Architecture

Accurate plans of the existing building, without measuring by hand

We scan the space and deliver floor plans, sections and elevations in DWG ready for CAD. One capture session replaces weeks of manual measurement.

What slows your project before it starts

Measuring an existing building by hand takes days or weeks and there are always inaccessible areas.

Inherited plans don't match the built reality, and surprises appear during construction.

Coordinating multiple measurement visits delays the project start and increases costs.

Without reliable documentation of the current state, design decisions are based on approximations.

How we solve it

We visit the building, scan everything with Trimble X7 in a few hours, and deliver documentation ready to work with.

Complete 360° capture of the entire building in a single visit, without scaffolding or interruptions.

Millimetre precision (2 mm) that eliminates discrepancies between plans and reality.

Delivery in DWG: floor plans, sections and elevations ready to open in AutoCAD or Revit.

BIM model (IFC) available if the project requires it.

Complete point cloud to check any detail without returning to the building.

BIM model (IFC) if required

Processing report with quality control

Real case

Rehabilitation of a stone village house (La Mallol, Girona). Complete scan in one day, delivery of DWG plans and 3D mesh with photographic texture.

Frequently asked questions about 3D scanning for architecture

For a residential building of 3-4 floors, we scan in 4-8 hours. Processed DWG plans are delivered within 48-72 business hours after the visit. Singular or large-surface buildings may require 2 sessions.
We deliver floor plans, sections and elevations in DWG (AutoCAD 2018+), directly editable. Also in PDF and, if the project requires it, in IFC format for Revit or ArchiCAD. The point cloud is delivered in E57, RCP or RCS.
No. The Trimble X7 scanner works with the space in normal use. For homes we ask residents to be out during capture (a few hours), but in offices or shops we can work with normal activity.
The Trimble X7 scanner precision is ±2 mm. DWG plans derived from the point cloud maintain that geometric fidelity, eliminating the 2-5 cm errors typical of manual measurement.
Yes. In addition to DWG plans, we can deliver a BIM model in IFC format if the project requires it. Contact us and we will prepare a joint quote.
