This is how your project-specific fixed price is created at Points2BIM

The pricing in the Scan2BIM environment is still difficult for many clients to understand today: individual offers, long coordination loops, and prices that are only fixed after days or weeks.
Especially with changing object sizes and very different modeling requirements, this leads to uncertainty – and hinders projects.

At Points2BIM, we follow a different approach:
A fully automated quoting process with immediate fixed pricing, based on the actual project parameters.

In this article, we explain step by step how your offer is created – transparently, reproducibly, and without sales coordination.

1. Starting Point: Customer Account & Project Start

The quoting process begins with the creation of a customer account.
After logging in, you select "Create New Project" and thereby initiate a clearly structured project wizard.

This wizard is intentionally designed to only request price-relevant information – no more and no less.

2. Central Price Basis: Scan Size in Square Meters

The most important parameter for price calculation is the scan size in square meters.

It is important to note:

• Specification of the gross floor area of all floors

• Basis for calculation effort, modeling scope, and delivery time

• immediate recalculation of the price upon adjustment

Example:

• 1,000 m² → significantly lower modeling effort

• 4,000 m² → higher calculation and verification effort, accordingly higher price

This parameter ensures that both small and large projects are fairly and proportionally priced.

3. Project Classification: Building Type as a Complexity Factor

In the next step, you select the building type, for example:

• Residential building

• Office building

• Industrial building

• Hall

• Monument / historical building

• Other special constructions

The building type influences the pricing logic, as:

• Geometry

• Degrees of repetition

• typical variety of components

can vary greatly depending on the use.
An industrial building is assessed differently than a residential building or a listed object.

4. Optional: Order Point Cloud Directly via Points2BIM

If no point cloud is currently available, it can be added directly.

Available options include:

• Facility management point cloud

• Point cloud for renovation or remodeling planning

In this case, Points2BIM takes care of:

• Coordination of certified scan partners

• Quality assurance of the scan data

• seamless transfer into the BIM process

The price will also be immediately integrated into the overall offer.

5. The Basic Model: Clearly Defined, Always Included

Every project is based on the Points2BIM basic model (LOD 200).
This includes as standard:

• Walls

• Ceilings

• Windows and doors (openings)

• Rooms

• Floors / levels

• a simple roof

This basic model forms the basis for many application cases – from documentation of existing conditions to preliminary planning – and is always part of the offer.

6. Architectural Upgrades: Only Pay for What Is Really Needed

If you require a higher level of detail, you can selectively add architectural upgrades, such as:

• Stairs and ramps

• Balconies (optional with railings)

• Railings for stairs and balconies

• Roof details (e.g., dormers)

• Shafts and penetrations

• Complete roof constructions

• Windows with frames & opening directions

• Doors with frames & opening directions

• Wall materials

• Room designations & usage types

• Vaulted ceilings

Each selection has a direct and understandable impact on the price.

7. Site Upgrades: Context Instead of Just Buildings

If site information is relevant, additional site upgrades can be activated, such as:

• Site topography

• Layer structures

Here too, the rule applies:
Only select what is truly necessary for your project.

8. MEP Upgrades: Building Technology Can Be Added Optionally

For projects with a higher technical requirement, MEP upgrades are available, such as:

• Sanitary, water, and wastewater systems

• Heaters, air conditioning, and ventilation ducts

• Electrotechnics (cable trays, switches, sockets)

• Roof structures

Thus, the workflow is suitable for both architecture-focused and building services-oriented projects.

9. The Result: Immediate Fixed Price & Delivery Time

At the end of the wizard, you will see:

• the final offer price

• a realistic delivery time

• no price ranges

• no surprises later on

The displayed price is the price we commit to.

10. Project Start: Upload & Review

After clicking "Create New Project":

1. you upload your point cloud

2. we review the data

3. upon positive review, the model generation begins

4. the basic model is generated and then supplemented with the booked upgrades

Conclusion: Why This Approach Is Different

The Points2BIM workflow replaces:

• manual offer calculation

• opaque lump sums

• long coordination loops

with:

• project-specific pricing logic

• immediate fixed prices

• full control for the customer

Particularly for clients with changing object sizes and varying modeling needs, this creates planning certainty – before the first upload.
