Scan to BIM New York Skyscraper

During the renovation of the West 34th New York skyscraper, Coast 2 Coast conducted SCAN to BIM site surveys in multiple phases as each floor became available. New information was added to the existing model to integrate different floors and data from various disciplines. In addition, the Coast 2 Coast team augmented the model with point cloud data. The visualization included capabilities to fly through, mark up, and measure the building virtually. The integrated model became the central platform where all project stakeholders could view and share information dynamically.
