Delivering Tangible Benefits to an Architectural Firm
When an architectural firm approached us for a roof reconstruction project, they were facing tight deadlines and budget constraints. Our 3D laser scanning services provided the perfect solution, delivering significant time and cost savings. By choosing our services, the firm avoided the need to hire a dedicated in-house specialist for the scanning work, which would have added to their expenses. Instead, we provided highly accurate data that allowed them to move forward with the project efficiently. This not only reduced their overhead but also streamlined their workflow, allowing the architects to focus on design rather than data collection.
Case Study: Streamlining a Roof Reconstruction Project
For this specific project, we conducted a comprehensive 3D laser scan of the roofs of two residential buildings. Here’s how we brought value to the architectural firm:
- Eliminating the Need for Additional Staff. The firm avoided the costs and logistical challenges of hiring and training a new employee for the scanning task. Our team handled everything, from setup to data processing, ensuring that the firm had all the necessary information without adding to their payroll.
- Accelerating Project Timelines. With our advanced scanning technology, we captured the entire roof area in a single session. This efficiency significantly reduced the time required for site visits, enabling the firm to progress more quickly through the planning stages and meet their deadlines with ease.
- Cost Savings with Competitive Pricing. Our services were offered at a competitive rate, significantly lower than other providers. The firm benefited from top-quality data without the premium price tag, allowing them to stay within their budget.
The 3D Scanning Process in Action
The project involved several key steps, starting with the precise positioning of our laser scanners to ensure complete coverage of the roof area. This meticulous setup minimized blind spots and ensured that every detail was captured.
After collecting millions of data points, we processed the information to create a detailed 3D model compatible with ArchiCAD, a leading architectural design software. We also provided as-built drawings in DWG and PDF formats, allowing the architectural bureau to seamlessly integrate the data into their existing workflows. Additionally, the firm received 2D drawings and BIM (Building Information Modeling) data, which were essential for accurate and efficient reconstruction planning. Our scan to BIM services ensured that all relevant information was digitally preserved, making it easily accessible for future use.

The Long-Term Value of 3D Scanning
Beyond the immediate savings in time and money, 3D scanning offers long-term value for architectural firms. The data we provide can be reused in future projects, reducing the need for repeated site visits and enabling more efficient planning for subsequent renovations. With the BIM models and as-built documentation, the architectural firm is better equipped to manage ongoing maintenance and any future modifications with precision.
