Laser Scanning Services
We have been providing laser scanning services for over a decade-plus of years. With the use of necessary tools and a scanning machine, the scanning process becomes more accessible and accurate. All this is possible with the help of LiDAR technology and another core process that makes it easier and more convenient without causing any damage to other parts of the structure.
Laser Scanning Services in India
We have extensive experience in BIM modeling and 3D Laser Scanning technologies. We offer the best service to help companies carry out better quality projects and save time and money. The scanner makes a 360º scan of all the details of both the facade and the interior. The result is a point cloud of millimeter precision that reflects the typical irregularities of a property to be rehabilitated.
Rehabilitation 3D Scanning
Facades and ornaments damaged by the passage of time, specific reforms carried out in the same block, facilities added abroad, etc. All these undocumented elements will be faithfully recorded in digital format and will be essential when designing specific technical solutions for each case. Thanks to the point cloud and the virtual visit, technical problems can be anticipated and work stoppages avoided.
Facade Ornaments 3D Scanning
The conservation and maintenance of the facade ornaments is an increasingly important issue due to the progressive deterioration that many buildings of protected architecture suffer in the structure. Combining different technologies (3D scanner, manual scanner, photogrammetry) we can document the sets in detail, model them in 3D in order to add them to our BIM model. This will be taken into account when planning the rehabilitation of the façade.
Historical Heritage 3D Scanning
3D scanner technology is a great ally when it comes to surveying buildings that are part of the architectural, historical and artistic heritage of a community. The point cloud laser scanning will capture in detail complex geometries of architectural elements, sculptures, valuable environments, etc. The information obtained will be a very valuable database to be able to analyze the current state of buildings of great age, without risk of damaging them. In this way we can address a conservation and maintenance plan with much more information.
Industrial Sector 3D Scanning
Scanning is a very useful technology in the Industry sector as it generates detailed documentation of an industrial plant through 3D laser surveying of the facilities that comprise it. The objective is to achieve improved plant management and facilitate equipment modification, expansion or replacement tasks. The 3D laser scanning buildings will help the owner to make decisions without risk of making mistakes and without having to make numerous visits to the plant to take measurements.
Our Laser Scanning Process
On-Site Laser Scanning
Prior to scanning, we coordinate with your team to prepare the site, minimizing disruption to ongoing activities. Our team captures high-density point cloud data using advanced laser scanners positioned at multiple angles to ensure thorough coverage of the site.
Point Cloud Data Processing
Once the scans are complete, we process the data by aligning and merging the different scans into a cohesive 3D point cloud. We filter out irrelevant data (such as temporary objects) to produce a clean and accurate dataset.
Model Creation
If you need more than just raw point cloud data, we can convert the scans into BIM models or 2D CAD drawings. These models are built to reflect real-world conditions with a high degree of accuracy, making them ready for immediate use in your project.
Comprehensive Quality Assurance
Quality control is a top priority at every stage of the process. We thoroughly check the point cloud data and any generated models for accuracy, ensuring that they meet both your project’s requirements and industry standards such as ISO.
Deliverables and Format Flexibility
We deliver the final point cloud data or converted models in the format that best suits your workflow, whether that’s a .RVT file for Revit, a .DWG file for AutoCAD, or another preferred format.
Post-Delivery Support and Updates
Our support doesn’t end with delivery. We remain available to assist with any questions or issues you may have regarding the data or models. Should your project require updates, we offer re-scanning services to capture changes in the site and ensure that your data remains current.

Laser Scanning is a technology used to capture highly detailed 3D representations of physical spaces. It works by emitting laser beams that bounce back from objects within the environment. These reflections are used to create a point cloud, which is a set of 3D coordinates that map out the surfaces of the scanned area. By collecting millions of these points, the scanner forms an accurate 3D model of the site.
- A point cloud is a collection of 3D data points gathered by a laser scanner. Each point represents a specific location on a surface, capturing its X, Y, and Z coordinates. These points are used to build a digital 3D model of the scanned environment, which can then be used in BIM (Building Information Modeling), CAD (Computer-Aided Design), or other modeling software for various applications like design, analysis, or project management.
- Laser scanning uses high-precision equipment such as terrestrial laser scanners, mobile scanners, or even drones equipped with LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). These devices vary in range, speed, and resolution, allowing us to choose the most suitable tool based on the specific requirements of the project, such as the size of the site, level of detail required, and environmental conditions.
- Yes, Laser Scanning can be performed in both indoor and outdoor environments. Indoor scans typically focus on capturing detailed features such as architectural details, MEP systems, and structural elements. Outdoor scans are commonly used for site surveys, topographical mapping, and capturing large infrastructure elements such as bridges, roads, or entire building facades.
- We offer data in a range of formats depending on the client’s needs. Common formats for point cloud data include .E57, .LAS, and .PTS. For 3D models, we deliver in formats compatible with BIM and CAD software, such as .RVT (Revit), .DWG (AutoCAD), and .IFC (Industry Foundation Classes). We also provide cloud-based access for easier collaboration and integration into your workflows.
- Laser Scanning uses laser beams to capture the geometry of an environment, while photogrammetry relies on overlapping photographs to create 3D models. Laser scanning tends to offer higher accuracy and is better suited for complex surfaces and indoor environments. Photogrammetry, on the other hand, is often used for large outdoor areas and can be more cost-effective for certain types of projects.
- Yes, Laser Scanning is highly effective for clash detection and coordination in construction projects. The highly accurate 3D point cloud data allows for the detection of conflicts between different systems (e.g., structural, MEP) before they occur on-site. This early identification of issues helps to prevent costly rework and delays during the construction phase.
- For renovation or refurbishment projects, Laser Scanning captures the existing conditions of the building or structure in great detail, providing an accurate “as-built” model. This data serves as a reliable foundation for planning modifications, ensuring that the new design integrates seamlessly with the existing structure and avoids any unforeseen issues.
