point cloud — into an editable Building Information Model.

Architects, engineers and contractors use that model as the existing-phase base for design, coordination and construction. On a Revit modelling survey the model geometry, levels and families are controlled so sheets, schedules and views show the building correctly.

SolidPoint specialises in that existing phase. Our Revit technicians analyse the cloud, resolve junctions and build bespoke content to match the building’s style — the same discipline we apply across our wider BIM services.

Point cloud to Revit is our specialism. Sometimes called a Revit survey, eBIM survey or BIM survey model, we model from our own scans of buildings in Derby, Manchester and across the UK — so capture and modelling stay under one roof.

Revit modelling services

Point cloud to Revit

Existing-phase models from registered laser scan data, built to the LOD and tolerances your project specifies.

LOD and deliverables

Models issued as RVT, with IFC and DWG where required, aligned to the level of detail agreed at briefing.

Revit family creation

Parametric families matched to building styles, with the intelligence you need for schedules and easy editing beyond the existing phase.

2D CAD to 3D Revit

Convert drawings into a coordinated Revit model, including work that meets UK BIM Level 2 and 3 expectations and beyond.

Feasibility modelling

From a brief or sketch we produce design options as BIM-ready Revit models for extensions and new-build studies.

Extra Revit resource

Our technicians hold Revit and collaboration licences, so we can join your BIM 360 project for mark-ups, RCPs or deadline support.

How a Revit modelling survey works

Brief and LOD

Agree scope, tolerances, family standards and deliverables (RVT, IFC, DWG).

Capture or receive data

We laser-scan the building, or work from a registered cloud and drawings you supply.

Model in Revit

Technicians build the existing phase, sheets, schedules and bespoke families as needed.

Issue and support

You receive the coordinated model, with optional ongoing hours for amendments.

Mass modelling in Revit

When large areas need representing quickly, massing is the efficient option. Typical low-detail mass models sit around ±300 mm; by starting from laser scan data we generally model to about ±60 mm, and the same high-definition cloud can be re-used later to tighten accuracy or raise LOD.

Many clients use mass models at concept stage, then carry the same information through detail design without losing data.

CAD and Revit support we handle regularly: mark-ups and amendments, bespoke content and families, sketch-to-federated BIM and 3D or BIM production from 2D drawings. Call 01332 898350 if you are unsure whether we can help.

Need a Revit model or Scan to BIM quote?

Tell us the building, the LOD you need and whether you want capture included. Fixed-fee quotations are available; monthly technician-hour plans are listed below if you prefer ongoing support.

Laser scanning surveys

Capture the point cloud first — then we model it in Revit.

How Do I Pay For This Service?

We'll issue you a direct debit form, and the rate you've purchased will be collected each month. The rate is calculated by the number of hours per month, multiplied by the cost per hour.

I Haven't Used All Of The Hours I've Purchased This Month - What Happens to Them?

Any unused hours will roll over to the next month, and will accumilate in our time bank until you need them.

What If I Need More Hours Than The Amount I've Purchased or Currently Have Banked?

We'll inform you when you've used up your purchased hours. If you are then happy for us to continue on your project, we'll invoice the additional hours at the hourly rate you have purchased.

What Do You Mean By "1 Technician?"

This is the minimum number of technicians we'll allocate to your projects. Depending on our current workload, we may be able to allocate more technicians to reduce your timescales.

What Do You Mean By "Lead-In Period?"

The lead-in period is the maximum amount of time we need before our technicians can start work on your project after instruction. Depending on our current workload, we may be able to start sooner.

How Do I Know How Many Hours I Have Banked?

We'll provide you with a link to our database that shows you which projects we've allocated time to, how many hours you've purchased, and how many you currently have banked. This is updated daily by the technician/s working on your projects.

Is There a Minimum Contract Period, or Other Contract To Sign?

No.

There are no contracts to sign and no minimum periods. If you decide to discontinue the service, any hours you have banked will be kept in our system and can still be used for 3 months following the cancellation.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in a Revit modelling survey?

A Revit modelling survey turns measured survey information into an editable existing-phase building model. We agree the scope, level of detail, tolerances and family requirements before modelling. SolidPoint can include laser scan capture or work from supplied registered point clouds and drawings, depending on what information your project already has.

What files do I get from Revit modelling?

The main deliverable is an RVT Revit model, with IFC and DWG outputs where required by your brief. We agree the deliverables alongside the model’s level of detail and tolerances. That gives your design team an existing-phase base for coordination and design rather than only a set of scan measurements.

How much does Revit modelling cost?

We offer fixed-fee quotations for one-off modelling scopes and monthly technician-hour plans for ongoing support. The appropriate option depends on the work and level of detail required. Tell us about the building, whether laser scan capture is included and what deliverables your team needs so we can quote for your project.

Can you create bespoke Revit families or help our project team?

Yes. Our Revit technicians create bespoke families and content to suit the building and project requirements. We also offer extra Revit resource within BIM 360 projects, including amendments and deadline support. The scope can cover modelling from point clouds, drawing conversion or other agreed Revit tasks your team needs help delivering.

Do you provide Revit modelling for projects across the UK?

Yes. We model buildings scanned anywhere in the UK. Our service can cover the full scan-to-BIM process or provide additional Revit resource to your project team. We agree the capture requirements, model specification and deliverables around your site and intended use of the information.
