          AeroFrohne provides precision Scan to BIM services in New York City, converting existing           spaces into intelligent digital models. While our headquarters is in Texas, we deploy           dedicated local contractors based in the NYC metro area. This ensures rapid scheduling for           projects across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island without the burden of travel fees.        

       

          We use the Matterport Pro3 LiDAR camera to capture high-density point clouds, which our team converts into           LOD 200-400 Revit models (.RVT), CAD files (.DWG), or E57 point clouds. Whether you are managing an           office-to-residential conversion in the Financial District or a retail fit-out in SoHo, we deliver the verified as-built data you need.

Standard Scan to BIM Deliverables

       
         
           

Revit Models (.RVT)

           

Intelligent 3D models of existing conditions. We model architecture, structure, and exposed MEP to your specified Revit version.

         
         
           

E57 Point Cloud

           

High-density, registered point cloud files usable in Revit, Navisworks, Recap, and other BIM software for your own modeling teams.

         
         
           

2D CAD (.DWG)

           

Floor plans, reflected ceiling plans (RCP), and elevations extracted directly from the 3D data for traditional CAD workflows.

         
         
           

IFC Exports

           

Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) exports for OpenBIM compatibility, ensuring data works across ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, and more.

         
         
           

LOD Specification

           

We tailor the geometry to your needs: LOD 200 (generic massing) to LOD 350 (precise geometry with connections/interfaces).

         
         
           

MatterPak™ Bundle

           

Includes .XYZ point cloud, .OBJ mesh file, and floor plan images for quick visualization alongside the heavy BIM data.

The Workflow: Local Capture to Global Standard

       
         
           

1) Deploy Local Tech

           

We dispatch our NYC-based contractor to your site. Fast mobilization for Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island.

         
         
           

2) Process (Register)

           

Scans are registered into a unified point cloud (.E57). We clean noise and verify alignment to ensure structural accuracy.

         
         
           

3) Model (BIM)

           

Our BIM technicians import the cloud into Revit and trace geometry (walls, floors, pipes, beams) to the agreed LOD.

         
         
           

4) QC & Deliver

           

We overlay the model against the point cloud to verify accuracy, then deliver the native files (.RVT, .DWG, .RCP) to you.

         
       
     
     
       

New York City BIM FAQ

       
          Do you have local technicians in New York City?          
Yes. While our HQ is in Texas, we deploy dedicated local contractors who live in the NYC metro area, ensuring fast scheduling and no flight/travel fees for your project.
       
       
          Can you scan for office to residential conversions?          
Yes. We specialize in capturing existing commercial floor plates, MEP systems, and structural columns to create accurate Revit models for adaptive reuse studies and conversions.
       
       
          What Level of Development (LOD) do you support?          
We support LOD 200 (massing), LOD 300 (architectural/structural precision), and LOD 350 (fabrication detail) depending on your project requirements.
       
       
          Do you serve all five boroughs?          
Yes. Our local technicians cover Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island, as well as surrounding areas like Long Island and Northern NJ.
       
       
          How long does it take to get the Revit model?          
Scanning takes 1-2 days for typical sites. Modeling time depends on size and LOD complexity, usually ranging from 5 to 10 business days after scanning is complete.
