3D laser scanning and BIM surveys in Brisbane.

A measured building survey records an existing building's layout, dimensions and visible features. Often called a floor plan survey or an as‑built survey, it provides an up‑to‑date record of existing conditions for renovations, extensions and fit‑outs.

Our surveys are different from a traditional floor plan survey because we produce a comprehensive 3D BIM model for use directly in your design software (Revit, ArchiCAD, AutoCAD, etc).

A BIM survey is a type of measured building survey that captures an existing building and turns it into a 3D BIM model instead of 2D floor plans.

Unlike traditional 2D floor plans, which show the layout at each level, a BIM model represents the building in 3D, including the agreed architectural and structural elements, MEP services and fixtures.

The advantage is that this file can be used directly in the design software most architects, engineers and designers use.

In addition, floor plans, elevations and sections can all be exported as .dwg or .pdf from the same model, giving everyone on your project team an accurate picture of building dimensions and features.

A contour and detail survey records the levels, contours, features and services on your site so your design team knows exactly what's there. Our surveys are captured in 3D with laser scanning, so you get a 3D model of the site as well as the typical site plan drawing in DWG and PDF.

Yes. It's also called a site survey, feature survey or detail and level survey. It shows the levels, contours, features and services on your site. The survey is used when planning and designing new builds or redevelopments.

A structure and object survey measures existing steelwork, equipment, machinery, glazing and other objects using 3D laser scanning. We turn the scan into an as‑built 3D model and dimensioned drawings suitable for design and manufacturing.

We use 3D laser scanning, a remote measurement method that allows us to measure objects from a distance. Generally, if it can be seen, we can scan it.

We've scanned steel structures, plant equipment and pipework, machine parts, and curved glazing on superyachts and buildings.

A floor or slab flatness survey measures how flat and/or level a floor is. We 3D laser scan the slab and produce a colour‑coded deviation map showing high and low spots, so you can see where it doesn't meet the design or construction standard.

Common reasons include checking a new slab before floor finishes go down, preparing for racking or machinery installation, investigating uneven floors, and confirming a builder's work before handover.

3D laser scanning is a non‑contact technology that uses lasers to capture the exact physical shape and dimensions of a site or structure. The scanner projects millions of laser points per second to create a highly accurate digital replica made of point data—known as a point cloud.

Compared to manual or traditional methods, 3D laser scanning is significantly faster, safer, and more comprehensive. It captures millions of measurement points in minutes, reduces missed measurements and return site visits, and records complex or hard‑to‑reach features in detail. Your design team can also check dimensions remotely in the point cloud and walkthrough.

Scan to BIM turns a 3D laser scan into a BIM model. We use the point cloud to build an accurate BIM model in Revit or IFC of an existing building, site or structure, so your team can design directly on top of it.

A point cloud is the raw 3D laser scan: millions of measured points showing the surfaces captured on site. It's an accurate visual record, but it doesn't know what anything is. A wall is just a dense patch of points.

A BIM model is built from the point cloud. We model each element as a real building component, such as a wall, door, beam or pipe, with its size, position and type. Your team can design directly with it, and floor plans, elevations and sections can be produced from the same model.

In short: the point cloud records what's there. The BIM model turns it into building elements your design team can work with.
