Our Construction Services
We specialise in tailored 3D scanning solutions for every phase of construction, supporting stakeholders across the built environment.
Pre-Construction / Dilapidation 3D Models
Prepare your project with high-accuracy digital records of existing site conditions before construction begins. Using Matterport Pro3 LiDAR scanning, we create a true-to-scale 3D digital twin that captures surfaces, finishes, access points, and visible conditions — supporting planning, coordination, and risk mitigation across all stakeholders.
Benefits:
Document existing site conditions in high resolution
Support public safety, access, and site logistics planning
Measure clearances and site access with visual accuracy
Reduce disputes and unnecessary rework through reliable condition records
Existing Conditions 3D Models
Create an accurate record of a site’s current state before beginning or completing work. Existing Conditions 3D Models capture and document the existing condition of a site or building at a specific point in time, providing a clear visual record of completed works, outstanding items, and any existing conditions.
These models are particularly valuable when a project is handed over to a new builder, allowing incoming teams to clearly understand site conditions, reduce assumptions, and minimise disputes. They are widely used for risk management, insurance and dilapidation reference, and informed project decision-making throughout the construction lifecycle.
Benefits:
High-resolution documentation of current conditions
Accurate digital twin for works status
Efficiently share records with stakeholders and insurers
Reduce disputes during handover, recommencement, or rework
Pre-Slab 3D Models
Capture a detailed digital record of all in-slab components before concrete is poured. Pre-Slab 3D Models are crucial for documenting the exact placement of embedded services, reinforcement, and utilities — giving your team a reliable reference that reduces risk and avoids costly remedial work once the slab is cast. These models are suitable for all slab types, including ground slabs, conventional slabs, post-tensioned systems, and complex structural designs.
Benefits:
Accurately document in-slab elements prior to concrete placement
Prevent costly x-ray scanning and destructive investigation
Confidently cut and core concrete knowing key elements are identified
Enhance QA procedures with visual pre-pour records
Facilitate RFIs and live as-built review with clear documentation
Pre-Plaster 3D Models
Pre-Plaster 3D Models are captured after rough-in work is complete but before plaster lining or wall coverings are installed, providing a comprehensive digital record of framing, in-wall services, and structural elements. This accurate, true-to-scale model acts as a permanent reference that helps you understand what’s behind the walls before it’s hidden from view.
These models are invaluable for quality assurance, coordination, and risk management — letting builders, contractors, and project teams verify installations, identify discrepancies, and confirm compliance with design intent. By documenting all visible services and components before they are enclosed, you reduce the risk of costly rework, improve collaboration, and streamline decision-making throughout the build.
Benefits:
Validate in-wall and ceiling installations before they are covered
Strengthen QA procedures with visual pre-plaster records
Reduce costly rework by identifying issues before walls are closed up
Facilitate RFIs and compliance reviews with accurate as-built data
Defects / Final 3D Models
Defects / Final 3D Models provide a detailed digital record of outstanding work items and site conditions at key project milestones. Using high-accuracy LiDAR scanning, these models help you track and manage defects, document progress, and verify completion before handover.
They are especially valuable for tenant or client handover condition reporting, enabling clear visual reference of final finishes and outstanding items. This reliable digital documentation also supports maintenance planning, future construction amendments, insurance reviews, and protects against costly rework or disputes.
Benefits:
Track and manage defects with precision
Provide visual condition records to minimise costly reworks
Use as a handover condition report for tenants or owners
Support future project changes with a dependable reference
