3D Scanning for Construction

Digital capture and visual documentation of buildings

Digital twin of your building

Matterport Pro3 records visible spaces and surfaces with LiDAR and a 20 MP camera system. The result can support visual documentation and, with the appropriate agreed export products, downstream technical workflows.

An interactive 3D view can be explored online. Point-cloud, CAD, and BIM deliverables must be specified and priced separately.

  • ±20 mm at 10 m under the manufacturer's specification
  • Interactive 3D view
  • 2D floor plans by agreement
  • E57 point cloud as a separate add-on
  • CAD or BIM workflow by agreement

Applications

3D scanning is used in construction, architecture, and facility management for digital capture of existing buildings and visual documentation of construction projects. Tolerance, format, and post-processing requirements are agreed for each project.

We have experience scanning everything from small apartments to large commercial buildings and cultural heritage monuments.

  • Renovation and refurbishment
  • Facility management
  • Architectural projects
  • Construction documentation
  • Heritage and conservation

Professional equipment

Matterport Pro3 combines LiDAR with a 20 MP camera system. The manufacturer's range of up to 100 metres applies to capture for E57 output; practical range and accuracy depend on site conditions.

  • LiDAR + 20 MP imaging system
  • Up to 100 m for E57 capture under the manufacturer's specification
  • Automatic colour correction

Export options

We agree the output and required processing before capture. E57, BIM files and other technical deliverables depend on the project and may require paid Matterport add-ons or external modelling.

  • E57 point cloud by agreement
  • OBJ 3D mesh by agreement
  • BIM output by agreement
  • Floor plans by agreement
  • Interactive online 3D model

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about 3D scanning for construction

3D scanning for construction records visible spaces and surfaces digitally. A Matterport capture can be delivered as an interactive 3D view; point-cloud, CAD, and BIM workflows require the format, tolerance, and post-processing to be agreed separately.
3D scanning can support visual documentation, renovation discussions, facility management, and architecture. Whether the data is suitable for design or as-built purposes depends on the project's tolerance requirements and the specifically agreed deliverable.
The Matterport Pro3 is specified by the manufacturer at ±20 mm accuracy at a distance of 10 metres. Practical accuracy depends on site conditions, so we clarify the required tolerance and suitable output before the project.
The price depends on the size and complexity of the building. Contact us for a free quote tailored to your specific project.
We agree the file format and required processing for your workflow before capture. An interactive web tour is one option; E57 point clouds, BIM output, floor plans and other technical deliverables are available by specific agreement and may require paid Matterport add-ons or external modelling.
It can support a BIM workflow when the required point-cloud or model output is agreed in advance. E57 and BIM deliverables are not assumed to be part of every scan and may require additional Matterport processing or external modelling.
