3D site model & point-cloud scanning

Accurate 3D point clouds, exterior building models, and Revit-ready capture files. Drop the data into Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Navisworks, SketchUp, or Rhino, and start designing from what is actually there.

Workflow

How a 3D scan project moves from the first site visit to a file your design team can open and work on.

01 · Capture

On site

We scan the building on site with laser or photogrammetry, depending on what the project needs. Interior, roof, and exterior captured to the level of detail your team requires.

02 · Process

Process in-house

The capture is processed in-house into the formats your software opens directly. Verified against control points before it ships.

03 · Deliver

Ready to use

You receive Revit-ready point-cloud files alongside open-format clouds, plus extracted orthos, plans, and elevations. Open and start designing.

Supported file formats

Drop the cloud straight into the design tool your team uses. No painful conversion step. Open formats for everything else.

Accuracy

Every project ships with a control summary so your team knows exactly what tolerance to design within.

Why this matters for designers

The case for skipping the "verify on site after the design is half done" step.

Model on top of reality

Your Revit walls snap to actual measurements, not someone's recollection. Existing services, beams, and bulkheads show up where they really are.

Catch issues before site

Conflicts with existing structure, ceiling heights, slope, or clearances are visible from the office. Fewer surprises on day one of construction.

Fewer site revisits

A scanned site goes home with you. Need a measurement you forgot? Open the cloud. No need to book another visit.

What a typical scan project includes

Scope is built around the decisions your team needs to make next. The list below is the most common deliverable mix for an exterior + key interior scan of a mid-sized commercial building. Heavier or lighter packages on request.

  • Revit-ready point-cloud file for direct import into Revit, Navisworks, or Civil 3D.
  • Open-format cloud (.e57, .las, .laz) for survey and GIS workflows.
  • Orthomosaic of the roof and ground at sub-2 cm/px ground sample distance.
  • Extracted DWG plan, elevation, and roof views at a confirmed scale.
  • Reference photo set captured during the scan.
  • Accuracy summary so your team knows the working tolerance.

Where the 3D model is most useful

Roof & envelopePlan re-roofing, drainage, mechanical placement, façade work.
Adaptive reuseModel new interiors against the actual existing shell.
BIM & clash detectionRun MEP and structural coordination against measured geometry.
Access-limited sitesDocument buildings where full interior access isn't practical.

Note on scope

Our 3D site models capture visible, measurable conditions. Where legal boundaries, official setbacks, or grading information are required, an Ontario Land Surveyor's plan or an engineer's drawing should be used.
