We provide internal and external 3D laser house scanning across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast Ipswich, Northern suburbs and most of South East Queensland.
We capture existing buildings and surrounding areas as detailed 3D point cloud data, giving architects, building designers, engineers and builders an accurate digital record of what is actually on site.
Instead of relying on hand measurements, photos and return site visits, your team can access detailed spatial information directly from the scan.
Our fast and accurate 3D scanning service is suited to renovations, extensions, existing building documentation, architectural design, engineering, construction planning and as-built recording.
Traditional site measures rely heavily on measurements, sketches and photographs collected during a site visit.
A 3D scan captures far more information.
Our scanners record the visible surfaces of the building and surrounding areas as millions of measured points. Together, these points create a detailed three-dimensional representation known as a point cloud.
Your designer, architect or engineer can then use this data to measure existing conditions, develop an existing building model and check areas that may otherwise require another site visit.
For renovation and extension projects, this is particularly useful because existing buildings are rarely perfectly square, level or consistent with old plans.
We capture both internal and external building conditions in a single visit where access allows.
Our scans record walls, windows, doors, floor and ceiling levels, roof forms, stairs, structural elements, decks, retaining walls and other visible features.
The result is a detailed 3D record of the existing building that your project team can measure, review and refer back to throughout design and construction.
Our point cloud data is designed to fit into common architectural and BIM workflows.
For Revit users, we can provide RCP point cloud files that can be linked directly into your model. This allows designers to trace existing walls, check heights and dimensions, prepare sections and elevations, and model directly from captured site conditions.
We can also provide suitable point cloud formats for Archicad workflows.
New to point clouds? We can provide a free online or in-house Revit walkthrough with one of our licensed building designers.
3D scanning gives your project team one accurate digital reference for the existing building.
It is ideal for:
Designers can spend less time manually measuring. Engineers can review existing geometry and clearances. Builders can better understand existing conditions before work starts.
For homeowners, it means your designer starts with better information about the existing property.
Depending on your project, we can provide:
If your designer, architect or engineer has specific file requirements, let us know and we can tailor the deliverables.
A manual site measure only records what was measured on the day.
A 3D scan captures a much broader digital record of the visible building, allowing your project team to check dimensions and building features later without automatically returning to site.
This can mean fewer missed measurements, fewer return visits and a faster existing-conditions workflow.
3D laser scanning captures millions of measured points across the visible surfaces of a building or site. These points create a detailed 3D point cloud that can be measured and used as a reference for design and documentation.
A point cloud is a digital 3D representation of the existing building or site. Architects, designers, engineers and builders can use it to review dimensions, geometry and visible building features.
Yes. We can provide RCP point cloud files for Revit, allowing your designer to link the scan directly into their model and work from the captured building geometry.
Yes. We can provide point cloud data suitable for Archicad workflows. Let us know which software and version your designer uses when requesting a quote.
Yes. Where access allows, we can capture both internal and external areas during the same visit.
For many renovation and extension projects, it can significantly reduce the need for manual measuring. The point cloud also allows your designer to return to the captured data later to check dimensions they may not have originally considered.
3D scanning works well for renovations, extensions, house raises, commercial fitouts, existing building documentation, structural investigations, heritage buildings and other projects where accurate existing conditions are important.
No. A 3D scan is not an Identification or Boundary Survey. If you need your legal property boundaries identified or marked, we can quote this separately.
It depends on the project. A 3D scan captures the existing building and visible conditions, while a Detail and Contour Survey provides site levels, contours and other surveyed information often required for design and approvals.
For many extensions, renovations and new building projects, your designer may require both.
