Quick answer
A BIM data file Denver, CO design teams can open, from Rocky Mountain Photography, turns a Matterport scan of an existing building into a Revit model with walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, and key fixtures. Design teams start renovation and tenant improvement work from measured conditions, and facility managers gain a model they can maintain.
A BIM data file in Denver, CO saves the most tedious part of a renovation project: modeling the building that is already there. Before a designer can draw the new layout, someone has to build the existing walls, openings, floors, and ceilings in Revit. Converting a scan into a BIM file hands that model to the team on day one, measured from the real space.
Rocky Mountain Photography was founded in 2016 by brothers Jeff and Nick Perry in Denver. We scan offices, retail suites, homes, schools, and older buildings across the metro and deliver BIM files for architects, interior designers, engineers, and building owners. We confirm the level of detail you need before scanning, so the model matches your project rather than a generic default.
A BIM file from a Matterport scan is delivered as a Revit project with the building's main elements modeled as native objects: exterior and interior walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, stairs, and openings, organized by level. Depending on the options selected, it can also include fixtures such as plumbing fixtures, built-in cabinets, and major equipment. The model is designed as a starting point for design development, so elements are editable and placed where they were measured. The original 3D tour stays available as a visual reference, and a MatterPak point cloud can be added so designers can check fine details the model does not include, like trim profiles or exposed pipes. Files are delivered with a short summary describing what is modeled, the Revit version, and what to verify before use, so your BIM manager can set expectations with the team.
Tenant improvement projects in downtown and suburban office buildings often begin with outdated or missing drawings, and a BIM file gives the team accurate existing conditions fast. Restaurant and retail buildouts benefit because layouts change frequently and older plans rarely match reality. School districts, churches, and nonprofits use BIM models for phased renovations and long-term planning. Facility managers at hospitals, campuses, and corporate headquarters use models for space management and maintenance. Historic buildings, common in neighborhoods like LoDo and Five Points, have irregular walls and many past alterations, so a measured model is especially helpful. For drafting teams that do not use Revit, our CAD file service is a simpler option, and the architect data integration page explains how both fit together. Construction teams can compare BIM files against later construction Matterport scans to track change over time.
Matterport-based BIM files are well suited to design development, space planning, and facility management. They are not survey-grade and should not be used for structural fabrication or legal boundaries; for those, ask about 3D laser scanning services or a licensed surveyor. Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems above ceilings and inside walls are not visible to the camera, so they are not modeled unless exposed. To order, send the address, building size, levels to include, Revit version, and any specific elements you need. We scan the property, process the model, and deliver the Revit file with the tour. If we already scanned the space for another purpose, a BIM file can often be ordered without a second visit. For multi-building campuses, we can phase the work by building so your team gets usable models quickly.

It is a Revit model of an existing building created from a Matterport scan, with walls, floors, doors, windows, and other main elements modeled by level. Denver design teams use it to start renovation projects from measured conditions.
Tell us the version your team uses and we will confirm compatibility before ordering. Revit files can be opened in newer versions, but not older ones, so matching your office's standard version avoids problems for your BIM team.
Only what the camera can see. Exposed ducts, pipes, and fixtures can be referenced through the point cloud, but systems hidden above ceilings or inside walls are not captured and are not modeled in the BIM file.
Scanning usually takes a few hours for a typical office suite or home. Model processing takes longer than a standard tour, and we confirm the delivery date when you order based on the building size and detail level.
Request a quote with the address, square footage, levels, and Revit version, or book online a Matterport scan and note that you need a BIM file. We will confirm scope, level of detail, and timing in writing before scanning.
