BIM Services in California: Solutions for Architects, Designers, and Builders
Our BIM services in California offer designers, architects, and builders the technology-driven edge they need to streamline project planning, visualization, and execution. Whether you’re based in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, or anywhere in California, our team provides fast, reliable, and cost-effective solutions tailored to your project’s needs.
What Is BIM and Why It Matters in California
BIM, or Building Information Modeling, is a process that creates a comprehensive digital representation of a building’s physical structure and operational features. These models are essential at every phase of a construction project, from the initial design stage to the final completion. Through BIM modeling, you gain a detailed view of your project, enabling better collaboration, cost estimation, and risk management.
Our BIM services encompass everything from converting point clouds to BIM, creating accurate 3D models, and producing 2D drawings that serve as the foundation for your project’s success.

Our BIM Service Process: From Scan to BIM to Project Completion
At SCANM2, we pride ourselves on offering a fast, detailed, and high-quality BIM service that is also affordable. Here’s an overview of how our process unfolds:
1. Initial Consultation & Quote
We begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment of your project’s scope and requirements. Whether it’s a new build, renovation, or restoration, we’ll take the time to fully grasp your specific needs. After this, we provide a detailed quote, highlighting our competitive pricing compared to other providers in California.
2. Site Visit and Scanning
Within 1-2 days of signing the contract, our specialists will be on-site to conduct a laser scan of the building or structure. We use the latest scanning technologies to generate a highly accurate point cloud, which forms the basis for the BIM model.
3. BIM Model Creation
Using industry-leading software like Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks, our team will convert the point cloud into a fully functional 3D model. For projects that require it, we can also deliver 2D drawings, 3D visualizations, and clash detection reports to ensure that all elements of the project fit together seamlessly.
4. Delivery and Implementation
Depending on the size and complexity of your project, our average delivery time is around 10 days, with some smaller projects being completed in as little as 2 days. For more complex structures, the process can take up to two months, though we aim to minimize this wherever possible.
5. Final Outputs
Upon completion, you’ll receive:
- A fully detailed BIM model (available in formats like Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, etc.).
- 2D drawings for architectural, structural, and MEP plans.
- Accurate 3D models for visualization.
- Clash detection reports to avoid costly errors during construction.
