3D Laser Scanning
Our 3D laser scanning service captures detailed site data using X7 Laser Scanners, producing highly accurate digital models. This technology enables precise measurements for complex structures, supporting architectural design and construction planning. Clients benefit from faster data collection and reduced site revisits, ensuring efficient project timelines.
Measured Building Surveys
We conduct comprehensive measured building surveys to create detailed floor plans and elevations. Using advanced equipment, we document existing structures with millimetre precision, aiding renovation or extension projects. Our surveys ensure clients have reliable data for planning applications and design development.
UAV Drone Surveys
UAV drone surveys provide aerial topographic data for large sites, offering cost-effective coverage of hard-to-reach areas. High-resolution imagery and 3D mapping support land development and infrastructure projects. This method ensures safety and efficiency while maintaining data accuracy.
Elevation Surveys
Elevation surveys map terrain features and contours, essential for drainage planning and construction projects. We use Trimble Total Stations to deliver precise elevation data, enabling informed design decisions. Results are presented in clear, easy-to-interpret formats for all stakeholders.
As Built Surveys
As built surveys verify completed construction against original designs, ensuring compliance with specifications. We document final structures using laser scanning and GPS technology, providing accurate records for asset management. This service supports quality control and project handover processes.
