Laser Scanning London survey

Laser Scanning London

PointBIM provides laser scanning across London and issues a fully registered point cloud files (E57/RCP). Clients can use this as a standalone service and handle their own post-processing in Revit, AutoCAD, Archicad or similar.

Benefits of
3D Laser Scanning

Laser scanning is increasingly used on refurbishments, heritage projects, and tight urban sites in London. Benefits include:

  • Accuracy – millimetre-level capture across large areas.
  • Efficiency – rapid on-site survey compared to traditional methods.
  • Safety – minimal access requirements, reducing time spent on scaffolding or in hazardous areas.
  • Versatility – point clouds can be processed into Revit, AutoCAD, or other formats as required.

For architects, engineers, and contractors, this means better coordination, fewer site visits, and a dependable record of existing conditions.

Where Laser Scanning Adds Value

We regularly provide laser scanning in London for:

  • Refurbishment & Fit-Out – existing floor plans, ceiling heights, and service routes.
  • Heritage Buildings – sensitive sites requiring detailed recording.
  • Commercial Developments – office refurbishments and estate management.
  • Residential Projects – accurate measured surveys for design and planning.

Deliverables

  • Registered point cloud (primary output) — unified, colourised scans aligned to OS grid/ODN or project control.
    Formats: E57 (master), RCP/RCS for Autodesk, PTX/LAS on request.
  • Registration & QA pack — control report, registration residuals, screenshots, and survey notes.
  • Panoramic imagery (optional) — colour pano set or web-hosted viewer for context.
  • Survey control (where established) — control coordinates/benchmarks supplied.

Many clients take the registered point cloud as a standalone deliverable and complete their own post-processing in Revit, AutoCAD, Archicad, etc. If required, we can also produce 2D CAD drawings or a Revit model (LOD 200–300) as separate add-ons.
