Process
How It Works
From first enquiry to data in your software: three steps, one fixed price.
Brief & Quote
Tell us about your project: building address, size, what you need. We provide a fixed-price quote promptly. No hidden costs, no surprises.
Site Scan
Our surveyor captures your property with 3D laser scanning equipment. Most residential buildings are completed in a single visit.
Your Data, Ready to Use
Point cloud data in the format your software needs (RCP for Revit, E57 for ArchiCAD), or 2D drawings as DWG with PDF copies for easy review.
Services
Scanning first.
Everything else optional.
Our core service is laser scanning with point cloud delivery. If you need drawings or a model instead, we produce those from the same scan data.
3D Laser Scanning & Point Cloud
Registered, cleaned point cloud data delivered in the exact format your design software needs. Ideal for architects and designers who want full control over their modelling workflow: you get the measured data, you build the model.
2D CAD Drawings
Accurate floor plans, elevations, sections, and reflected ceiling plans as AutoCAD DWG files. Perfect for planning applications and refurbishment projects.

Compatibility
Works with Your Design Software
Most surveyors deliver one default format and leave the conversion to you. We deliver data that opens straight in your tool of choice.
| Software | Format We Deliver | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Autodesk Revit | RCP via ReCap | BIM modelling, scan-to-BIM |
| ArchiCAD | E57 | Architectural design, renovation |
| SketchUp | E57 | Conceptual design, visualisation |
| AutoCAD | RCP | 2D drafting from point cloud |
