Services for the Construction and Civil Engineering Industries
Our seamless CPV service is perfect as the transition is made to BIM/CIM
It was decided by Cabinet that BIM/CIM should be applied in principle to all public works projects, excluding small-scale construction, by FY2023.
KIMOTO is Based on the know-how of image processing and data processing technology cultivated since our founding, We provide a full range of BIM/CIM-related services including measurement (acquisition of data tailored to the purpose using laser scanners, UAVs, etc.), processing (creation and editing of 3D models from design and as-built drawings and point cloud data), and viewing (provision of content for attraction using perspective andAR).

BIM/CIM Data Creation "x to BIM/CIM"
We create BIM/CIM data from design and as-built drawings/point cloud data.
*x To BIM/CIM: A coined term by KIMOTO representing the creation of BIM/CIM from drawings or point cloud data. Based on the know-how of image processing and data processing technology cultivated since our founding, we support various data formats.
Creation of 3D models from drawings
Creation of 3D models from point cloud data
Compliance with BIM/CIM implementation guidelines
We can handle data creation for various classifications, such as structures and terrain. We also offer attribute assignment and design review (interference check) services.
Compliance with the latest requirements
Evaluation of construction plans using 4D models: We can also create construction step models.
Estimation of approximate construction costs: We assist with tasks like calculating the number of reinforcing rods and quantifying earthworks for cost estimation.
KIMOTO Toolbar: Add-on Tool for Autodesk Civil 3D
"KIMOTO Toolbar" is an add-on software developed by KIMOTO for use with Civil 3D.
By using this tool to process large volumes of data in bulk, you can reduce the burden of data entry, minimize human errors, and improve operational efficiency.
CityGML Conversion Service
From various data formats to PLATEAU-compliant 3D city models.
The development of 3D city models is progressing nationwide in Japan through the "PLATEAU" project, a 3D city model initiative led by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
This service converts your various data into the CityGML format compliant with the 3D City Model Standard Product Specification (Version 4.0).
Supported formats
Input formats: DWG, DXF, SHP, etc. (Attribute information is also supported).
Delivery format: CityGML format (LOD0, LOD1, LOD2).
We also support conversion from CityGML format to various other formats.
Amid the growing need for PLATEAU compliance,
"We don't know how to convert existing CAD/GIS data to CityGML," and "Creating data according to the specifications is time-consuming and labor-intensive."
We support municipalities and businesses facing challenges such as "lacking in-house expertise in CityGML or PLATEAU."
Please feel free to consult with us.

Service for Creating Plan Views and Longitudinal/Cross-Sectional Views from Point Cloud Data
We create plan and cross-sectional drawings that accurately capture the current conditions and can be directly utilized for design, maintenance, and various consultations.
In Japan, a country prone to many disasters, the use of UAVs (drones) and various laser surveying techniques in recovery and reconstruction work has been rapidly advancing in recent years.
Consequently, high-precision drawing creation utilizing point cloud data is becoming mainstream, alongside traditional surveying-based drawing creation.
At KIMOTO, we create various drawings such as plan views (topographic maps), longitudinal sections, and cross-sections based on point cloud data obtained through various measurement methods.
We can flexibly respond to sites affected by disasters and sites requiring rapid drawing creation.
Construction and civil engineering professionals who have point cloud data but face challenges in creating the drawings necessary for design and various consultations, please feel free to contact us for an initial consultation.

Supported point cloud data
We support point cloud data obtained through various laser surveying methods, including terrestrial laser, airborne laser, mobile laser, UAV (drone) laser, and SLAM laser.
We can also handle post-measurement point cloud data processing, such as filtering and noise reduction.
Delivery Format
Data in DWG, DXF, and SFC formats
Drawing example
These are examples of 2D floor plans, 3D floor plans, and cross-sectional drawings created based on point cloud data.
3D Modeling Data for Construction Vehicles and Human Models
We offer versatile models for use in creating BIM/CIM construction steps.
Alternatively, we can create customized or new models.

KIMOTO360 EDITOR＆VIEWER
This software allows you to navigate freely within spaces captured using a 360° camera.
It can be widely used for tasks such as design, maintenance, current status understanding, planning, renovation, education, and simulation support. Various files can be attached and viewed on the omnidirectional image, and the operation is simple with just a mouse. Since the file size is small, processing is fast and there is no need to connect to the cloud.
Assessment of Current Condition
It captures angles that cannot be captured with a regular camera, covering 360° in all directions, making it easier to understand the shooting locations even in structures with similar shapes or narrow spaces. Files attached to the omnidirectional image can be identified by the color of the file icon. Clicking on the file icon opens it, allowing you to check the contents.
Maintenance and Inspection
Even if you are not on-site, you can view the site from the same perspective as if you were at the actual location or facility. You can manage information for the entire area under management in one go, and it is also possible to search and compare large amounts of data.
