As-Built survey: from the real building to plans in days

We document the current state of any space with Trimble X7 3D laser scanner. We deliver DWG plans ready for you to work with directly.

01

Why you need a reliable As-Built

  1. The building has no plans, or the existing ones don't reflect reality after successive renovations.

  2. Measuring complex spaces by hand (heights, vaults, installations) takes too long and generates errors.

  3. Without an accurate As-Built, construction budgets have error margins that are paid for later.

  4. The administration requires updated documentation for licences, building inspections or changes of use.

02

Complete survey in one visit

We capture the exact geometry of the space with 2 mm precision. No tape measure, no repeat visits.

  • Complete 3D laser scan of the space in a few hours, without disrupting activity.

  • Processing and verification of the point cloud with documented quality control.

  • Delivery of floor plans, sections and elevations in DWG, ready for CAD.

  • Consultable point cloud to verify any measurement or detail afterwards.

  • Compatible with AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD and any project software.

03

Frequently asked questions about As-Built surveys

What exactly is an As-Built survey?

An As-Built documents the real, current state of a building or premises as built, not as designed. It is the essential documentary basis for renovations, changes of use, licences or property sales.

Do I need to empty the premises before scanning?

Not necessarily. The 3D laser scanner captures the space in a few hours, without disrupting activity. No scaffolding or interruptions required.

How long does it take to get the plans?

Capture is done in a few hours in a single visit. Processed DWG plans are delivered ready to work with directly. Send us the address and we will provide a timeline and indicative cost with no obligation.

Are the DWG plans ready to use or do they need additional work?

The DWG plans we deliver are editable and ready to open in AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD and any project software. The point cloud remains consultable to verify any measurement or detail afterwards.

What is the difference between a scanner As-Built and a traditional one?

Laser scanning captures millions of points in a few hours with 2 mm precision, eliminating manual measurement errors. Traditional methods take days, have 2-5 cm errors, and require multiple visits to verify doubtful measurements.
