Honed Laser Scanning Survey Methods

Our advanced laser scanning survey services mean that we are able to provide a variety of value added datasets. In addition, we continue to make use of the latest laser scanning applications, so that our clients receive the most beneficial set of results. If you wish to learn more about how a point cloud laser scanning survey could benefit the planning and execution of your project or building transformation, please contact us.

Point Cloud Data Delivery

Our advanced laser scanning services capture millions of precise measurement point to create comprehensive point cloud data for your project. Using state-of-the-art terrestrial laser scanning technology, we document existing buildings, complex structures, and industrial facilities with millimetric accuracy. These high-density point clouds serve as the foundation for all downstream deliverables, from traditional 2D drawings to sophisticated 3D models.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) Expertise

Transform raw point cloud data into intelligent Building Information Models with our comprehensive BIM modelling services. As specialists in point cloud to BIM conversion, we create detailed 3D models that contain not just geometric information but also valuable metadata about building components, materials, and systems.

Revit Modelling Expertise

As experienced Revit specialists, we convert laser scan data into precise, fully parametric Revit models tailored to your specific requirements. Our measured building surveys provide the foundation for accurate Revit models that faithfully represent existing conditions, whether for heritage conservation, renovation planning, or as-built documentation.

Our Revit modelling services are particularly valuable for retrofit projects where dimensional accuracy is crucial for avoiding costly on-site adjustments during construction.

As-Built Survey Documentation

Our as-built surveys provide comprehensive documentation of completed construction projects, creating an accurate digital record of the final built environment. Using laser scanning technology, we capture precise measurements of all building elements to verify construction accuracy and compliance with design specifications.

Heritage Building Scanning

Our specialist heritage building scanning services combine advanced laser scanning technology with traditional surveying expertise to document historic structures with exceptional detail and accuracy. From listed buildings to archaeological sites, we create comprehensive digital records that support conservation planning, restoration work, and heritage interpretation.

Our Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Laser Scanning Bim?

Laser scanning is the process of using different technologies to record and process data for the measurement of buildings and construction sectors.

Which Sectors can laser scanning be used?

Laser scanning can be used for a wide variety of sectors including retail, leisure, commercial buildings, and construction. There isn’t really a limit to the sectors, but it is always best to speak to our qualified surveyors to understand the right survey type for your requirements.

What is the difference between LiDar and laser scanning?

The use of LiDAR is great for collecting data for large areas and can be positioned in the air to collect this data. Whereas, laser scanning is great for collecting close up details on objects

How is laser scanning used in construction?

Laser scanning can be used in construction in order to capture detailed models of buildings allowing every tiny detail of the site to be captured into a digital form.
