Why 3D scanning

Why architecture & construction teams choose us

Laser scanning replaces assumptions with measured data. That changes how a project is designed, coordinated and built.

  • Survey-grade accuracy

    Millimetre-precise data you can design and build from with confidence.

  • Fast turnaround

    On-site capture in hours, deliverables processed and returned quickly.

  • CAD & BIM ready

    Point clouds and models delivered in the formats your team already uses.

  • Minimal site disruption

    Non-contact scanning works around live sites and occupied buildings.

  • Clash detection & verification

    Check as-built conditions against design intent before works begin.

  • One point of contact

    Direct access to our team from quote through to delivery.

Industries & applications

Who we work with

We work with the teams who design, verify and build in existing environments.

Architecture

Measured records of existing buildings so design work starts from real geometry rather than legacy drawings.

Construction

As-built capture, progress records and verification of built conditions against design intent.

Engineering

Dimensionally reliable data for structural assessment, coordination and reverse engineering.

Refurbishment & Renovation

Accurate as-built surveys of occupied and live buildings, captured without contact or disruption.

How it works

From enquiry to delivered data

  1. 01

    Discuss the requirement

    Tell us the site, the scope and the deliverable you need. We confirm what is achievable and quote against it.

  2. 02

    On-site laser scanning

    We capture the building, structure or site with the Trimble X9, working around access and occupancy.

  3. 03

    Processing & modelling

    Scans are registered, cleaned and colourised, then modelled to CAD or BIM where that is part of the scope.

  4. 04

    Delivery

    Data is returned in the formats your team already uses, with one point of contact throughout.

Our equipment

Trimble X9 3D laser scanning system

One scanner, chosen for the balance of range, speed and accuracy that architecture and construction work demands. Here is what those numbers mean on site.

80m

Scan range

Large facades and open sites covered from fewer positions.
1M pts/s

Scan speed

Dense capture in hours rather than days on site.
2mm

Range accuracy

Survey-grade data you can design and build from.
360°×282°

Field of view

Near-complete coverage per position, fewer blind spots.

Service area

3D laser scanning across the United Kingdom

Scannix 3D Ltd travels to site for laser scanning work throughout the UK, covering projects for architects, engineers and contractors wherever the building or site happens to be.

Coverage

Capture is planned around your site access and programme, so a single visit gathers everything needed for the deliverable. Tell us where the project is and we will confirm attendance and turnaround when we quote.
