02 Capture

Reality, captured to the millimetre.

We capture existing buildings during operation. 37,000 m² in a single day, georeferenced and verified. What sits in the model by evening would have taken weeks by conventional survey.

Building captured as a point cloud from the air

Who it is for

  • For operators whose drawings never caught up with the last refit.
  • For planners who need a verified basis before they draw.
  • For sites that cannot afford a day of downtime.

What you get

  • Registered, georeferenced point cloud in the national coordinate system
  • Accuracy record with documented control points and deviations
  • 360° panoramas, walkable in the browser, no installation
  • Mesh and Gaussian splatting for visualisation and alignment
  • Handover in E57, RCP, LAS and the formats of your environment
  • Capture log with time windows, access routes and restricted areas

    Walk-through and time windows

    We walk the site in advance and set the time windows with your operations. In production and logistics we often scan during shift breaks or at night.

  2. 02

    Georeferencing

    Before scanning we set the control point network with a total station. The point cloud then sits correctly in the national coordinate system and matches every later construction phase.

  3. 03

    Capture

    Large areas run with mobile mapping in a single pass. Plant rooms, tight shafts and zones with high accuracy requirements are scanned terrestrially. Envelopes and roofs come by drone.

  4. 04

    Post processing and verification

    We register, filter and verify against the control points. Every deviation is documented. Only then does the point cloud go out.

Blind spots?

Not on our watch.

Terrestrial laser scanners for maximum accuracy, mobile mapping systems for large areas, drones for building envelopes, total stations for georeferencing. We pick the device by task, not by habit. Achievable indoor accuracy: 2 mm terrestrial, 5 mm with mobile mapping.

What is Gaussian splatting?

A method that computes a photorealistic, freely walkable view from imagery. For alignment with people who do not read point clouds, it is the most legible view.

Laser scanner at work. One set-up, millions of measured points.

Most buildings run on outdated data. Yours does not have to.
