BIM Technology also applies to the stage of surveying a building. The sequence of work when surveying a building in the BIM standard on the basis of laser scanning is as follows: The first task to be performed is tachymetric measurement. Afterwards, as a result of laser scanning, we obtain so-called point clouds, from which so-called orthophotoplans are generated. Based on these plans, a virtual model of a building is generated. After applying dimensions and annotation from the 3D (4D+5D) model, we can generate floor plans, cross-sections and eleva­tions, as well as various types of schedules.
