2D and 3D geospatial surveying

Our Geospatial & Modelling Services

We utilise the latest surveying technology, including fixed terrestrial laser scanners, mobile scanning, and drones, to provide a comprehensive suite of 2D and 3D geospatial products. We have extensive experience across a wide range of sectors, from commercial office spaces and public authority buildings to highly sensitive heritage assets.

Measured Building Surveys

We capture the exact dimensions and spatial relationships of your existing building stock, providing the foundational drawings required by your design and engineering teams.

  • 2D Plans-sections, elevations, RCPs
  • 3D models- delivered in industry standard formats, CAD, Revit, IFC, NWS
  • 3D Point clouds and 360-degree imagery- interim deliverables which enable your design team to verify any assumptions made based upon as built information.
BIM Ready Surveys

Building Information Modelling (BIM) integrates precise geospatial data with rich, embedded asset information to create an intelligent digital model that supports every stage of your project.

  • We work closely with you to define the exact level of detail and data your project requires – both for the current survey and for future development phases. This ensures your 3D model contains the right information at the right time.
  • Through advanced, high‑accuracy scanning technology, we produce a complete digital representation of your asset. This forms a reliable, centralised database that enhances planning, design and long‑term asset management.
  • We can model your asset from existing record drawings, as is, post strip and prior to final fixes installation, working side by side with your design team from early concept design through to hand over of asset information model AIR.
Laser Scanning

Laser scanning allows us to accurately and efficiently capture full 3D geospatial datasets of any asset transforming how data is utilised across the project lifecycle.

  • We rapidly capture large scale areas in a short space of time, minimising tenant disruption and operational downtime. This is especially practical during ‘small windows of opportunity’.
  • We support monetary and time savings by scoping your survey brief to capture today’s priorities and tomorrows longer term aspirations. Measure once, use many times.
  • Hazardous or hard to reach areas can be measured remotely, ensuring full data coverage whilst reducing risk.
Rights of Light Modelling
  • Precision data for specialists: we provide the highly accurate geospatial information from which Rights of Light and daylight sunlight specialists perform their legal and spatial analysis.
  • Flexible formats: we produce 3D solid CAD models, Revit models or 2D plans and elevations based on detailed terrestrial or drone laser scanning.
  • Extend the scope of your 3D scan to include the neighbouring assets that could be impacted by your design changes or new build development. If we are already on site, the additional data capture costs are minimal. Scan and bank the ROL elevations only develop the 3D ROL model if required at a later date.
