I ask yourself that is there any difference between scan to bim for the design phase and construction phase? but I've not still found an answer and I get started with the article on how the scan to BIM is used in the construction phase.

I want to share it with all of you. Hope that it will be useful for you.

Re: How Scan to BIM is used in construction phase
This is indeed an interesting viewpoint. In my experience it is kind of similar, though it also varies from case to case.
As a starting point in the pre-design stage, terrain, roads, building data and imagery were automatically generated using the Model Builder feature in Autodesk InfraWorks 360. The data was then converted into .dwg format and linked into Autodesk Revit for the performance of shadow and solar radiation studies. As some of the generated data seemed outdated or was not accurate enough, the incorporation of 3D laser scanning was deemed necessary.
Thus, the existing building, the inner court yard (the former cemetery) and the surrounding streets were scanned to form a reliable basis for further development of the project.
Following is a sample scan to BIM from one of my projects.

Re: How Scan to BIM is used in construction phase
I'm not sure about it, to be honest. However, this topic piqued my interest, so I'm going to do some research on it now.

Hi @nguyennguyen,
That's a great question! While the core principle of scan-to-BIM remains the same for both design and construction phases, there are some key differences in terms of the level of detail required, the focus of the modeling, and the specific applications.
Scan-to-BIM in the Design Phase:
Focus: Creating accurate digital models of existing structures to inform new designs.
Level of Detail: High-resolution scans to capture fine details of architectural features, structural elements, and MEP systems.
Applications:
Heritage preservation and restoration
Building extensions and renovations
Urban planning and development
Scan-to-BIM in the Construction Phase:
Focus: Monitoring construction progress, identifying deviations from design, and facilitating quality control.
Level of Detail: Medium-resolution scans to capture the overall building geometry and major components.
Applications:
As-built documentation
Clash detection
Progress tracking
Quantity take-offs
Ultimately, the specific requirements for scan-to-BIM will vary depending on the project and its goals. By understanding these differences, you can effectively apply this technology to enhance your construction projects.
Would you like to know more about specific techniques or tools used in scan-to-BIM workflows?
