Architectural design is as accurate as the survey basis. If the base is faulty, the plan will also be, and it will be revealed on the spot. innoScan 3D building survey provides a digital basis for design with a precision of a couple of mm, which can be imported directly into the software used. 520+ surveyed buildings | ArchiCAD, Revit, AutoCAD compatible.
Those who work on an existing building are familiar with the situation:
No blueprint: the building was made decades ago, the plans disappeared, destroyed, or never even existed in digital form.
Inaccurate dimensions: in the old blueprint, a deviation of 5-10 cm is not uncommon, and on one wall this is enough so that the planned furniture or window sill does not fit.
The missing third dimension: the traditional floor plan does not tell you the ceiling height, the height of the cornice, the position of the beams.
Surprises on site: during the renovation it turns out that the wall is not where in the drawing, that there is a pillar that no one has drawn, that the ceiling is 8 cm lower.
The laser scanner captures the entire space, not just selected dimensions. No corner, height or detail is left out.
Point cloud, 3D model, BIM model. Not just a 2D floor plan. The third dimension is also missing.
The data will be adapted to your software. ArchiCAD, Revit, AutoCAD: you can work immediately after import.
The location can be viewed from anywhere in the browser-based viewer. No need to go back to the site for a forgotten size.
The process is simple and transparent, from requesting a quote to handing over files.
We work together in four steps:
1. Request for quotation, project coordination: by request for quotation, e-mail, online or telephone consultation. Let's clarify: what is the size of the space, what is the purpose of the survey.
2. On-site survey: apartment, family house: typically half a day. Office building, condominium (500-2000 m²): 1-2 days. The survey does not stop the use of the building: we work noiselessly, quickly.
For exterior facade, high roof or industrial building with a large floor area drone survey can also be deployed for full geometric coverage.
3. Data processing: typically 2-5 working days depending on the size of the area. Multi-stage quality control, point cloud processing optimized with proprietary algorithms.
4. Handover: point cloud and online viewer access. On request: BIM model, 2D design documentation.
Transformation, renovation, change of functions of an existing building. 3D laser scanning provides an accurate capture of the existing state: this is the starting point on which the designs are built. The survey is done once, but you can use the data throughout the design and construction cycle.
In the case of monuments, it is of utmost importance to have a few millimeters of accuracy, staging monument documentation. The laser point cloud and 360 panoramic photos together provide geometric and visual documentation. The survey of Tihany Abbey is an example of this: 3 400 m² of monument level 3D model and design documentation.
Recording of the realized state: documentation of the real geometry after construction, which may differ from the plan. The as-built documentation the basis for operation and future transformations.
For accurate sizing, furniture design, kitchen design. Our page for interior designers discusses this use in detail.
For complex renovation or mechanical reconstruction on demand mechanical survey We also make use of existing MEP systems, so architectural and mechanical design are based on a common, precise basis.
We create optimized point cloud files that are compatible with all modern design software (ArchiCAD, Revit, Tekla, AutoCAD). It is possible to model on the point cloud, the surveyed building, area, equipment in geometry and dimensions, with guaranteed accurate dimensions.
On demand from the point cloud digital twin can also be created: with metadata linked to the geometry, operation and subsequent transformations can also be supported.
The price depends on the size of the area, the complexity of the site and the required outputs. We make a custom quote, the quote request is free, and we typically respond within 24 hours.
On-site work for properties under 800-1000 m² is typically within 1 business day. Processing takes 2-10 business days. An average apartment survey (100-200 m²) is completed in a total of 3 days, a larger building (10,000+ m²) 2-3 weeks.
ArchiCAD, Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and any software that handles point clouds (.e57, .rcp, .xyz or.las formats). The appropriate format will be provided by appointment.
Yes. Accuracy of a couple of mm, color point cloud, 360 panoramic photos. The reference for this is the survey of the Parliament House, Tihany Abbey, the Hungarian National Museum and several historic buildings in the city center.
The traditional survey is based on manual measurements and site notes: selected dimensions, in 2D. 3D laser scanning captures the entire space in three dimensions with an accuracy of a couple of millimeters. The data is digital, accessible from a browser, and any size can be extracted from it afterwards.
Depending on the content of the order: point cloud (can be imported into design software), online viewer (accessible from a browser), BIM model on request and 2D design documentation.
