Case study / BIMStructural BIM for a historic horse racing facility

Point clouds became heritage-grade BIM.

Point cloud data from a historic horse racing facility was converted into a LoD 300 structural BIM model for preservation-led renovation.

Renovation context

Point cloud data from a historic horse racing facility was converted into a LoD 300 structural BIM model for preservation-led renovation.

The challenge

The facility required modern refurbishment while preserving the historical character of the structure.

Raw point cloud data had to be translated into a LoD 300 model with accurate steel framework and architectural elements.

The approach

SBL aligned preservation requirements with BIM modelling rules before converting scan data into Revit components.

Structural and heritage checks verified that the digital model mirrored the existing conditions.

Stage 01

Align

Map preservation and structural modelling requirements.

Stage 02

Model

Convert point cloud data into LoD 300 Revit geometry.

Stage 03

Check

Review model fidelity against the historic structure.

The result

The client received a renovation-ready BIM model that reduced ambiguity for design and construction teams.

  • A LoD 300 structural BIM model was created from point cloud data.
  • Steel framework and architectural elements were captured in Revit.
  • Preservation requirements informed the modelling workflow.
  • The output supported high-stakes renovation planning.
