BIM Modeling of Kindergarten "Bitīte"

Project Details

GIS-Point was engaged to develop a BIM model of a two-storey kindergarten building based on available architectural documentation and point cloud data.

The project focused on creating an accurate digital representation of the building geometry, including key architectural elements such as walls, floors, roofs, and openings.

The resulting BIM model was structured and optimized to support coordination workflows and prepared for export in IFC format to ensure compatibility with industry-standard BIM platforms.

Client: The project was completed for GEO PRO, a company specializing in geodetic surveying and geospatial data acquisition and processing.

Sector: Construction

Sub Sector: State construction

Services: Scan to BIM

Solution:
Architectural BIM Modeling of Key Building Elements (Walls, Floors, Roofs, and Openings)
Development of an Accurate BIM Model Based on Point Cloud Data Model Preparation and Optimization for IFC Export and Coordination

Location: Jurmala, Latvia

People:
GIS-Point assembled a team of experienced BIM specialists, including BIM modelers and QA engineers.
The team analyzed architectural drawings and point cloud data to ensure accurate reconstruction of the building geometry.
As a result, a structured BIM model of the two-storey kindergarten was developed and prepared for IFC export and coordination.

Technology and Software:
The project was delivered using Autodesk Revit for BIM modeling and Autodesk ReCap for point cloud processing. Navisworks was used to compare the model with the scan data and verify geometric accuracy.

Process & Challenges

Process:

GIS-Point processed and analyzed the point cloud data to create an accurate digital representation of the existing kindergarten building.
The data was integrated into the BIM environment to reconstruct the building geometry and develop a structured information model in accordance with project requirements.

Our process included:

Analyzing and preparing the point cloud data for BIM modeling.
Developing the BIM model of the building geometry based on the point cloud data.
Modeling key architectural elements such as walls, floors, roofs, and openings.
Verifying the BIM model against the point cloud to ensure geometric accuracy.
Preparing the model and exporting it to IFC format for coordination and further use.

Challenges:

During the project, the team encountered several technical and workflow challenges that required careful data analysis and efficient coordination to ensure a reliable BIM deliverable.

Key challenges included:

Limited interior visibility: Interior areas were poorly visible in panoramic scans, so the team relied on detailed point cloud analysis to accurately reconstruct architectural elements.
Tight project timeline: The model had to be delivered within a short timeframe, which required optimized workflows and coordinated task distribution within the team.
IFC export consistency: Some elements required additional adjustments to ensure correct export and classification in the IFC model.

Result

An accurate BIM model of the two-storey kindergarten was developed in Autodesk Revit at LOD 300 with an LOA of 10 mm, based on point cloud data.

The finalized model provides a reliable digital representation of the building geometry and was successfully prepared and exported to IFC format, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard BIM coordination and further project workflows.

BIM Modeling of Kindergarten “Bitīte”

GIS-Point was engaged to develop a BIM model of a two-storey kindergarten building based on available architectural documentation and point cloud data. The project focused on creating an accurate digital representation of the building geometry, including key architectural elements such as walls, floors, roofs, and openings. The resulting BIM model was structured and optimized to support coordination workflows and prepared for export in IFC format to ensure compatibility with industry-standard BIM platforms.
BIM Modeling of Metropolitan House Serviced Offices

GIS-Point was engaged to update the digital documentation of an existing multi-storey commercial building following significant changes since the previous survey conducted in 2012. The project involved processing newly acquired point cloud data and developing an accurate LOD300 BIM model covering the basement, ground floor, and seven upper levels. The scope included modeling structural elements, architectural components, and visible building services, as well as generating coordinated 2D CAD drawings including floor plans, elevations, and sections at 1:50 scale. The resulting BIM model provides an up-to-date digital representation of the building to support the client’s planning and design process.
BIM Modeling of Frenchton Farmhouse

GIS-Point was commissioned to develop a digital BIM model of an existing historic farmhouse based on laser scanning data. The project included point cloud processing and modeling of the building envelope and basic interior layout in Autodesk Revit at LOD 300.
Scan-to-CAD Documentation of Pied Chateau

GIS-Point was engaged to process the laser scan data and produce accurate architectural drawings of the building. Using the provided point cloud dataset, the team analyzed the existing structure and developed detailed floor plans, building sections, and façade drawings reflecting the current condition of the property. The project focused on transforming complex survey data into clear and structured documentation to support further architectural and engineering work.
