SCAN TO BIM

REMODELS REQUIRE EXACTING CONDITIONS

CRAYDL’s Scan to BIM service captures every existing condition with exceptional accuracy. From wall widths and light fixtures to plumbing locations, registers, outlets, and switches, nothing is missed. This precise digital model provides builders, homeowners, designers, and architects with a reliable foundation for planning, coordinating, and executing with confidence.

Scan-to-BIM is how we gather existing conditions. We guarantee ¼-inch accuracy and include floor plans, roof plans, reflective ceiling plans (RCPs), and interior and exterior elevations. We include every detail (wall widths, fixtures, registers, millwork, exterior details, and more). If needed, we can export files for use in Revit, CAD, or SketchUp.

Why do we do it?  Because we believe an inaccurate set of plans cannot be a good set of plans. For remodels, we begin by using a high-density LiDAR scanner to capture every cabinet, light fixture, switch, register, riser, condenser… You get the idea. We model everything we can see (can’t get behind walls), with ¼-inch accuracy. Now we have a good starting point.

VIRTUAL DESIGN

CONSTRUCTION

Homeowners cannot read plans; don’t make them. 

By integrating architecture, interior design, and landscape design into a unified model, the homeowner and the builder have something everyone can understand to reach an agreement.

Providing immersive VR experiences with accuracy becomes achievable when the details are in the model.  We can always render what’s been specified, ensuring that all parties have an accurate and visual representation of the design intent and objective.  

Why do we utilize virtual reality and renderings? Because clients can only confidently approve what they can see. By adding interior design selections and fixtures, as well as landscape and pool design plans, to the model, you can now visualize the home as it will be experienced by the homeowner. This allows each of your clients to express design concerns before construction begins in the field.  Because the VR model is tethered to the models for interior design and landscape design, it ensures that all design inputs are coordinated, measured, and, where needed, approved by all relevant stakeholders.

Virtual Reality and 3D experiences are how we ensure end clients know what they are getting (and that builders have pretty pictures to sell). View this example ➡

PRODUCTION

DOCUMENTATION

Production and automation of your production documents ensure that everyone has access to the same information in real-time, even as adjustments are made and changes are implemented.

Why do we provide product documentation?  Because if it’s modeled, it will be reflected in the plans.  By incorporating best practices into our BIM modeling services, we automate a large portion of the creation of construction drawings AND we have the additional benefits of a) making it more accurate (the sheets are produced from the model; if something changes in the model, the impacted sheets are updated automatically, and b) we can provide you accurate quantities of almost anything in the model, streamlining the procurement process with accurate quantities (no more take-offs).

INTERIOR DESIGN

INTEGRATION

Enhance your architectural projects with Interior Design Integration to BIM. Seamlessly incorporate detailed interior layouts, furnishings, and finishes into your Building Information Models, ensuring cohesive design, improved collaboration, and precise execution of every detail.

As pioneers in high-end residential construction information management, CRAYDL sets a new industry standard for designing, planning, and building luxury homes. We can help you streamline and improve your residential construction project in many ways.

Why do we do it?  Because accuracy and alignment of interior design selections to architecture and engineering are critical. We produce a schedule of all selections required in the architectural model for interior design completion.  With those selections, cabinet drawings, RCP designs, and details, we incorporate them into the model. Once the model is approved, we create a standard set of field documentation optimized for builder execution. Alignment, details, and the ability to see when those things are missing are critical to installation.
