From Point Cloud to BIM model: A Success Story with Our Australian Client

One of our clients in Australia, a renowned architectural firm specializing in renovation projects, shared their frustration about finding a surveying company that could provide a complete package—from 3D laser scanning to 3D BIM modeling.
Their projects often demand near-absolute accuracy and detail, but most surveying companies in Australia typically deliver simplified outputs. Some even accept errors of up to +/-5 cm in their 3D models, an unacceptable standard for architects. When we discussed this issue with a few firms, they insisted their clients “only need that level of accuracy” and claimed they had never received complaints about quality. However, studies reveal that most B2B clients choose alternative service providers over voicing dissatisfaction.
Our Australian client faced a similar situation. Instead of ordering a full-service package, they opted to have the surveying done locally and then sent us the point cloud data to process into a BIM model. While this approach worked, it added unnecessary complexity to their workflow.
At VMT Solutions, we are always open to long-term partnerships with surveying companies, aiming to become the missing piece in their full-service offerings. By doing so, we can provide end clients with the convenience and satisfaction of a complete solution.
Here’s a glimpse of a recently completed project for our Australian client. We transformed their point cloud data into a detailed BIM model, delivered with passion and precision. Our architects even created a stunning video showcasing the transition from point cloud to BIM, highlighting the project’s remarkable transformation.
Beyond delivering the best services, we support our B2B partners in areas like project visualization to make their presentations more engaging, developing tools to improve efficiency, and enhancing management systems. Our entire team is dedicated to helping your business thrive.
