3D Laser Scanning
Quick, safe and highly accurate measurement capture using FARO Focus scanner technology. Millions of points collected to create detailed point clouds for any building or structure.
What is 3D Laser Scanning?
3D laser scanning is a technology that uses laser beams to capture precise three-dimensional information about physical objects or spaces. In building surveying, it allows surveyors to collect highly accurate measurements of buildings' interiors and exteriors quickly and efficiently.
A laser scanner emits millions of laser pulses per second, measuring the time it takes for each pulse to return to calculate distance. This generates a point cloud - a dense collection of points representing the surfaces of the building.

We set up the laser scanner on a tripod and conduct multiple scans from different positions to capture the entire building. Reference markers are used to align scans accurately during the registration process.
Our FARO Focus scanner captures millions of points per second with millimeter accuracy, ensuring complete coverage of all architectural details and structural elements.

Data Registration & Processing
Individual scans are combined into a single unified 3D point cloud. Noise and irrelevant points are removed, and the data can be converted into mesh models or BIM models as required.
From this processed data, we extract accurate dimensions for walls, windows, doors, and structural elements. We create 2D plans, elevations, and sections directly from the 3D data.

See what our clients say about working with us
"We've worked with Scott for many years and know that we can always depend on him to deliver detailed, accurate, high-quality results. This is important to our business and also very beneficial to our clients, as high-standard precision is essential for the basis of architectural proposals – particularly for complex requirements such as planning applications within conservation areas. Scott is also a good communicator and a pleasure to work with."
"We have used Collins Architectural Surveys for at least six years, they are our go-to firm for measured surveys. They work hard to understand our requirements, often going above and beyond to deliver excellent surveys within tight deadlines."
"We regularly require measured surveys at the outset of our projects. For over five years our preferred surveying company has been Collins Architectural Surveys. We have found them to be professional and responsive, and they have coped with a wide variety of project and building types without issue."
"Precision, detail and accuracy is everything my company stands for, and none of this would have been possible without Scott's involvement."
"Collins Architectural Surveys are fast and efficient. They always provide a high level of service and quality in each and every project."
