High definition laser scanning allows for rapid and accurate data capture, making it ideal for time-pressured projects where a fast turnaround is key. We use the latest in laser scanning technology to capture the data and our expert technicians use AutoCAD and Revit to create high-quality, accurate 2D plans and 3D models depending on the requirements of your project.
Penshurst Church, Kent – Full internal and external survey of the 900-year-old building, producing 2D floor plans, sections and elevations.
St Mary’s Church, Guildford – Survey of the 11th century church for preservation and restoration, producing floor plans and full internal and external sectional elevations.
South London Theatre, Norwood – Former 19th century Victorian fire station surveyed for preservation, conversion and restoration purposes.
Bromley & Sheppard Colleges – Grade I and Grade II listed buildings formed of two quadrangles built in the 17th and 18th centuries. Detailed external elevations were produced and basement floor plans.
Trocadero, Paris – High specification 1:50 scale internal elevations of hotel apartments and reception areas.
Poplar Baths – Grade II listed building and former swimming pool surveyed for restoration and conversion into a new leisure centre. Scanned and modelled in AutoCAD 3D.
A13 Lea River Bridge, London – Survey of the river bed profile and bridge structure for design of a new pedestrian walkway.
Woolwich and Greenwich Foot Tunnels – Survey of the shaft and tunnels for refurbishment and circulation improvements.
Sheffield Fargate – Due to the location of the building being on a busy central high street and the surrounding properties restricting access, it was necessary to deploy drone technology to ensure a fully comprehensive capture of all external areas of the property. From the data we were able to create a LOD3.5 Revit model and 2D plans were also submitted to our client.
Leen Gate Clinic – Accurate modelling of the roof of the building was a key requirement for our client, enabling the architects to develop a viable design proposal that could be structurally supported by the existing framework. As there was no safe access to the roof, drone technology proved essential in capturing all necessary data. Drone imagery was used to produce a detailed LOD3 Revit model and combined with terrestrial laser scanner data to provide a georeferenced point cloud.
Tewin Water House Apartments – As part of the roof refurbishment works, a detailed roof survey was required to document existing services, along with fully detailed elevations and sections. Due to safety concerns and the inaccessibility of rooftop areas, drone technology was essential for capturing the necessary data. The use of drones also allowed for the remote surveying of penthouse balconies without disturbing the occupants. All deliverables included 2D drawings and drone imagery.
Our team delivered an annual movement monitoring project focussing on a large section of the seawall running from Skegness Pier to the Castle ruins. The data would determine the condition of the seawall and identify any movement occurring over time.
Premier Surveys delivered a measured building survey project at the recently renovated 18th century Grade I listed building in London. Our client requested 2D drawing outputs, which our technicians produced using AutoCAD.
The Premier Surveys team have delivered multiple projects at Grade II listed building The Priory. We recently returned to carry out a measured building survey to inform future adaptations to the building.
For this project we delivered a 3D topographical survey of a 3km stretch of road in Knightsbridge, central London. Due to high footfall during the daytime, much of the data was captured at night when the streets were quieter.
High definition laser scanning captures millions of precise measurements in minutes, recording every surface of a building, structure or site as a detailed 3D point cloud. Because the scanner records everything within its line of sight, nothing is missed on site and dimensions can be checked or extracted later without a return visit. This makes laser scanning ideal for complex interiors, ornate façades, plant rooms, bridges, tunnels and any project where time on site is limited or access is restricted.
The point cloud forms the basis for a wide range of deliverables. Our technicians use AutoCAD and Revit to produce floor plans, elevations and sections, alongside 3D models developed to the level of detail your project requires, from simple massing models to detailed LOD3 BIM models. Scan data can also be combined with drone imagery to capture roofs and high-level areas, giving architects, engineers and heritage consultants a complete, measurable record of the building to design from with confidence.
Laser scanning is particularly valuable for listed and historic buildings, where irregular walls, uneven floors and fine architectural detail are difficult to record accurately by hand. It is equally suited to busy or sensitive environments, as scanning can be carried out quickly, at night or outside working hours to minimise disruption. As a RICS regulated practice with an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, we check every dataset before delivery.
