How Much Does 3D Laser Scanning Cost?
3D laser scanning typically costs between £500 and £3,000 per project, depending on the size and complexity of the site. Additional factors, such as the level of detail required, precision of measurements, and the nature of the environment, can also influence the cost.
For instance, projects involving confined spaces or hazardous areas often require specialised equipment and expertise, potentially impacting the pricing. Our Faro and Leica laser scanners are capable of capturing intricate details with high accuracy, supporting diverse project demands from construction to heritage conservation.
Whether you need a single room scanned or an entire building, we tailor our services to fit various budget requirements. We adhere to industry standards such as PAS 1192 for BIM compliance, ensuring our work meets stringent quality benchmarks.

What Are the Benefits of 3D Laser Scanning?
3D laser scanning offers numerous advantages, employing technologies like LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to capture exact measurements with impressive detail.
Accuracy: Achieves precise measurements with millimetre accuracy, meeting industry standards such as BS 1192 for data management.
Efficiency: Rapid data collection significantly reduces time on site, allowing for quicker project turnaround and less disruption to ongoing activities.
Versatility: Suitable for diverse environments and complex structures, such as industrial facilities, heritage buildings, and large infrastructure projects.
Documentation: Provides comprehensive digital records for maintenance and future reference, ensuring that enhanced building information modelling (BIM) integration is possible for renovations or restorations.
These benefits contribute to more informed decision-making and efficient project management. Call us today to experience the advantages of our services.
How Does 3D Laser Scanning Work?
Our 3D laser scanning process involves four key steps:
Planning: We begin by defining the project requirements and scope, taking into account the site conditions and specific client needs. We may conduct a preliminary site visit to understand any constraints or challenges.
Scanning: Using laser technology, we deploy equipment such as the Leica BLK360 or FARO Focus3D scanners to capture detailed surface data. These devices measure millions of data points per second, resulting in precise point clouds of the surveyed area.
Processing: The collected data is converted into usable formats like 3D models using software such as AutoCAD or Revit. This step involves cleaning and aligning point clouds to ensure accurate representation of the site features.
Delivery: We provide the final results in digital formats suitable for further analysis and planning, which might include BIM integration, construction simulations, or detailed topographic maps.
This structured approach ensures optimal accuracy and efficiency, making it ideal for your next project. Our process reduces the need for manual measurements and revisits, saving time and resources.
How Long Does 3D Laser Scanning Take?
The duration of a 3D laser scanning project depends on the size and complexity of the site. Projects involving small residential properties are typically completed within one to three days, whereas larger commercial sites or intricate historical buildings may require additional scanning time.
After capturing the data, we use Trimble or Leica scanning equipment, which provides detailed precision up to millimetre accuracy, to ensure accurate modelling. Additional time is needed for processing the collected data using industry-standard software like Autodesk Recap or Bentley Pointools.
Our efficient methods ensure timely delivery without compromising on detail, and we adhere to relevant standards, such as ISO 17100, to maintain the integrity and quality of our work.
We are committed to meeting your deadlines while providing comprehensive data solutions, ensuring our results support architects, engineers, and project managers effectively.
