Digital Capture

Every dimension.
Every detail. Captured.

We create millimetre-accurate digital replicas of buildings using LiDAR scanning, photogrammetry, and immersive 3D technology. Whether you need a scan-to-BIM model, a digital twin, or an immersive virtual tour — we capture your building exactly as it is.

Our Services

Six ways to capture your building.

LiDAR Scanning & Point Cloud Surveys

High-density laser scanning that captures millions of measurement points per second. We deliver registered, georeferenced point clouds that serve as the definitive record of your building — accurate to within 0.5mm.

Deliverables: Registered point cloud (E57, LAS, RCP), 2D floor plans, sections, elevations, measured survey drawings

Scan-to-BIM

We convert point cloud data into intelligent Revit models at your required Level of Detail. From LOD 200 concept models to LOD 400 fabrication-ready models, we build BIM assets that your design team can work from immediately.

Deliverables: Revit model (RVT), IFC, COBie data, model audit report

Matterport 3D Virtual Tours

Immersive, walkable 3D tours that let stakeholders explore your building from anywhere. Perfect for client presentations, remote inspections, facilities management, and marketing.

Deliverables: Hosted 3D tour (shareable link), schematic floor plans, measurement data, point cloud export

Digital Twin Creation

A living digital replica of your building that combines 3D spatial data with performance information. Use it for ongoing asset management, planned maintenance, retrofit planning, or as a platform for integrating IoT sensor data.

Deliverables: Digital twin platform access, integrated 3D model + data layers, training session

Heritage & Conservation Recording

Detailed measured building surveys for listed buildings, conservation areas, and heritage assets. We produce records that meet Historic Environment Scotland and ICOMOS documentation standards.

Deliverables: Heritage recording report, measured drawings, point cloud archive, photographic record

Drone Aerial Surveys & Photogrammetry

CAA-licensed drone surveys for roof inspections, site context photography, photogrammetric modelling, and large-area mapping. We capture perspectives that ground-based surveys simply cannot reach.

Deliverables: Orthomosaic maps, 3D photogrammetric models, high-resolution aerial photography

Housing Associations

Digital records of stock condition across your portfolio.

Heritage Organisations

Preservation-quality records of listed buildings and conservation areas.

Facilities Managers

Interactive 3D models for maintenance planning and asset management.

Contractors

Clash detection and coordination before you break ground.

Property Developers

Marketing tours and pre-construction documentation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does 3D scanning cost in Scotland? +
Costs depend on the size and complexity of the building. A typical single-building LiDAR scan starts from around £500-800 for a small property, with larger or more complex projects quoted individually. Matterport 3D tours start from around £300. Contact us for a specific quote — we'll scope your project and give you a clear price with no surprises.
What's the difference between LiDAR scanning and Matterport? +
LiDAR scanning captures survey-grade point cloud data accurate to 0.5mm — ideal for producing measured drawings, BIM models, and engineering-grade deliverables. Matterport creates immersive 3D virtual tours that are great for walkthroughs, property marketing, and facilities management. We often use both together on the same project for the best of both worlds.
What is scan-to-BIM and what LOD do you deliver? +
Scan-to-BIM is the process of converting 3D point cloud data into an intelligent Revit model. We deliver at your required Level of Detail — from LOD 200 for concept design through to LOD 400 for fabrication. Most architectural projects need LOD 300, which includes accurate geometry, dimensions, and material assignments.
How long does a typical 3D scanning survey take? +
A small to medium building (under 500m²) typically takes half a day to a full day on site. Larger buildings or multi-building sites may take 2-3 days. Processing and deliverable production takes 5-10 working days depending on the output required.
Do you cover all of Scotland and the UK? +
Yes. We're based in Glasgow and work across the whole of Scotland and the UK. We regularly survey in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, and the Highlands, as well as throughout England and Wales.
