3D laser scanning
Delivered nationwide, our 3D laser scanning services provide the high definition data you need to make truly informed decisions about your sites. By capturing millions of precise measurements, we create detailed digital representations that form the foundation for design, modelling and analysis.
High definition surveying
Whether you’re planning a refurbishment, managing a large development or documenting an existing structure, our 3D laser scanning services provide the accuracy and clarity you need, and all whilst reducing time and improving safety out on site.
How we work
Every project starts with a clear understanding of your goals and and exactly what you’re looking to get out of your survey. With that in place, our experienced survey team plans each scan carefully in order to guarantee every last detail is captured in the most efficient way possible.
Compared to more traditional survey methods, laser scanning requires significantly less time on site, despite capturing significantly more information in the process. That means faster data capture, fewer safety risks and less disruption to ongoing work, not to mention a vast point cloud of data that can be reviewed long into the future, eliminating return visits and keeping unnecessary costs to a minimum.
Once the scan data is processed, our delivery team provide clear, accurate outputs that fit seamlessly into your workflow, from 2D drawings to fully detailed 3D and BIM models.
