Drone and 3D scanner surveying: the real condition of your building or site.

We capture buildings, sites and construction with 3D laser scanners and drones, and turn that information into point clouds and accurate BIM models to design, intervene or track progress.

What it is

Accurately measure what already exists.

When a project starts from an existing building, old drawings rarely match reality. With a 3D laser scanner we capture millions of points that describe the building as it is.

With drones flown by professionals certified as RPA Operators by Chile's civil aviation authority (DGAC), we record sites and construction from the air to check progress against the BIM model.

What it's for

  • Renovate or retrofit existing buildings
  • Get accurate drawings of current conditions
  • Model a building's as-built
  • Track progress on construction and site development
  • Survey hard-to-reach sites
What we deliver

From site to model.

Point cloud

3D record of the building or site, processed and georeferenced.

Existing conditions model

BIM model built on the point cloud, ready for design.

Aerial monitoring

Construction tracking flights to compare progress with the model.

Survey drawings

Plans, sections and elevations of current conditions.

How we work

Four steps, from site to model.

1

Planning

We define what gets surveyed, with which equipment and at what accuracy.

2

Capture

We scan and fly on site with our team.

3

Processing

We register and clean the point cloud.

4

Model

We deliver the point cloud, the model and the drawings.

Where we use it

Buildings, sites and construction.

Frequently asked questions

About 3D surveys.

What is a point cloud?

It's a three-dimensional record made up of millions of points measured with a laser scanner. It represents the building or site as it exists.

Are the drone operators certified?

Yes. Our professionals hold the RPA Operator certification issued by Chile's DGAC.

Can you model from the point cloud?

Yes. We develop the BIM model of existing conditions on the point cloud.

Do you work outside Concepción?

Yes. We arrange the survey according to the project's location, throughout Chile.
