3D laser scanning and digital as-built surveys
We capture plants, buildings and infrastructure contact-free and with precision – and deliver the point cloud, CAD or BIM model for revamps and extensions.
The task
Design on the plant as it really is.
What you want
- You want to design revamps on the actual as-built state.
- You want everything to fit on site.
- You want survey and design from one source.
Our solution
- Laser scanning with our own scanner and team.
- Point cloud in ReCap, model in EdgeWise, Plant 3D or Revit.
- Clash detection in Navisworks.
Your advantage
- Time saved
- Fewer re-survey appointments.
- Competitive edge
- Design on a reliable as-built.
- Simpler
- Survey, model and design from one source.
- Added value
- Digital twin for later revamps.

Services
Laser scan survey
Plants, buildings, technical infrastructure.
Point cloud
Registered, cleaned up, in common formats.
CAD modeling
Piping and steel structures from the point cloud.
BIM & digital twin
Models for Revit, Plant 3D and Navisworks.
2D derivation
Floor plans, longitudinal and cross sections – e.g. as a basis for conversions, also for residential buildings via architects and planning offices.
Training & support
ReCap, EdgeWise, Navisworks.

Frequently asked questions
Is the data compatible with CAD?
Yes, with common CAD and BIM systems – can be integrated directly into the design.
Is it worthwhile for small projects?
Yes, from detailed captures to large projects.
Also for private homes?
Yes – commissioned via your architecture or planning office: surveys of existing and old buildings, floor plans, sections and elevations as a basis for conversion and renovation.
Estimate the effort for your scan project
Describe the object, have documents evaluated as a ZIP, check the bill of quantities – scan positions, days on site and modeling hours as guide values, with a summary for a specific quote.
