Services
3D Laser Scanning
3D laser scanning captures precise spatial data using time-of-flight and phase-based technologies. This non-invasive method reduces site visits while ensuring millimetre accuracy for complex structures. Clients receive detailed point cloud datasets for architectural analysis, construction planning, and heritage preservation projects.
Measured Building Surveys
Measured building surveys produce detailed floor plans, elevations, and sections using traditional and digital methods. These surveys support refurbishment, space planning, and compliance assessments. Deliverables include CAD drawings and BIM-ready models for commercial and residential properties.
Topographic Surveys
Topographic surveys map terrain features and surface details for land development projects. Using GPS and total station equipment, we create contour plans and digital terrain models. These surveys support infrastructure planning, drainage analysis, and environmental impact assessments.
3D Revit Models
3D Revit models convert survey data into intelligent BIM components for construction projects. These models integrate with architectural and engineering designs, enabling clash detection and construction sequencing. Clients benefit from improved project coordination and lifecycle management.
Underground Utility Surveys
Underground utility surveys locate and map buried services using electromagnetic detection and GPR technology. This prevents costly damages during excavation works. Deliverables include GIS-compatible datasets and risk assessment reports for safe site development.
