The Challenge
KDA Architects spent months searching for a partner capable of capturing and modeling complex buildings, specifically a 180,000-square-foot facility, with the accuracy required for design and coordination.
Previous firms had repeatedly failed by missing deadlines, delivering incomplete models, or failing to commit to a firm schedule.
- Project Goals
The primary goal was to obtain a reliable scan and a true as-built Revit model that architects and consultants could trust immediately. Key requirements included high accuracy, clear coordination, and a confirmed delivery date.
Additionally, KDA sought a partner to advise on best practices and help standardize BIM workflows for future projects.
Solutions
ATG provided end-to-end reality capture and Scan to BIM services. The team performed high-fidelity laser scanning and modeled the entire interior and exterior in Revit.
Beyond the technical model, ATG acted as a consultant, helping KDA choose the right Autodesk products, set up templates, and align their team on repeatable BIM management processes.
Business Outcomes
ATG delivered the project ahead of schedule with model quality that exceeded expectations. The accuracy was so high that only one minor correction (a single missing window) was needed during the review. The model integrated directly into the design pipeline, reducing field verification trips and accelerating coordination. Consequently, KDA has entered into an ongoing partnership with ATG’s BIM Management group to standardize workflows firm-wide.
ATG delivered exactly what they promised and did it sooner than we expected. The scan and Revit model were so accurate that our only requested change was a single missing window. That level of quality gave our team immediate confidence and allowed us to move straight into design. We have since purchased our Autodesk licenses through ATG and engaged their BIM Management services because they have proven to be a true partner we can trust.
