Reality IMT, a leading provider of high-definition 3D laser scanning and reality capture services, today announced the successful, rapid delivery of detailed Building Information Models (BIM) for Rice University’s Jones Hall and Brown Tower. The entire process—from initial scan to final BIM model—was completed in a challenging six-day turnaround, allowing Rice University’s architectural and engineering teams to immediately begin work on a highly accelerated renovation schedule.

The project involved documenting the entire as-built condition of the multi-story Brown Tower and the adjacent Jones Hall, a historic structure. Traditional manual measurement methods would have taken weeks to complete and would have required significant disruption to the campus. Reality IMT’s deployment of a blended stationary and mobile LiDAR capture strategy was essential to meeting the project’s aggressive deadline.

“In the AEC industry, time is often the single most critical factor, especially when dealing with historic or operational facilities,” said Ala Hamdan, CEO of Reality IMT. “Our ability to deliver fully coordinated, LOD 300 Revit models in less than a week for a complex university project proves the power of our technology and workflow. We don’t just deliver data; we deliver time savings and decision support.”
