Introduction
Welcome to Scan Survey Ltd., your trusted partner for precise and efficient as-built surveys using state-of-the-art laser scanning technology. Our services ensure that completed construction projects align with the original design specifications and accurately document existing conditions for renovation, maintenance, and management purposes.
Why Choose Laser Scanning for As-Built Surveys?
Laser scanning offers exceptional accuracy, achieving millimetre-level precision with advanced technology. This method is significantly faster than traditional surveying techniques, reducing the time required on-site. The comprehensive data collected through laser scanning captures millions of data points, creating a detailed 3D model of your project. Safety is enhanced by performing non-intrusive scanning from a distance, which minimises the need for scaffolding or extensive safety measures. The versatile applications of the detailed data include CAD modelling, BIM integration, and virtual walkthroughs, among others.
Our Technology and Tools
At Scan Survey Ltd., we use high-quality terrestrial laser scanners to capture precise data. Our team processes and interprets the scanned data using advanced software tools, ensuring we deliver the most accurate and useful results to our clients.
Our Process
We start by defining the survey scope and objectives, identifying key areas to be scanned, and planning scanner positions. Our team sets up the laser scanner at various locations around your site, emitting laser beams that measure distances to surfaces and capture detailed spatial information. The collected point cloud data is then imported into specialised software for processing. We register and align multiple scans to create a unified 3D model. By analysing the point cloud data, we extract meaningful information and create detailed CAD drawings or BIM models as required. Finally, we compare the as-built data with design specifications to ensure compliance, identifying any discrepancies and documenting them for correction.

Applications of Our As-Built Surveys
Our as-built surveys are ideal for construction verification, ensuring that your construction projects align with the design plans. For renovation projects, we accurately document existing conditions to aid in planning modifications. Facility management benefits from precise models for maintenance and operations, while heritage conservation efforts gain from detailed documentation of historical structures for preservation.
Case Study
In a recent project involving the construction of a new reinforced concrete office building, our objective was to create an accurate as-built model of the newly completed structure to facilitate future planning and maintenance. Our laser scanner was set up at multiple locations around the building to capture the entire structure. The collected point cloud data was processed using advanced software to create a detailed 3D model.
The as-built model highlighted any discrepancies between the original plans and the actual construction, ensuring precise documentation and aiding in the efficient planning of future activities. This model served as a crucial tool for identifying structural deviations, potential issues, and areas needing adjustment. By comparing the as-built model with the original design, we were able to verify the integrity of the construction and ensure compliance with design specifications.
In addition to the 3D model, we also developed precise 2D drawings, including floor plans, elevations, and the current site plan. These detailed 2D drawings provided a comprehensive view of the building’s layout and structural components, facilitating clear communication among architects, engineers, and construction teams.
The combination of the 3D model and 2D drawings ensured that all stakeholders had access to accurate and up-to-date information, streamlining the decision-making process and supporting the efficient execution of future maintenance and renovation projects.
