We are an architectural and interior design firm based in the UAE and operating worldwide. We have delivered a number of creative interiors for hospitality, healthcare, office, retail and residential spaces, from design concept to handover.
At AST International, we offer advanced Scan to BIM services that transform real-world building conditions into precise, data-rich BIM models. Using high-resolution 3D laser scanning technology, we capture detailed site data and convert it into intelligent digital models that support renovation, retrofit, facility management, and construction planning.
Scan to BIM is the process of capturing the existing conditions of a building or site using 3D laser scanning (LiDAR or point cloud data) and converting that data into a Building Information Model (BIM). This allows stakeholders to work with an accurate digital twin of the physical asset.
3D Laser Scanning / Point Cloud Capture
We use cutting-edge terrestrial laser scanners to collect millions of spatial data points that reflect the exact dimensions and geometry of your structure.
Point Cloud to BIM Modeling
Our team processes point cloud data and converts it into detailed BIM models (LOD 200 to LOD 500) using tools like Autodesk Revit. The model includes architectural, structural, and MEP elements based on project needs.
As-Built Modeling
We deliver highly accurate as-built BIM models for existing buildings, ideal for renovation, restoration, or expansion projects.
Clash Detection & Verification
Using the generated BIM model, we perform clash detection to support coordination and planning of new systems within existing structures.
Historic Preservation Modeling
We provide Scan to BIM solutions for heritage buildings, enabling precise documentation and preservation planning.
Facilities Management (6D BIM)
We enrich your BIM model with asset data (equipment types, service history, location, etc.) to support long-term facility operation and maintenance.
Renovation & Retrofit Projects
Interior Redesign & Space Planning
Heritage & Historical Documentation
Facility Condition Assessment
Industrial Plant Upgrades
Airport & Hospital Expansion Projects
Construction Verification & QA/QC
Accuracy & Reliability
We deliver models with millimeter-level precision, ensuring decisions are made on reliable, up-to-date data.
Multi-Platform Compatibility
Our BIM models are delivered in compatible formats (Revit, IFC, Navisworks, etc.) for integration with various project platforms.
Customized LOD Delivery
We model to the required Level of Detail (LOD) — from general geometry to fully detailed construction and asset models.
Fast Turnaround & Scalable Service
Whether a single building or a multi-site portfolio, we scale our services while meeting tight deadlines.
