The service

Millions of measured points in a single site visit

A 3D laser scanner measures millions of points across every surface it can see, producing a point cloud: a precise digital replica of the building. Instead of days of manual measuring, hard-to-reach areas, and return visits for missed dimensions, one scan visit captures everything, including ceilings, structure, and services.

iPANO scanning crews work in occupied buildings, active construction sites, and running industrial facilities without shutting anything down. The registered point cloud becomes the single source of truth for your whole team: drawings and BIM models are drafted from it, and any dimension can be pulled from it later without going back to site.

The accuracy difference is not marginal. Hand measurement drifts wall by wall, and small errors compound across a floor plate. A registered scan holds consistent accuracy across the whole building, which is why structural engineers and fabricators trust scan-derived drawings for work where a bad dimension means rework in steel or millwork.

What the scan delivers

Registered point cloud

Cleaned and registered scan data in standard point cloud formats, ready for your own modelling workflows.

Interior and exterior capture

Complete coverage in one visit, from mechanical rooms and ceilings to full facades.

Colorized scan data

Photographic color mapped onto the point cloud for visual context during design.

Drawings and models on request

Add 2D as-built drawings or a Revit model drafted from the same scan, no second visit needed.

Where we scan most often

Construction and renovation

Existing-conditions capture before design, verification scans at milestones, and final documentation at closeout. Scans settle disputes about what was built because the record is measurable.

Industrial and process

Piping, structure, and equipment in operating facilities, captured without shutdown. The point cloud becomes the base for retrofit engineering and clash checking.

Occupied and sensitive buildings

Hospitals, schools, and public buildings need quiet, non-intrusive capture during working hours. Mobile scanning covers long corridors and large floor plates fast, with tripod scanning reserved for the areas that need maximum accuracy.

The equipment we bring

We match the tool to the building: survey-grade terrestrial LiDAR on tripods where maximum accuracy is required, and handheld mobile mapping scanners where coverage speed matters. Scans are registered and quality-checked before delivery, with colorized output available for visual context.

Common questions

What is 3D laser scanning?
A laser scanner sweeps the space and measures millions of points on every visible surface, producing a point cloud: an accurate digital replica of the building that drawings and models are produced from.
How accurate is the scan?
We capture with survey-grade equipment matched to the accuracy your project requires, and registration quality is checked before any data leaves our team.
Will scanning disrupt our building?
No. Scanning is non-contact and quiet. We work around occupants and operations, and most buildings are captured in a single visit without any shutdown.
What do I actually receive?
A cleaned, registered point cloud in standard formats, plus optional 2D drawings, Revit models, or a Matterport tour produced from the same visit.
How long does scanning take?
Most buildings are captured in one day. Deliverables follow on a timeline that depends on scale and scope, committed in your quote.
