High-quality laser scanning

3D laser scanning makes it possible to capture data for buildings and industry as precisely as possible. In our architectural practice, we produce an extremely precise digital survey for your construction project. Laser scanning makes it possible to capture the entire environment and depict it three-dimensionally in a digital model. In our practice, we combine individual scans into a single unit to create an overall spatial model.

This enables us to document even complex structures very accurately. Compared with conventional methods, laser scanning is able to produce holistic building surveys. For example, in our architectural practice we can take any distance measurements in the interactive photo panorama, create floor plans and sections in photo quality and also produce deformation-accurate facade elevations. Producing videos, animations and all-round panoramas is no problem for us either.

Our services for you

Our method allows buildings of any size to be surveyed precisely in a very short time. This results not only in orthophotos but also in CAD drawings, in 2D or 3D as preferred. The advantages of this survey are obvious, because we hand over the scan project together with the free Faro Scene Light software. 360-degree photo panoramas are also available, online as well as offline or in colour. Our architectural practice provides visualisations and video animations for your project. Tell us your requirements in a consultation. After the consultation, we determine which evaluations are suitable for your needs. We then prepare a free quotation for you.

3D laser scanning enables even the most complex structures to be captured precisely. The scanned data can be used to create all-round panoramas, animations and even videos of the object. The dimensionally accurate 2D measured images in photo quality are used above all for floor plans and sections. In addition, after the measurement the 3D building structure is analysed quite simply on the computer with special software, so there is no need at all to measure on site a second or third time. Because a laser is used for capture, the quality is unaffected by ambient light.

Planning with 3D scanning – easier than ever

Our services are of particular interest to architects. The measurements are so precise that they can readily be used to generate 2D floor plans. Overlays with your own CAD design are also possible. 3D laser scanning makes much more possible. Distance measurements are carried out in 3D photo mode. You can also switch perspective and section view interactively in an animation and change them from free viewpoints. Orthophotos show the developed facade elevation.

Building with 3D scanning – even the most complex structures are possible

3D laser scanning makes both building in existing structures and new construction easier. This state-of-the-art method ensures that the dimensions on site match the design in the CAD program. Exact dimensions are particularly important for natural stone and tiling work so that it can be executed precisely and with a perfect fit. Likewise, the tedious production of templates has become superfluous with 3D laser scanning. Even difficult curves and tilts can now be easily measured, built and evaluated digitally. With 3D laser scanning, interlocking components can be adapted even better to the existing building structure.

Laser Scanning Architecture offers you a professional scanning service that plays an important role in the construction of buildings. Precise building data can be captured quickly, making the planning and realisation of your products considerably easier. For industry and architecture, 3D laser scanning is a fast and comprehensive alternative.

Precise documentation

Our scanning service gives you major advantages when constructing buildings. Laser scanners can capture the surroundings very accurately and at lightning speed. The data is then visualised in a 3D model. This results not only in precise documentation of complex building structures but also makes it possible to approach subsequent planning realistically and with reference to the actual building. This process also offers a high degree of location independence. Once we have scanned the data for you, you could in theory carry out the planning and further development at the other end of the world. We carry out surveys worldwide, so you can also use our services for international projects.

Laser scanning and its possibilities

If you choose our scanning service, you can rely on comprehensive documentation. We supply 2D CAD data, 3D modelling and, on request, video animations that let you fly through the building and get a precise idea of the surroundings. Our scanning service also helps you avoid gross measurement errors. The laser scanning method is very precise and shows hardly any deviations. Incidentally, our services are also suitable for heritage conservation, evidence preservation or urban planning. If you have any further questions, you can contact us via the contact form on our website.

Capturing building data

Laser scanning is ideally suited to planning, constructing and surveying buildings. Compared with conventional measuring methods, it delivers very precise results. Laser Scanning Architecture offers you flawless 3D scans for various projects. We survey the building for you on site and then supply comprehensive documentation that you can continue working with.

We scan your buildings and use the measured images to derive precise 2D CAD building data. This allows the entire building to be represented to scale. Individual structures and facades are captured. This precise documentation helps avoid planning errors. Of course, we also offer 3D representation. This gives you a spatial impression and lets you give free rein to your creativity for further construction projects. Panoramic views and video animations are also available on request.

Fields of application for laser scanning

Scanning and capturing building data plays an important role, particularly in architecture and industry. Modern laser technology is so precise that faulty surveys no longer occur. Architects can therefore plan without worry and, above all, from anywhere. This saves you not only a lot of time but also money. Building data is also very important for evidence preservation. For example, in the event of an insurance claim, you can document serious damage. Asset values are determined and the building fabric is assessed. Of course, a scan captures not only the building but also its contents. Laser scanning is therefore ideally suited to obtaining an up-to-date representation of the building. If you have any questions or anything is unclear, please feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help! We have already worked with many well-known clients, so you can rely on an experienced and competent team.

Forward-looking planning

When building or converting factory halls, production facilities, warehouses or residential buildings, precise planning is essential. Especially given the special and demanding requirements of structured building complexes with many different rooms, in which specific work steps will later be carried out on, for example, oversized machinery, good measurement technology is called for.

Use of measurement technology

To realise the respective projects, existing building complexes often need to be surveyed precisely. Today’s modern technology enables highly accurate, fast and results-oriented surveying of any kind of architecture. This involves sophisticated laser technology that can capture every corner of the building, however small, and determine its dimensions exactly. And most importantly – it can also reproduce the structures visually. In 3D laser scanning, both the interior spaces and the exterior of a building are reproduced as high-quality 3D graphics. These are then used to create an accurate 3D plan of the building, so that planning can be carried out in a targeted manner.

Perfect measurements, images and archiving

We offer you a professional 3D analysis of your property. This includes 3D laser scanning, which offers nothing but advantages over manual measuring techniques. Because such an accurate image is created, subsequent measurements become unnecessary, the laser bridges long distances with ease, and planning errors are virtually impossible thanks to the high accuracy. We also produce 2D graphics from the scans for plans or floor plans in photo quality, and our software makes it possible to view a 3D panorama of the entire building. All the data is available immediately and is permanently archived with us for future projects.

New techniques for surveying buildings with precise laser scanning

If you need precise building data for industry or architecture, our 3D laser scanning method for scanning buildings is exactly what you need. Comprehensive, fast and cost-effective, the 3D method offers you many advantages: detailed documentation of the entire environment and a wide range of evaluations, in both 2D and 3D, with accurate CAD data of the entire existing building. With a digital laser survey, you will plan much more efficiently in future. With our experience of more than 100 scanned objects, you get the best quality from us. Incidentally, scanning is carried out with the latest technology, using the Focus X130, a current laser scanner from FARO.

Every survey is carried out reliably and quickly

When we scan a building of any size, precise laser scanning gets the job done quickly and comprehensively. The evaluation of the data then ranges from orthophotos to finished CAD drawings in 2D or 3D. As an architectural practice, we are thoroughly familiar with the complexity of refurbishment projects and know exactly how important it is to have a building survey you can rely on. Our aim is to optimise as-built documentation with 3D surveying and thereby make your planning processes easier. You tell us what your task is aiming at, and we draw up a dedicated programme to present your evaluation data as precisely and meaningfully as possible.

All laser measurements are presented in detail

When we scan your building, you receive 360-degree panoramas online or offline and in colour, as well as 2D CAD floor plans, with the elevations and plans produced as Auto-dwg. You also receive a 3D model from Revit Architecture, Autocad or in the form of an IFC model. In addition, you get video animations and visualisations of your project.

Impress your clients with 3D visualisations

Our laser scanners support construction projects in every work stage. During construction, the exact measurement data and the 3D modelling are imported into current BIM and CAD software. Our technology is the ideal complement to the latest generation of building design. What already provides such good support in the design and construction phase can do even more: our technology makes a major contribution to property marketing.

Convincing with 3D visualisations

The laser scanners are able to combine the entire surroundings of a building from individual scans taken at different positions into an overall spatial model. This forms the basis for impressive visualisations with 3D scans. What is already impressive as a conventional CAD visualisation becomes simply compelling with our three-dimensional animations.

Innovative form of presentation

We can create the visualisations from any viewpoint: the different viewing angles create an innovative form of presentation. Choose any perspectives, views and axonometric projections – cut-away parts of the building add dramatic views. Do your 3D visualisations aim to convey a particular message? We emphasise it by hiding or deleting parts of your model.

Animations in every project phase

Whatever pace you would like for an animation of your model, it can be produced in any planning and construction phase. Even if your client changes their requirements later on, three-dimensional visualisations can still be created. Our laser scan data holds enormous creative potential. Combining cut-away parts of the building with unusual views produces spectacular results. These insights are not possible with conventional CAD visualisation technology. Our animations can make a particularly strong impression on your client or prospective buyers and convince them of your skills through the expert staging of your projects.

Our architects offer broad expertise

With us, you can obtain services that bring your projects to life. Our architects offer you broad know-how and a friendly relationship, so that you not only receive 3D concepts and other architectural services but also feel in very good hands.

We offer help for self-help, always on the basis of fair and transparent dealings. 3D scans represent the future of architecture and are therefore our speciality. We have already gained several years of experience with such scans and can point to a number of renowned references. Incidentally, you can also find more information about 3D scans directly in our blog.

3D scan data – high accuracy ensures planning certainty

As overall construction volume has risen steadily, so has interest in planning technologies that convince in terms of both precision and cost-effectiveness. The introduction of 3D laser scanning made this possible. Generating 3D scan data enables accurate as-built documentation of objects of all sizes.

Versatile evaluations with scan data

Whether for the refurbishment of existing building structures, for interior fit-out or for shell construction, 3D scan data offers you many advantages over conventional measuring technology. From a 3D model in Revit Architecture, an IFC model or Autocad, through 2D orthophotos at any required position on your property, to 2D CAD elevations, floor plans and sections as Autocad dwg files, the scan data lends itself to a wide range of evaluations. The data can also be imported into current CAD and BIM software.

A precise planning process that is becoming indispensable

Larger projects in particular involve high investment and demanding requirements, which makes a precise planning process indispensable. With our 3D scan data you gain the planning certainty you need, both legally and with regard to the quality of your work. Thanks to the high accuracy of the data, you avoid planning errors and time-consuming re-measurements.

Precise 3D scan data at a fixed price

In the past, the price of laser scanners made them uneconomical for some fields of application. Thanks to greatly reduced costs, this planning technology is now a cost-effective solution for almost every field. Tell us about your task now and we will determine which 3D scan data best suits your needs. As a customer-oriented scanning service provider, we will be pleased to send you a non-binding fixed-price quotation once we have assessed the scanning effort. Benefit from an innovative technology that gives you planning certainty.

high-resolution, distortion-free and true to scale

Do you need precise 2D measured images or exact data at a specific position on your property? Then you have come to the right place! As a company with experience from thousands of individual scans, we are specialists in high-resolution, distortion-free, true-to-scale 2D images.

Producing precise conversion and as-built plans

Using our 3D scan data, we can create orthophotos of any part of your building. You can also define the depth of view individually. In conjunction with CAD software, the 2D measured images are traced over, enabling you to produce precise conversion and as-built plans. Planning errors caused by old drawings – for example for heritage properties – or by inaccurate manual surveys can easily be avoided with exact 2D measured images. 2D plan production always gives you up-to-date and accurate information on floor plans, façade elevations and other details.

2D measured images – fast and reliable views

Scientific evaluations in particular require accurate orthogonal views. With our 2D measured images, no additional effort is needed for this, which is of great benefit to restorers and archaeologists as well as for compiling finds registers. The orthophotos you require are available immediately after our 3D laser scanning. This avoids long waiting times, as the example of the 18-metre-high steel structure of the Unterfeuer Hohenzollern lighthouse shows very well. The lighthouse was surveyed within 3 hours, after which the 2D CAD drawings of the elevations were produced in Autocad.

Orthophotos that meet specific requirements

We will be happy to produce the orthophotos to your specifications. The measured images also enable your own team to carry out an up-to-date CAD as-built survey. Get in touch with us and we will advise you on your 2D documentation and your specific requirements.

A vivid picture of the surroundings – 360° panoramas!

It is the absolute basis of any planned house build: capturing the exact surroundings, including planning the property itself. The classic approach to house planning is drawing the floor plan, which quickly reaches its limits on paper. Paper as a medium has its limitations, so the client finds it difficult to imagine the future property in the form it will take once construction is complete. We, however, offer an approach that solves this problem in a revolutionary way: 3D surveying! But we can do a great deal more!

Get an all-round view!

3D surveying of a property, however, is only a small part of the services we offer you as a client. 360° panoramas are also part of our portfolio. They make things noticeably easier, particularly when planning in an unfamiliar location, as the client can gain a vivid picture of the local conditions.

How are 360° panoramas created?

To create our 360° panoramas, we use a high-quality 3D scanner that captures the entire surroundings and creates a 3D image from numerous individual scans. The great thing about 360° panoramas is that they also offer a measuring function, so the planned construction project almost comes to life, which makes further planning considerably easier. The client can view the planned property from all sides and take the planned dimensions into account far more conveniently in further planning.

We give you as a client valuable insights into the planned project and, on your behalf, produce 3D surveys, 360° panoramas and complete 3D modelling. On our website you will find further information about this sophisticated process and can contact us very easily. The advantages of our process speak for themselves – simply try it out!

Building with reliable 3D scan surveying

Anyone who has ever built a house knows that surveying is the foundation of every successful building. During construction, 3D scans record the current state of the building. They document the exact position, the visual quality of steel structures or reinforced concrete elements, and their dimensions. Once the interior fit-out and the ceiling and wall linings have been installed, this check is no longer possible. We make sure that you can check and document the temporary condition of your building in good time during construction. Only then do you gain legally sound certainty as to whether your building has the required quality and dimensional accuracy. This applies not only to private homes: the larger a construction project, the more important it is to document defect-free execution.

Laser scanning for interior fit-out

In interior fit-out, too, laser scanning is the ultimate solution and offers many advantages over previous surveying methods. During construction, the dimensions shown in the plans often do not match the actual ones; with our 3D scans you receive a precise on-site survey and thus reliable planning certainty. 3D scans make expensive template-making for tiling and natural stone work unnecessary. Our exact survey is what allows you to carry out detailed planning and achieve perfect joint layouts without offcut waste. Stair builders, joiners and kitchen fitters also manufacture their products to the dimensions supplied. With our 3D scans, even difficult curves, tilts or free forms are no problem. Our data can be evaluated perfectly and digitally by the trades involved in the construction.

Accurate data for energy-efficient refurbishment

Almost seventy per cent of all construction work now concerns energy-efficient refurbishment, and here too the shell construction of steel and concrete elements is of great importance. The substructure must be determined precisely for this. Our 3D scans give you all the information you need, and with the data obtained you can plan your renovation precisely.

Precision that saves time and money

Precise 2D CAD data based on measured images forms the basis for cost-effective, error-free planning processes. With 3D laser scanning as an exact and innovative surveying technology, and the 3D scan data of the surveyed building obtained from it, we can create individual section views. The range of possible evaluations extends from floor plans to detailed elevations.

Reliable data thanks to millimetre-accurate documentation

Whether for interior conversions, weekly checks of shell construction or evidence preservation on site, 3D scans enable millimetre-accurate documentation. Accurate 2D CAD data saves time and money. Modern laser scanners such as the new Focus X130 deliver reliable data both in the brightest sunshine and at greater measuring distances of up to 130 metres. Your property – including interiors, façades, etc. – is thus captured true to dimension and free of distortion. An inaccurate survey is therefore ruled out.

Freely selectable 2D CAD data

Unlike conventional measuring instruments, our 3D laser scanner captures around one million measuring points per second. Creating your three-dimensional image therefore takes only a few minutes. The measurement data is then fed into the computer, allowing us to produce detailed drawings, elevations, floor plans and other 2D measured images with the corresponding 2D CAD data. You are free to choose both the section position and the depth of view.

High planning certainty with 2D detail drawings

A 2D detail drawing gives you a high level of planning certainty. In addition, 2D CAD drawings involve no waiting time. With our dimensionally accurate 2D measured images in photo quality and precise 2D CAD data, you can quickly identify discrepancies with your old plans, and repeated re-measurements are no longer necessary. Have we aroused your interest? Then contact us now and we will start the up-to-date, detailed survey of your project. If you have any questions about the costs involved or our measuring technology, please feel free to contact us in advance.

Made-to-measure plant engineering with 3D scans

By using 3D scans, you build comprehensively, quickly and cost-effectively. With a digital survey using 3D laser scanning, we provide detailed and comprehensive documentation of buildings and their technical installations. We offer professional and innovative made-to-measure as-built documentation. Our scans combine numerous advantages: as part of your plant planning, we can also determine nested and complex load-bearing components and installations, for optimum plant planning adapted to the existing geometry.

Reliable 3D data

With our wide range of 2D and 3D evaluations, we document and plan holistically. Thanks to our scanning service, the engineering firms involved in the construction do not have to re-measure on site but can rely on our 3D data. This saves time and resources, as the data can also be transferred and evaluated away from the construction site. Planners can carry out the necessary calculations independently of the site, because the scans document the built status quo at any time.

Independent and reliable

With our sophisticated 3D measuring technology, we are able to determine even complex technical installations and pipework precisely.

Using laser scanners, you then have the option of using complex 3D CAD models as the basis for precise planning of conversions to your plants. We supply precise building data for industry and architecture, so that you benefit from our comprehensive measuring technology.

Efficient and digital

Our digital laser survey makes planning more efficient and sustainable. Benefit from our extensive experience, proven in more than 100 scan projects. With us you will find a comprehensive scanning service and extensive support that will assist you competently in all areas. We deliver effective solutions that pursue sustainable goals.

The future belongs to 3D laser scanning

The basis of sound architectural planning is accuracy and a precise survey. Detailed measurement data is therefore crucial, especially in the surveying and planning phase of complex buildings and conversions. Our 3D laser scanning process makes it possible to carry out a wide range of reliable evaluations, thereby increasing your planning certainty.

Planning certainty through 3D laser scanning technology

Most architectural practices still work with 2D techniques today. However, 2D representation no longer meets today’s requirements and quickly reaches its limits. Even the slightest deviations can jeopardise planning certainty. The result is considerable financial burdens and functional shortcomings in the design. 3D scans enable us, for example, to generate distortion-free 2D representations of floor plans, sections and elevations of buildings, outdoor areas and interiors and to integrate them true to scale into CAD programs. 3D scans thus allow the planning status to be compared reliably and conveniently with the building in question. In this way, we can identify any planning errors before the actual construction phase and correct them in good time.

Advantages of 3D laser scanning

Compared with other measuring techniques, 3D scans offer the advantage of a holistic building survey and the ability to carry out multifunctional data analyses. With laser scanning technology, we can easily generate axonometric or perspective views from any vantage point. Using different camera paths, we offer video animations of the 3D scan from various angles. We also have numerous innovative visualisation options at our disposal. Today, building in existing structures is increasingly becoming one of the main tasks of an architectural practice. With 3D laser scanning, you can increase your planning certainty and minimise the liability risk arising from incorrect or missing measurement data.

Certainty through 3D modelling

Since 2010, the architectural practice “Laser-Scanning-Architecture” has demonstrated its expertise in laser scanning. Thanks to many years of experience in CAD documentation, we are able to carry out 3D modelling based on laser scan data.

There are no limits to 3D modelling

We offer each of our clients a 3D modelling solution designed to meet their individual requirements. Among other things, we produce simple clash models from point clouds in Microstation or AutoCAD. In the building services (MEP) sector we create intelligent models in Revit MEP, and in the architectural field in Revit Architecture. For factory planning, we create a complete 3D model for you. After checking the relevant data and its feasibility, we support you in the creative design, implementation and creation of a 3D factory. The possibilities for modelling virtual data are almost unlimited. Of course, on request we will develop a 3D model based on the data structures you provide. In addition to 3D modelling of a complete model, it is also possible to create and display planning-relevant sub-areas of a property.

Areas of application

Producing 3D models makes sense in many areas. A model makes planning a building or plant considerably easier. In addition, laser scanning and the subsequent model allow us to identify planning errors at an early stage and immediately develop appropriate solutions for our clients. When converting an existing property, a 3D model is likewise advantageous because it allows a target/actual comparison. 3D modelling is also invaluable in marketing.

Benefit from our experience and expertise. Use our 3D models to optimise your planning. Our qualified staff are ready with state-of-the-art technology to support you in the field of CAD documentation.

Laser scanning – the technical achievement of modern architecture

Laser-Scanning-Architecture combines classic architectural services with new technical possibilities. We support your individual construction and refurbishment projects with a wide range of scanning services, making them more tangible for you.

Precise data capture with laser scanning technology

Our laser scanners capture the existing architecture and process the data obtained into a three-dimensional digital model. To do this, individual scans from different positions are combined into a vivid overall model. This means that complex building structures are captured precisely, so that the complexity of the refurbishment work to be carried out is represented in the best possible way. We therefore guarantee a reliable building survey. Our technology can already be helpful during the planning phase: we optimise your planning processes by comparing current and previous as-built data, which allows errors to be avoided even before the building survey.

Your advantages – fixed prices keep costs under control

In addition to technology and equipment, we offer qualified staff who translate your individual construction project into appropriate forms of visualisation. You receive the scan project with the free software Faro Scene Light and can produce not only 2D orthophotos (at any position in the building) but also 360° photo panoramas, offline or online, in black and white or colour. The complete package of our services is rounded off by 2D CAD floor plans, elevations and sections as Autocad dwg files and a 3D model in Autocad or Revit Architecture. Alternatively, we can provide an IFC model of your building. Only when you are satisfied are we satisfied too. If we have aroused your interest, please get in touch with us. Based on your requirements, we will prepare an individual, non-binding and free fixed-price quotation, so that at no point do you need to fear additional costs.
