Accuracy and Efficiency

Point Cloud Survey

Improve efficiency and eliminate errors with a Point Cloud measured survey. LIDAR surveying quickly captures detailed data from your site, ensuring your project moves smoothly and without costly errors.

To make sure you are free from slow downs and inaccuracies, deliverables can be tailored to meet your individual requirements. Files can be delivered in a range of 2D or 3D outputs.

Say goodbye to delays and errors.

Accurate as-built data capture

What is a Point Cloud Survey?

Fast becoming the industry norm, Point Cloud Survey, sometimes referred to as LIDAR or Laser surveys, seamlessly gathers all the geometric and colour information of a building’s structure, even capturing the most small and intricate features. This dramatically improves a survey’s accuracy, eliminates errors and reduces the on-site time required to survey a property.

Often completed for verification purposes, a Point Cloud measured survey can help identify differences between the original plan and actual construction – they can also be used for measuring floor plans, elevations, sections, etc.

A high standard, effective and efficient measured survey

Why Use a Point Cloud Survey?

Point Cloud Surveys are increasingly popular due to their ability to provide detailed and accurate measurements of physical spaces and structures. A point cloud survey dramatically reduces the number of assumptions and generalisations, to ensure a smooth and efficient project.

Datasets captured in a point cloud survey can produce a range of deliverables tailored to suit your project, or client needs.

Unmatched Accuracy

The LIDAR scanner captures millions of data points to create a highly precise 3D model of the surveyed area.
Measures intricate details and complex geometries that traditional surveying methods may miss.
Reduces human error, ensuring measurements are accurate

Wide Range of Output Options

Can be adapted to various formats, ensuring compatibility with other software tools and platforms.
Depending on the project’s needs, the level of detail can be adjusted.
The data can be used in many different ways, from creating basic visual models to complex simulations.

Efficiency and Time Savings

Collects comprehensive spatial data in a fraction of the time it takes for traditional surveying.
Allows for rapid data collection, minimising disruption to the surveyed site.
Speeds up the project timeline by providing immediate, actionable data.

Versatile Applications

Can be used for both indoor and outdoor surveys, adaptable to any environment.
Suitable for a wide range of industries, including construction, heritage preservation, manufacturing, and urban planning.
Supports various project phases, from initial planning and design to renovation and maintenance.

What’s the Process?

The 4 steps to getting a Point Cloud Survey

1. GET A QUOTE

The cost of a Point Cloud Survey is dependent on the size and scale of your site or building project. Scene3D will assess your project and requirements in order to provide an accurate quote – no hidden costs.

2. AGREE SURVEY DATE

Once the quote has been accepted we’ll look to schedule a date to conduct the Point Cloud Survey at your earliest convenience. We have several technicians so can usually be available to suit your schedule.

3. ON-SITE DATA CAPTURE

Our technicians will arrive at the scheduled time & place to conduct your Point Cloud Survey. All data capture of your site will be undertaken in a quick and efficient manner, making sure that all the required details are captured.

4. DELIVERY

Once our team have finished assembling the point cloud, we’ll then convert the raw data into your required deliverables. This can be in 2D outputs such as a DWG floorpan, a 3D output such as a Revit file or a mix of 2D & 3D files.

What is the project?
(is it a residential property, a commercial office or an industrial site for example)
What is the use case?
(For example: design & planning, property renovation or structural analysis)
What are your preferred deliverables?
(CAD drawings – such as elevations, floor plans and a ground site plan, or a Revit model for example)
Do you have any information about the space?
(An approximate Sq ft or floor plans is usually very helpful)
Where is the property located?
(With the full property address the surveyor can review the project using Google Earth which helps identify any access considerations)
Is there any other important info?
(Safety considerations, out of hours access, property condition or parking restrictions)

If you don’t know any of the above that’s ok, our expert team will be able to help. Or if you’d prefer just to get a bit more infomation we’re always happy to answer any questions you may have.

Case Study

Point Cloud Survey in Sheffield

Work completed:

Interior Point Cloud Survey

100%

Exterior Point Cloud Survey

100%

Scene3D were commissioned to undertake a Point Cloud Survey of a commercial property in Sheffield. The owner of the property plans to redevelop the building, so requested Scene3D to conduct an external topographical, and internal survey of the property in its current condition.
