Core Service

3D Laser Scanning Services

Document existing buildings, construction sites and industrial facilities with 3D laser scanning. We plan field capture around your site and deliver the point cloud, drawings or BIM model agreed for your project.

What You Receive

See the Site as One Connected Point Cloud

A registered point cloud brings visible building and equipment geometry into one spatial reference. Your designers can inspect relationships, review dimensions and develop the drawings or models needed for the next stage.

Project Guidance

What does a professional 3D laser scanning service include?

We define the areas to capture, plan scanner positions and check coverage in the field. The scans are aligned into a registered point cloud. Your scope can also include as-built drawings or a BIM model, with formats, coordinates and accuracy requirements agreed before work starts.

01

Plan the fieldwork before the first scan

We identify the areas and features your team needs to measure. Site access, safety, working distance and surface conditions then guide scanner placement and the order of fieldwork. Any survey-control or coordinate requirements are agreed before capture.

02

Build coverage through line of sight and overlap

A scanner records the surfaces it can see. Corners, equipment and ceiling systems can hide important details, so we use overlapping views where access allows. Reflective finishes and restricted areas may still limit what can be captured.

  • Interior and exterior station planning
  • Congested mechanical and industrial areas
  • Resolution and range selected for relevant features
  • Overlap for downstream registration
03

Check the field record, then prepare the handoff

Where site access allows, we review coverage and alignment before leaving. We note inaccessible or hidden areas, then organize the scans for registration and the agreed point-cloud, CAD or BIM output.

04

Match capture density to the downstream decision

Scan density depends on what your team needs to use or measure. A renovation floor plan, a pipe connection and a façade inspection need different levels of detail. We agree the critical features and tolerances before selecting resolution and scanner spacing.

  • Critical feature sizes and interfaces
  • Project-specific tolerance and control requirements
  • Required point-cloud, CAD or BIM output
  • Software version, coordinates and review method
05

Plan complex and access-sensitive environments

Our experience includes stadiums, cruise ships and Miami and South Florida high-rises and condominiums. These environments can involve long sight lines, repetitive geometry, vertical circulation, dense systems, occupied areas, security procedures and restricted work windows. We plan coverage and mobilization around the actual site constraints instead of treating them as generic floor area.

06

Protect confidential project information

Many reality-capture assignments are governed by nondisclosure, security or owner confidentiality requirements. We describe relevant project categories and technical workflows without publishing protected client identities, locations, imagery, dimensions or outcomes. Category-level experience is not presented as a public customer case study.
