ViBIM specializes in architectural BIM modeling using point cloud data, providing precise and systematically organized Revit models for diverse building types, including residential buildings, office complexes, hospitals, heritage sites, and infrastructure projects.
ViBIM specializes in transforming point cloud data into detailed architectural Building Information Models that form the basis for renovation projects, historic preservation, and facility management programs. Our expertise includes converting laser scan data into intelligent 3D models within the Autodesk Revit platform, delivering architects accurate digital representations of existing structures. These models comprehensively capture architectural elements such as walls, columns, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, ornamental details, and other key features.
Founded in 2014, with over 11 years of industry experience covering a diverse portfolio—from modern office buildings, hospitals, and commercial complexes to heritage structures and specialized infrastructure including bridges, overpasses, and train stations—ViBIM ensures each architectural component is modeled with precision and clarity, faithfully reflecting construction details critical to design, renovation, and facility management.
What sets ViBIM apart is not only our precision in modeling but also our commitment to consistent quality, maintained through a rigorous internal quality control system. This includes a hierarchical three-level service standard (from basic to advanced), a systematic multi-step review process, and standardized modeling conventions for every architectural element.
ViBIM offers a complete portfolio of Architectural BIM Modeling solutions generated from point cloud data, expertly tailored to fulfill the diverse requirements of construction projects.
ViBIM develops architectural wall models ranging from fundamental geometries at LOD 200 to fully detailed, multi-layered assemblies at LOD 300-400. Our approach guarantees precise representation of construction details, systematic layer organization, standardized element naming, and functional categorization, all synchronized with project-defined LOD requirements to maintain uniformity.
ViBIM proficiently models all horizontal architectural elements—including floors, roofs, and ceilings—utilizing Revit system tools. Our process involves distinguishing core and finish layers, implementing standardized naming conventions, and categorizing elements by function, thereby ensuring compliance with client requirements and industry construction standards.
ViBIM emphasizes creating reliable, loadable families by utilizing either pre-existing hosted families or custom-building families precisely aligned with point cloud geometry. Importantly, we avoid the use of ‘model-in-place’ elements to guarantee that every component remains fully parametric, manageable, and reusable. All families are systematically organized using rigorous naming standards and classification to ensure seamless data integration and project coordination.
ViBIM models all stair and railing assemblies mainly using Revit’s standard system tools. In-place modeling is employed solely in exceptional scenarios where system tools cannot fulfill the design requirements, and only after obtaining explicit client consent. We precisely depict diverse construction methods—including cast-in-place, precast, and assembled systems—while ensuring accurate functional classification and consistent alignment with project levels.
For projects demanding elevated detail levels, ViBIM accurately models intricate architectural components including moldings, cornices, trims, and ceiling recesses. Leveraging optimized workflows, we extract these features precisely from Point Cloud data and develop them into a comprehensive family library, with each element systematically categorized to guarantee smooth data integration.
ViBIM employs proprietary tools and established internal workflows to thoroughly validate geometry, standardize naming conventions and metadata, manage subcategory organization, perform Clash Detection, verify construction details, and maintain overall model integrity prior to project handover.
Utilizing Architectural BIM Modeling derived from Point Cloud data provides significant benefits for stakeholders engaged in building design, construction, and facility management. This approach revolutionizes the documentation, analysis, and renovation processes of existing structures:
Precise Representation of Existing Conditions: Delivers an exact digital twin of the current architectural elements—including walls, floors, columns, ceilings, and ornamental details—eliminating uncertainties and establishing a dependable foundation for design and construction decision-making.
Enhanced Project Planning and Design: Enables architects and designers to base decisions on a trustworthy digital twin, resulting in improved design quality and optimized spatial utilization. Additionally, it forms an integrated basis for successive design and construction phases within a BIM workflow.
Flexibility for Design Iterations and Compliance: Through well-defined modeling standards (such as segmenting walls at level transitions, layering wall thicknesses, and applying detailed decorative modeling techniques), the models facilitate feasibility studies, regulatory compliance checks, and iterative design developments with clear, traceable logic.
Strengthened Multi-Disciplinary Coordination: Supports effective collaboration among architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines by providing an accurate, shared data environment that reduces clashes and minimizes rework.
Streamlined Quantity Takeoff and Documentation: Employing Revit-native modeling principles ensures all architectural elements are quantifiable and correctly classified, thereby enhancing downstream processes such as cost estimation, schedule simulation, and generation of construction documents with consistency.

ViBIM’s Proprietary Three-Tiered Service Quality Framework
ViBIM employs a systematic and rigorous methodology to guarantee superior quality and precision in our Architectural BIM Modeling derived from Point Cloud data. Every phase is conducted with meticulous attention to detail by our skilled professionals.
The process initiates with defining project objectives, specifying the required LOD/LOI (Level of Development/Level of Information), and selecting the appropriate service level (Levels 1–3) in accordance with ViBIM's internal architectural modeling standards.
Raw point cloud data undergoes thorough cleaning, registration, and precise alignment with established reference levels and project grids. This critical step ensures a robust foundation for accurate modeling and optimal spatial coordination.
Leveraging the prepared point cloud data, our expert modelers meticulously construct an accurate 3D BIM of the building's architectural elements within Revit. This encompasses the modeling of walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, doors, windows, and other critical features.
In adherence to the agreed-upon scope, specific architectural details, decorative features, and fixed furnishings are incorporated. Custom components are developed as required to accurately reflect the existing conditions.
Where stipulated, non-graphical information—such as material types and asset data—is embedded into the model elements to achieve the designated Level of Information.
The developed architectural model undergoes a stringent internal quality assurance protocol. This comprehensive review verifies geometric accuracy, completeness, adherence to specified standards, and overall model integrity.
Models are finalized in their native Revit (.RVT) format, with optional export to IFC or 2D drawings based on client requirements. Grids, levels, views, and schedules are systematically structured to facilitate seamless integration with other disciplines and digital workflows.

Modelling Manager | Australia
“ViBIM are effective in their time-management, both in terms of anticipated hours and committing to deadlines. Expectations are managed at both ends; we know we can rely on ViBIM to get the job done, fast, efficient and with no compromise in quality.
ViBIM are well-attuned to our quality expectations and effectively meet the requirements set out. With a strong understanding of point cloud and its limitations as the underlying inputs for authoring, work is thorough and accurate. Capabilities are inclusive of modelling bespoke, high-detail elements, without compromising file sizes and model fidelity. Modelling follows general design principles, ensuring satisfaction with end-user (architectural and engineering) clients.
Communication with ViBIM is excellent and a real strength of the company. For a start – noting geographical differences between ourselves (in an English-speaking country) and ViBIM in Vietnam – there is no concern in regards to language barrier; Director Thanh and team interfaces within projects are highly proficient in English, able to convey information without confusion or misunderstandings. Communication is clear, regular and responsive, without any of the half-answers and second-guessing that is often found with other supply companies.
ViBIM are very astute at taking on-board feedback, adjusting workflows and quality processes to match expectations. Having worked closely with the team for a number of years now, it has been a learning process together and things have come a long way; ViBIM are our preferred supplier, and have been for myself personally, now across multiple companies.”

“ViBIM are very responsive and knowledgeable about all things BIM. By working with them, we’re able to reduce our turnaround times, free up our own internal resources, and deliver on challenging projects. Receiving quality returns is our priority and ViBIM excels at this.
Quality is good, usually we try to communicate if there’s a special level of accuracy needed. Sometimes there seems to be a cleaner potential way of modelling certain features in Revit, eg, components attached to each other vs separate (valve part of the pipe run vs just existing as a separate component). In both cases the geometry is correct and often it doesn’t matter either way.”
