High-accuracy 3D laser scanning, delivered as registered, cleaned and organised point-cloud data for your CAD, BIM and design workflows. Point-cloud-only surveys across London and the UK, with formats and viewing options agreed around your project.
A point cloud survey records visible surfaces as a coordinated set of measured 3D points. It gives your team a detailed spatial record of the surveyed building or site, including the irregular geometry that older drawings may miss.
Geo Scan combines 3D laser scanning expertise with careful registration, cleaning and preparation. You can commission the point cloud as the complete deliverable, ready for your own team to use. CAD drawings and Revit or IFC models can be scoped separately when needed.
Dependable survey information, supported by auditable quality-control processes. We agree the required accuracy, coverage and coordinate framework around how your team intends to use the data.
Quality depends on the complete survey: capture planning, scan overlap, registration, control and checks. Scanner specifications and point density alone do not establish the accuracy of the finished dataset.
Laser scanning records visible surfaces. Enclosed, covered or inaccessible areas require suitable access or a separately agreed method; cleaning cannot recover geometry that was never captured.
Registration, scan overlap and any specified control are reviewed against the agreed survey requirements.
Relevant access restrictions and gaps are identified. Cleaning cannot recover surfaces that were not captured.
Coordinates, units and specified survey control are checked against the project brief.
Agreed formats, companion files and delivery structure are checked for the receiving workflow.
Point-cloud-only delivery lets your team start working with the survey without waiting for a separate drawing or modelling stage. We confirm timescales around the size, access and processing requirements of your project.
Define the survey extent, intended use, accuracy, formats, access and programme.
Plan scan positions and coverage around the building, its use and the agreed requirements.
Register, clean, filter, segment and sample the point cloud for the receiving workflow.
Review the dataset and issue the agreed files and any specified viewing outputs.
We agree the receiving software, formats, coordinates, units and file structure before delivery. Floor-by-floor and internal/external segmentation makes larger surveys easier to navigate and work with.
E57, RCP/RCS and other agreed formats for your design or review environment. Required companion files are supplied together.
Scan Explorer or TruView outputs can be provided where specified and supported by the capture and publication workflow.
Browser-based viewing can make the survey accessible to the wider team. Access arrangements and hosting duration are agreed as part of the scope.
Yes. The registered, cleaned and prepared point cloud can be your complete survey deliverable. It is suitable for teams that want to inspect the geometry or carry out their own CAD or BIM production. Drawings and models are separately scoped when required.
E57, RCP/RCS and other agreed exchange formats can be supplied to suit the receiving software. Tell us which software and version your team uses. We agree coordinates, units, colour requirements, sampling and file structure before delivery, and include any companion files needed to open the dataset.
The required accuracy is agreed around the intended use and site conditions. Capture geometry, registration, control and checking all contribute to the finished result. A low registration residual or high point density is not a guarantee of whole-survey accuracy. We can discuss specific tolerances and critical interfaces when defining the brief.
Yes. We can segment the survey into individual floors and internal or external areas where appropriate. This helps your team isolate relevant parts of a larger dataset. Segmentation preserves the agreed coordinate framework so the separate areas can still be used together.
Walkthroughs and online viewers can be included where specified. Options include Scan Explorer and TruView outputs where supported by the survey workflow. We agree the viewing features, access arrangements and any hosting duration before delivery.
Site size and complexity, access, coverage, colour capture, survey control, processing and delivery requirements all affect the fee and timescales. Send the site address, approximate extent, intended use and target programme. We will confirm a project-specific scope and quotation.
