3D laser scanning services in Brisbane & SEQ

3D laser scanning is a non-contact technology that uses lasers to capture the exact physical shape and dimensions of a site or structure. The scanner projects millions of laser points per second to create a highly accurate digital replica made of point data—known as a point cloud.

Compared to manual or traditional methods, 3D laser scanning is significantly faster, safer, and more comprehensive. It captures millions of measurement points in minutes, reduces missed measurements and return site visits, and records complex or hard-to-reach features in detail. Your design team can also check dimensions remotely in the point cloud and walkthrough.

3D scanning is ideal for complex commercial or industrial redevelopments or upgrades, heritage site preservation, structural engineering, civil infrastructure, MEP/HVAC modeling and projects where precise spatial accuracy is essential.

Depending on your project requirements, we deliver processed Point Cloud files (.e57, .rcp, .las, .pts).

Every survey we do includes a free 360° walkthrough where you can take measurements (No install .exe file for Windows).

We can also use scans to produce 2D CAD drawings (.dwg, .dxf), or complete 3D BIM models (.rvt for Revit, .ifc for ArchiCAD and others).

Yes. Our deliverables are fully compatible with industry-standard software like Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, and Civil 3D. Architects and engineers can seamlessly import the point cloud data as an accurate 3D backdrop for immediate design work. Our expert team can help you integrate point clouds into your workflows.

We measure visible surfaces and features with high accuracy and detail. Achievable accuracy depends on the surfaces being measured, site conditions and survey control. For models, your quote states the modelling tolerance: typically ±30 mm (Low), ±10 mm (Standard) or ±5 mm (High), measured as the average deviation between the model and the point cloud.

A standard resolution single scan takes ~3‑4 minutes per scan and can capture everything within its line of sight up to an effective range of 10‑20m, depending on site conditions and obstructions. We take multiple scans to cover all areas within our scope of work. Your quote will specify expected 3D scanning survey duration.

Scanning time depends on the type of survey:

• 3D scanning time of an internal building depends on number of rooms, access restrictions and complexity of the layout. We usually need 2‑4 scans per typical room, complex layouts may require more scans to ensure full coverage. If in-ceiling service scans are required, additional 4‑6 scans may be required per room, depending on configuration of services.
• 3D scanning time of an external site depends on complexity, visibility and accessibility. On a typical project we take a scan every 10‑20m. This ensures high coverage of site features and provides multiple scan stations for the 360 degree walkthrough.

Yes. Because 3D laser scanning is completely remote and non-intrusive, we can measure occupied buildings, open public spaces, active construction sites, or high-traffic areas without disrupting daily operations or endangering site personnel. We've done live hospitals, schools and universities, water treatment plants, factories and many commercial properties.

Pricing depends on several factors: the overall size and spatial complexity of the site, site accessibility, scan resolution that is required, and whether you need just point cloud and the walkthrough or if you want us to prepare 2D CAD floorplans, or full 3D BIM models in Revit or IFC.

To ensure the highest accuracy and speed, minimize line-of-sight obstacles where possible and ensure safe, efficient access to key areas. If we're scanning an external site, please mow the grass and remove excessive vegetation. In short, the more the scanner can see, the better the result will be.

Provide site inductions and access approvals ahead of time.
