3D Surveys & BIM Surveys

At Digital Inc we provide 3D surveys and BIM surveys for architects, engineers and construction workers so that every stage of your project is planned properly.

The level of detail that our 3d building surveys can introduce and include within your design make it a worthwhile investment for construction projects. Our surveys use 3D scanning technology, which is far more accurate and much quicker than traditional methods. We can measure every part of your project to the nearest centimetre and provide you with a visualisation of the whole project. The ability to see the project in its entirety improves the synergy between design and construction.

BENEFITS OF 3D SURVEYS AND BIM SURVEYS

  • Better understand project cost and the quantities you need
  • Easily verify the construction prior to its build
  • Reduce and plan for risks in your construction project

  • Save time and money on discussions, knock out extra stages

  • Get a visual guide to your project, with speed and accuracy

  • Easily get to a place where you can decide if a project is viable

HOW DOES IT WORK?

YOU SEND AN ENQUIRY

We get back to you with a few questions about the site, such as size, location, floor plans, photos etc.

RECEIVE QUOTE AND BOOK

You receive a quote and confirm the date for the survey. This can be done as early as the next day.

WE SURVEY THE SITE

We conduct the survey and process data into the point cloud, measured building survey drawings or 3D BIM models.

YOU RECEIVE DATA

You receive point cloud, drawings or models, ready for you to use in the required formats.

FAQs

What exactly is BIM?

BIM (Building Information Modelling) is an intelligent process that uses 3D models to allow architects, engineers and construction professionals to plan, design, construct and manage buildings and infrastructure in a collaborative and efficient way.

The reason why BIM is important is that it improves project outcomes because it helps coordination and collaboration with stakeholders and leads to more efficient workflows and 3D visualisations. Among the benefits is that the 3D model enables document management, coordination and simulation during the entire lifecycle of a project (plan, design, build, operation and maintenance).

As BIM is a combination of technology and process, intelligent 3D modelling software with an agreed execution plan are fundamental to all BIM projects.

The end client typically sets the BIM requirements to ensure all stakeholders (Architects, engineers, contractors, sub-contractors, etc) design and build the project using a BIM process. This ensures accurate and timely coordination of all building information resulting in a ‘Digital Twin’ of the physical building.

A 3D survey is a fast and accurate way to record the spatial detail of a building. We use high-tech laser scanners and photography to capture the precise geometric data for project models, which can then be used to facilitate the BIM process.

Drone photogrammetry is not only cost effective, it also offers flexibility when it comes to capturing 2D and 3D data.

The way that drone photogrammetry works is that a drone captures a large range of overlapping photos of an area, showing the same point from various different angles. This then allows us to create a 3D map in high resolution that includes information on elevation and height as well as shape, texture and colour.
