3D Laser Scanning Services

3D laser scanning is the most advanced method for capturing building measurements. Our high-precision laser scanners capture millions of measurement points in minutes, creating a detailed point cloud that records every surface, feature, and dimension with incredible accuracy.

This technology is ideal for complex buildings, heritage structures, industrial facilities, and projects where traditional hand measuring would be time-consuming or impractical. Laser scanning is faster, more accurate, and captures far more detail than conventional surveying methods.

Key Benefits:

  • Capture millions of measurements in minutes
  • Millimetre-level accuracy across entire buildings
  • Non-intrusive and minimal disruption
  • Ideal for complex or hard-to-reach areas
  • Complete 3D point cloud data for analysis
  • Perfect for heritage and listed buildings
  • Virtual site revisits without return visits

Applications:

As-built documentation, renovation projects, clash detection, facilities management, historical preservation, quality control, construction monitoring.

Scan to BIM Services

Scan to BIM (Building Information Modelling) transforms 3D laser scan point cloud data into intelligent 3D Revit models. These BIM models contain not just geometry, but also rich data about materials, components, systems, and spatial relationships.

Our scan to BIM process creates accurate, information-rich models that integrate seamlessly with your design workflows. From architectural elements to MEP systems and structural components, we deliver comprehensive BIM models to support renovation projects, facilities management, and new construction coordination.

What We Deliver:

  • Accurate 3D Revit BIM models (LOD 200-400)
  • Architectural, structural, and MEP models
  • Parametric building components
  • Clash detection and coordination support
  • Integration with existing BIM workflows
  • IFC format for software compatibility
  • Detailed component schedules and data

Perfect For:

Renovation projects, refurbishment planning, facilities management, clash detection, design coordination, heritage conservation, retrofit projects.

BIM Standards Compliance

All our scan to BIM models comply with ISO 19650 BIM standards and UK BIM Level 2 requirements, ensuring compatibility with your project workflows and industry best practices.

Topographical land survey using drone technology for accurate site measurements

Topographical Surveys

A topographical survey maps the natural and man-made features of land, recording ground levels, boundaries, drainage, vegetation, and existing structures. Our topographical surveys provide essential data for site planning, drainage design, and planning applications.

Using total stations, GPS equipment, and drone technology, we capture accurate survey data across sites of any size. Deliverables include detailed CAD drawings with contour information, spot heights, and feature annotations.

Survey Includes:

  • Ground levels and contour mapping
  • Site boundaries and fence lines
  • Existing buildings and structures
  • Trees, hedges, and vegetation
  • Roads, paths, and hard surfaces
  • Drainage features and watercourses
  • Utility covers and inspection chambers
  • Services and underground infrastructure

Uses:

Planning applications, site development, drainage design, landscape architecture, civil engineering, boundary disputes, environmental assessments.

Additional Surveying Services

Specialized survey solutions for specific project requirements across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

Service FAQs

Which measured survey service do I need? ▼
The right service depends on your project type and requirements. For architectural work and renovations, a measured building survey with floor plans and elevations is typically needed. For complex buildings or BIM workflows, 3D laser scanning with scan to BIM is ideal. Site development projects require topographical surveys. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and we'll recommend the most suitable solution.
What level of accuracy can I expect? ▼
Our 3D laser scanning technology delivers millimetre-level accuracy (±2-5mm typically). This exceeds RICS guidelines for measured surveys and provides the precision needed for architectural design, structural analysis, and construction coordination. Traditional hand-measured surveys typically achieve ±10-20mm accuracy by comparison.
How long does a measured survey take? ▼
On-site survey time varies by building size: 2-4 hours for residential properties, half-day to full-day for commercial buildings. Data processing and CAD drawing production typically takes 5-7 working days. Rush services with 2-3 day turnaround are available for urgent projects at additional cost.
Can you survey occupied buildings? ▼
Yes, 3D laser scanning is ideal for occupied buildings as it's fast and minimally disruptive. We can work around your schedule, including evenings and weekends. The scanning process is quiet and non-intrusive, allowing normal activities to continue in other areas of the building.
Do you provide quotes before starting work? ▼
Absolutely. We provide free, detailed quotes before any work begins. Just provide us with the site address, approximate size, and your requirements (floor plans, elevations, BIM model, etc.). We'll typically respond within 24 hours with a comprehensive quotation including scope of work, deliverables, and timeline.
What do I need to provide for the survey? ▼
We need site access at the agreed time and ideally clear access to all areas requiring survey. For best results, remove temporary obstructions where possible. For topographical surveys, we need information about site boundaries and any services or hazards. We'll provide a full briefing when booking your survey.
