Services
3D Laser Scanning
Our 3D laser scanning service captures detailed spatial data using X7 Laser Scanners. This technology creates precise digital models for building analysis, heritage preservation, and construction verification. Clients benefit from rapid data collection with millimetre accuracy, reducing site revisit requirements.
Measured Building Surveys
We produce detailed architectural drawings using total station and laser scanning technology. These surveys document existing structures for renovation, planning applications, or property records. Our clear presentation format suits both technical and non-technical users.
UAV Survey Services
Our UAV inspections capture aerial topographic data for large sites and difficult-to-access areas. This cost-effective method provides high-resolution imagery and elevation models for land development projects and infrastructure monitoring.
Coastal Surveys
Specialist coastal and hydrographic surveys map shoreline features and underwater topography. We use sonar and GPS technology to support marine construction, erosion studies, and environmental assessments along coastal regions.
Site Setting-Out
We establish precise reference points for new developments using total stations and GPS equipment. This service ensures accurate implementation of architectural plans during construction phases, minimising costly errors.
