Business Details
Expert 3D Surveying & BIM Modelling Services
We are a specialist land and building surveying firm with over three decades of construction industry expertise. Our team of chartered surveyors, designers and modellers utilise cutting-edge 3D laser scanning technology to deliver unparalleled accuracy in survey data and building information models. We serve diverse clients including national utility companies, architects, local authorities and private individuals across domestic and commercial projects. Our Faro Focus Scanners capture over half a million data points per second, enabling production of precise 2D and 3D drawings through advanced Faro Scene software.We combine this technological precision with extensive technical knowledge to provide measured surveys, topographical assessments and BIM modelling services that eliminate rework and reduce project costs. Our sister company Charnwood Building Plans offers complementary design services including planning permission drawings and building regulations compliance documentation. With a 100% approval record for listed building projects, we maintain rigorous standards in both digital surveying and traditional architectural documentation.

Services
3D BIM Modelling
Our Building Information Modelling service creates intelligent 3D digital representations of physical buildings. Using BIM methodology, we help architecture and construction professionals optimise project planning, design and management. Our models provide comprehensive data for improved decision-making throughout a building's lifecycle.
Laser Scanning
We utilise high-precision Faro Focus Scanners to capture detailed 3D data of building interiors and exteriors. This technology produces accurate point cloud datasets that form the basis for creating precise architectural drawings and models. Our scanning services eliminate measurement errors and reduce rework requirements.
Measured Surveys
Our chartered surveyors conduct detailed measured building surveys using advanced laser technology. These surveys provide exact dimensional data for existing structures, essential for renovation projects, building regulations compliance and creating accurate architectural plans.
Topographical Survey
We provide comprehensive topographical surveys mapping land features and elevations using robotic total stations and 3D laser scanning. These surveys are crucial for construction planning, site development and infrastructure projects requiring precise terrain data.
Utilities GPR
Our ground penetrating radar services locate and map underground utilities with high accuracy. Combining GPR technology with traditional survey methods, we provide detailed subsurface information to prevent utility strikes during excavation works and construction projects.
Questions
What 3D surveying technologies do you use?
We use Faro Focus Scanners capturing over 500,000 data points per second, combined with Faro Scene software for precise point cloud generation and analysis.
Do you provide both 2D and 3D drawings?
Yes, our 3D scan data can be converted into both 2D technical drawings and 3D BIM models compatible with AutoCAD and Revit software packages.
What building types can you survey?
We survey all building types from domestic extensions to commercial properties and listed buildings, with specialist experience in historic structures.
Do you offer planning application services?
Through our sister company Charnwood Building Plans, we provide planning permission drawings and building regulations compliance documentation.
Can you survey underground utilities?
Yes, we combine ground penetrating radar with traditional utility surveys to accurately map subsurface services and infrastructure.
What areas do you cover?
While based in Leicestershire, we provide surveying services across the UK for both public and private sector clients.
