ViBIM provides accurate BIM modeling derived from Point Cloud data tailored for facility management applications. Our services convert intricate building information into practical insights, supporting efficient facility operations through precise digital representations.
ViBIM specializes in producing detailed BIM models for Facility Management based on Point Cloud scan data, providing facility managers with highly accurate digital replicas of their physical assets.
Our BIM for Facility Management solutions integrate comprehensive data including building component details, spatial arrangements, and performance indicators into a cohesive digital platform. Leveraging Point Cloud data collected through building surveys, our team develops precise Revit models enriched with essential information such as manufacturer specifications, maintenance protocols, warranty terms, and lifecycle attributes. These models act as thorough digital twins of the physical structures, supporting effective operational and maintenance workflows. Facility managers are empowered with centralized access to critical data covering building systems, equipment specifications, maintenance timetables, and spatial layouts.
This methodology enhances the handover process from construction to facility operation, mitigates data loss, and establishes a reliable, long-term data resource essential for efficient facility management.
ViBIM delivers end-to-end BIM solutions tailored exclusively for facility management needs. Our offerings convert complex building information into structured digital assets, enabling streamlined operations and maintenance processes across the entire building lifecycle.
ViBIM produces detailed Revit models derived from laser-scanned Point Cloud data that accurately represent the as-built conditions of facility infrastructure. Architectural, structural, and MEP components are modeled to capture true dimensions, spatial positioning, and interrelationships as found on-site.
Our modeling approach applies industry-standard naming conventions, consistent category allocations, and well-structured model hierarchies to enable seamless linkage and interoperability with Computer-Aided Facility Management (CAFM) and Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) platforms.
In accordance with client-specific requirements and Asset Information Requirements (AIR), essential asset metadata—including equipment IDs, model numbers, maintenance zones, location codes, serial numbers, and other critical lifecycle details—are embedded directly within the BIM model.
We precisely define and label rooms, areas, and maintenance zones utilizing Revit spaces and zone configurations that correspond to the facility management organizational framework.
Upon client request, ViBIM supports the preparation and export of Revit models into various standardized formats such as COBie and IFC, ensuring compatibility with targeted FM platforms or databases.
Specialized tagging and annotation elements are integrated to identify key equipment, access panels, shut-off valves, and service points critical for routine facility management and maintenance activities.
ViBIM implements rigorous validation protocols and adheres to client-defined standards to ensure completeness of all mandatory information fields, consistency of parameter values, and that geometric accuracy complies with acceptable tolerances based on the original Point Cloud data. Additionally, ViBIM employs a proprietary tool to link parametric data from all family components directly to Excel, consolidating and synchronizing project information for efficient facility management data handling.
The application of BIM, especially through Scan to BIM for Facility Management, offers numerous advantages, including:
Precise Spatial Representation: Provides an accurate digital portrayal of building components as they currently exist on site.
Centralized Asset Information: Integrates data such as equipment types, serial numbers, locations, and maintenance zones into a unified, easily accessible model.
Enhanced Maintenance Scheduling and Monitoring: Supports improved planning and tracking of maintenance activities by leveraging linked information within the model.
Reduced Dependence on Manual Inspections: Decreases the need for frequent physical site visits by providing trustworthy digital references.
Optimized Space and Occupancy Management: Enables more efficient management of spaces through clearly defined zones and functional areas.
Facilitated Integration with CAFM/CMMS Platforms: Strengthens operational workflows by establishing a reliable data foundation compatible with facility management software.
Strong Basis for Digital Twin Implementation: Creates a robust input for future Digital Twin initiatives in facility management.
At ViBIM, all BIM models generated from Point Cloud data are developed within a stringent quality assurance and compliance framework. We consistently adhere to a comprehensive set of standards and protocols essential for FM-ready BIM implementation, including but not limited to:
Master Tag Register (MTR): A project-specific document enumerating all equipment and assets for tagging, classification, and tracking purposes. Revit families within the model are rigorously aligned with MTR codes, asset identifiers, and classification schemes.
COBie (Construction-Operations Building Information Exchange): Ensuring structured data exchange standards for seamless facility management integration.
IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) Standards: Promoting interoperability and open data exchange across BIM platforms.
ISO 19650: Governing information management principles and processes within BIM workflows.
Client-Specific Asset Information Requirements (AIR): Custom parameters and data fields defined by the client to meet project-specific FM needs.
Revit Parameter Standardization: Establishing consistency in parameter naming, types, and usage to facilitate uniform data management.
ViBIM Internal FM-Ready QA/QC Checklist: Our proprietary checklist ensures each model meets stringent quality standards for geometric accuracy, data completeness, and compliance prior to delivery.
ViBIM implements a systematic and precise methodology to guarantee exceptional quality and accuracy in our Topography BIM Modeling services. Each phase is conducted thoroughly by our skilled professionals to ensure optimal results.
Establish clear standards and objectives by identifying specific building elements requiring FM data, specifying required parameter sets (e.g., dimensions, serial numbers, zone classifications, warranty information), determining preferred output formats (Revit, COBie, Excel, IFC), and outlining integration logic with existing CAFM/CMMS platforms.
Utilize specialized Revit add-ins or tools to extract all pertinent parameter data from Revit families within FM-relevant categories—including Doors, Windows, Mechanical Equipment, Electrical Fixtures, Plumbing Fixtures, etc.—and export this information into an organized Excel spreadsheet.
Process the extracted data by creating logical parameter groupings (such as physical properties, technical specifications, and maintenance details), standardizing field names, filtering out irrelevant or duplicate entries, and structuring the dataset according to FM workflows or the client’s Master Tag Register.
Incorporate essential FM information into the structured Excel template by integrating client-provided technical documents, drawings, and asset registers, complemented with accurate as-built measurements (dimensions, locations) validated through Point Cloud data analysis.
Employ a data linking/synchronization tool to import all updated FM information into the corresponding parameters of Revit families within the project model. Ensure correct assignment to instance or type parameters, proper formatting, and category alignment to maintain FM readiness.
Perform thorough checks to confirm data completeness, accuracy, and compliance. Test interoperability and compatibility with facility management platforms such as COBie and IFC standards, ensuring consistency between model data and source documents.
Provide deliverables in client-specified formats, including native Revit (.rvt) files with parametric families, COBie-compliant spreadsheets, IFC files (IFC2x3/IFC4), or consolidated Excel reports summarizing asset information.
Facilitate smooth project handover by supplying detailed documentation, including user guides for model navigation, explanations of parameter mapping logic, and reference tables correlating categories and asset coding schemes for ongoing FM use.

Mr.Horn:
“Hi Yen,
My apologies, I forgot to confirm with you that the project is now complete and delivered to our client. Many thanks for your work on these models, they were great! By all means, please do invoice.
Understood on your availability over the new year; I wish you and all the ViBIM team a happy Tet, I hope you enjoy yourselves and have a good break!”
Mr.Horn:
“Hi Yen,
Thanks for the reminder of this, good to know.
I apologise, I never got back to you on the below to confirm completion of the project; I had to make a few minor additional amendments that Friday, but otherwise successfully delivered it that evening.
We actually got some feedback from the client on this Friday just gone, as below:
"I appreciate the hard work, the QA, the comms, the flexibility to work with our targets.
Mr.S has been showing our Digital team in morning catch ups, how precisely you guys are modelling, what good quality modelling can look like. If you can impress Mr.S then you know you're doing something right!"
Essentially well done, and great! This is precisely the kind of feedback we want, as not only do we see return business from this client, but it is also spreading of the good word either from them to others, or if we can use it in some of our marketing to help catch a few other fish! More projects to come in the future hopefully!”
Mr.Tot:
“Hi Yen,
Thanks again for the model, it was nicely done, especially the MEP part of it.
The markups are mostly because of missing pits, gutter height issues, and floor height issues (the required tolerance was high, hence objects needed to be modelled within 15mm of the point cloud).”
Mr.Pete:
“Overall, we are happy, and the turnaround times and communication have worked well for us. We do normally use Google Sheets to highlight any QA or general questions but didn’t have time to set everything up on these last projects. Saves us sending a folder with loads of screen grabs and allows your team to ask questions easier. Will look at setting up going forward.
As it stands, we are looking to be busy on the run up to the Christmas break so if any other projects land between now and then we will send over for some costs.”
Mr.Brode:
“Hi Thanh,
Yes I have, there are more coming soon from this client in the next two weeks. Thank you for your excellent work on that project.
There are actually two other large jobs I need to get your assistance with both of which we have already won (pricing is for additional works so there is no bid process).
If I supply plans for Hospital projects tomorrow with photos would you be able to help in pricing these works? We met with the client today and am trying to get them free proposal next week. I apologise for the short notice, it is also short notice for us! Deliverables will be the same as those at lastest project that you priced previously.
I will send more info tomorrow.
Thank you”
