HBIM services

Heritage modelling grounded in measured evidence.

PC2BIM creates structured architectural models and documentation for historic and existing buildings, with a focus on heritage fabric, measured geometry, archival records, and architectural deliverables.

01 · Core service

Point Cloud to HBIM

Laser scans and photogrammetric point clouds are converted into organised Revit or IFC models for conservation, restoration, renovation, and research.

  • Walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, vaults, openings, stairs, and structural architectural elements.
  • Historic facade composition, major decorative geometry, and selected distinctive features.
  • Levels, grids, coordinates, rooms, zones, and model views.
  • Model scope adapted to survey quality and project purpose.
02 · Existing conditions

Historic As-Built Revit Models

Editable as-built models prepared for design teams working with existing and protected buildings.

  • Project setup, levels, views, sheets, and coordinates.
  • Architectural categories and families organised for continued design work.
  • Irregularity represented through agreed simplification and tolerance rules.
  • Optional room schedules and element parameters.
03 · Historical sources

Archival Data to HBIM

Historical drawings, photographs, inventories, and written records can be linked to the measured model as supporting evidence.

  • DWG and PDF drawing interpretation.
  • Comparison of archival geometry with current surveyed conditions.
  • Source references and notes incorporated into the project structure.
  • Support for phased development and change documentation.
04 · Documentation

Plans, Sections & Elevations

Coordinated 2D documentation extracted from the HBIM model for conservation reports, design studies, surveys, and stakeholder review.

  • Floor plans and roof plans.
  • Cross and longitudinal sections.
  • Exterior elevations and selected interior elevations.
  • Room schedules, area information, and annotated model views.
05 · Exchange

IFC / openBIM Delivery

Model structure and exports prepared for collaboration across different software platforms.

  • IFC export configuration appropriate to the agreed use.
  • Category, classification, and property review.
  • Lightweight exchange files where practical.
  • Delivery notes documenting known constraints and assumptions.
06 · Assurance

Model QA & Survey Comparison

Quality checks are aligned with the agreed scope rather than a generic claim of perfect accuracy.

  • Coordinate, level, and orientation review.
  • Visual comparison against point clouds and sections.
  • Category, family, naming, and file-health checks.
  • Optional deviation records and issue notes.
