with precision at every angle.​

Overview of 3D Building Scanning

With Earthrise’s advanced 3D building scanning, we transform existing structures into accurate, detailed, as-built drawings. This cutting-edge technology captures the exact dimensions that reflect the true conditions of a structure and can be useful for various projects. In the retrofit process, this helps avoid unexpected challenges during renovations by basing estimations on accurate data.​

What is 3D Building Scanning?

3D building scanning uses laser technology to create precise digital representations of physical spaces.

By capturing millions of data points, the system generates a detailed 3D model that accurately reflects the building’s current state, from walls to windows. This technology gives you a leg-up on renovation, and retrofit projects, providing a reliable foundation for informed decision-making.​

Applications of 3D Building Scanning

3D building scanning has wide-ranging use cases, including:​

Renovation and Retrofit Projects

Access precise layout and dimension data before initiating changes, ensuring a smoother renovation process.

Historical Preservation

Capture intricate details of heritage buildings, preserving their structure and features for future generations.

Facility Management

Maintain a comprehensive, up-to-date record of a building’s current state for maintenance and future planning.

Construction Planning

Improve accuracy in project estimates and designs by using as-built drawings derived from 3D scans.

The Scanning Process​

At Earthrise, we approach each 3D scanning project with precision and a commitment to accuracy.

01​

Initial Consultation

We begin by discussing your project’s specific needs and outlining the goals of the 3D scan. This includes assessing any unique challenges, such as difficult-to-reach areas or complex architectural features.

02

Site Assessment and Preparation

Our team conducts a thorough site assessment to familiarize ourselves with the building’s layout and conditions.

03​

Data Capture

Using high-precision 3D scanners, we capture millions of data points from the site. The scanners create a detailed point cloud, representing the building’s geometry with high accuracy.

04​

Data Processing

After scanning, we process the data into a cohesive 3D model and review the model for completeness and accuracy.

05​

Conversion to As-Built Drawings

Once the 3D model is finalized, we convert the digital data into as-built drawings. Then, our team delivers the completed drawings and 3D models in the format that best suits your needs.

Lorem

We employ industry-leading 3D laser scanning equipment and software to deliver reliable, high-quality results. Our process leverages advanced tools to scan, capture, and convert your building’s dimensions into an accurate digital model. This technology allows for rapid data collection, making it time-efficient, and ensures precision, making it easier to navigate even the most complex structures in 2d as-built drawings or 3D models.​
