Our 3D Laser Scanning for buildings Process
Our 3D laser scanning process starts with a detailed consultation to understand your project’s specific requirements.
A highly trained Ruxton Group Surveyor will then attend your site and collect the required data using an entirely non-intrusive and non-contact methodology. As 3D scanning technology experts, we ensure accurate, efficient, and detailed data capture for every project.
The captured data is then carefully post-processed by our experts to ensure maximum accuracy and reliability. As part of our high-accuracy 3D scanning services, this step is crucial in delivering detailed and dependable survey results tailored to your project needs.
As part of our 3D laser scanning service, we offer the following deliverables:
- Point Cloud Data (E57, LAS, LAZ, RCP, RCS, PTS, PTX, PLY, XYZ)
- CAD Drawings (AutoCAD, Vectorworks)
- 3D and BIM Models (Revit, CAD, SketchUp)
- 360° Virtual Tours and Photography (Matterport, NavVis, Trimble)
- True-to-scale orthophotos
- Floor Flatness and Wall Verticality
- As-built verification
Our tailored approach ensures that you receive the exact level of detail required for your project.

When is a 3D Laser Scan Needed?
A 3D laser scan is required in various scenarios where precise, detailed, and reliable data about physical spaces or structures is essential. Some common applications include:
- Renovation and Restoration Projects
- Construction Planning & Management
- Design and Engineering
- Historic Preservation
- Facility and Asset Management
- Industrial and Manufacturing Projects
- Large-Scale or Complex Structures
- Legal and Compliance Requirements
Highly Accurate Deliverables
Our laser scanning specialists deliver precise and reliable outputs, including highly detailed 3D point cloud data, as-built 2D drawings, and 3D BIM models.
Non-Contact Technology
Laser scanning is non-invasive and doesn’t require physical contact with the object or environment being scanned, making it ideal for fragile, hazardous, or hard-to-reach locations. This also extends to large-scale structures that are difficult to access.
Clash Detection
When integrated with building information modelling (BIM), laser scanning helps identify clashes between design plans and existing structures, reducing costly construction errors.
Rapid Data Capture
Laser scanners can quickly collect a large amount of data, reducing the risk associated with scanning high buildings and improving field staff safety.
