PRECISION

Our Building analysis services start with detailed on-site data capture, documenting every dimension and feature of your building or equipment. This precise foundation enables highly accurate as-built digital plans, models and reports that reflect real-world conditions, reducing errors during design, renovation, or construction.

GUARANTEE



Our building analysis services are grounded in accurate 3D data and structured evaluation. By combining high-resolution 3D scanning with digital modeling and targeted analysis, we provide a reliable understanding of existing conditions to support technical assessments, renovations, and informed decision-making.

1

  • Clear analysis objectives

    We begin by identifying the purpose of the building analysis, such as structural review, renovation planning, envelope assessment or spatial evaluation. At this stage, we define accuracy requirements, areas of focus, and the type of analysis required, ensuring the data collected is appropriate for engineering and design use.

2

  • Accurate capture of conditions

    We use high-accuracy 3D scanning technologies to document the building’s geometry, structure and critical components. Scans are performed from multiple positions to ensure full coverage and sufficient overlap, capturing complex geometries and hard-to-access areas with minimal disruption to operations.

3

  • Clean and structured data

    All scan data is registered and aligned into a unified point cloud. Noise, reflections and non-relevant elements are removed to produce a clean, accurate dataset. The point cloud serves as a precise digital record of existing conditions and the foundation for all subsequent analysis.

4

  • Digital models built for analysis

    Based on project needs, the point cloud is converted into 3D models or analytical datasets. Architectural, structural and key building elements are identified and modeled as required, allowing measurements, spatial relationships and geometric conditions to be evaluated accurately.

5

  • Thorough technical analysis

    Using the digital models and point cloud data, we analyze dimensions, alignments, deviations and spatial constraints. This step supports evaluations such as structural verification, clearance checks, envelope assessment and coordination between existing building systems.

6

  • Validated results and support

    All analytical results are verified against the original scan data to ensure consistency and accuracy. Final deliverables, including digital models, drawings, and analysis datasets, are provided in formats compatible with engineering and design workflows. Our team remains available to support interpretation and downstream project phases.

Proven results across 400+ projects

We work with clients across various sectors, including construction, architecture, and manufacturing. Our goal is to provide building analysis services perfectly tailored to your needs.

  • Which sectors do you provide building analysis services for?

    We offer building analysis services for the construction, architecture, industrial, and manufacturing sectors. Our solutions are tailored to each client’s needs, whether it involves building renovations, factory layouts, commercial spaces, or complex industrial facilities. We deliver accurate and actionable digital models for every project.

  • What types of building analysis services do you offer?

    We provide building analysis services tailored to each project. These include detailed façade drawings, BOMA measurements, flatness and verticality studies, structural deformation analysis, and heritage conservation. Each service delivers reliable and accurate data, giving teams valuable insights into the current condition of their building while facilitating planning and anticipating potential issues.

  • What is your 3D scanning process?

    Our 3D data capture process typically involves several key steps. First, we select the most suitable tool for the project. The site is then scanned from multiple angles to cover its entire surface and generate a point cloud. These raw data are processed using specialized software for alignment, cleaning, and merging, resulting in 3D models, detailed plans, or building analyses.


    The final outputs can include 3D models, BIM (Building Information Modeling) models with detailed component data, architectural or technical plans, and building analyses such as BOMA measurements, flatness and verticality studies, or structural deformation assessments. All outputs are based on our precise surveys, providing a reliable foundation for planning, maintenance, and renovations.


    Our laser scanners provide real-time visual feedback during capture, allowing us to verify that every area has been fully documented. In simple terms, we capture the environment in 3D the same way a camera captures photographs and then process the data to rebuild an accurate digital version of the existing conditions.

    The 3D scanning process

  • How accurate are your analyses?

    We use millimeter-level LiDAR scanners to capture precise measurements, ensuring our 3D models are highly accurate. While absolute millimetric precision cannot be guaranteed, our models consistently deliver a very high level of accuracy, making them ideal for design, planning, and construction applications.

  • What information can your analyses provide?

    Our analyses offer a precise view of the current condition of a building, including the flatness and verticality of structures as well as any present deformations. We also perform BOMA measurements according to official standards to provide reliable floor areas for real estate transactions or space management. Additionally, our surveys can detail façades and structural elements, facilitating the planning of repairs or renovations. This information helps teams better understand the building’s condition, plan effectively, and detect or anticipate potential issues.

  • What is BOMA analysis?

    BOMA analysis refers to measuring building areas according to the standards of the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA). It provides an accurate determination of a building’s rentable or usable area, following internationally recognized standards. This method is commonly used for real estate transactions, space management, or allocating costs among tenants, ensuring reliable and comparable measurements.
