Architectural 3D Scanning Services That Capture Existing Conditions with Millimetre Accuracy
Our 3D laser scanning for architecture ensures every detail of your site is accurately captured for seamless project development. Utilising advanced 3D laser scanning survey technology, we provide detailed insights both on-site and for interior spaces, including buildings, bridges, and roads, making us a leader in 3D laser scanning surveys.
Laser scanning accurately and efficiently records existing conditions for precise geometry and spatial awareness in the as-built environment.
Avian uses 3D laser scanning and surveying and geospatial technologies to capture the as-built with millimetre precision.
The benefit of laser scanning includes:
1. Avoids lengthy time onsite and costly revisits due to duplication or transcription errors.
2.3D models or 2D drawings can be generated from the scan data as an accurate digital twin of existing conditions.
3. Take accurate measurements and use in drafting, designing & creating architectural concepts.

The Benefits of Our 3D Scanning for Architecture
Measure Complex Structures
Measure large and complex structures with ease.
Bid on More Jobs
Architects can bid on more jobs, confident that we can visit the site and capture all the information with efficiency and accuracy.
Gain Confidence in Accuracy
Deliver client obligations with complete confidence in the accuracy of the 3D environment.
Shorter Time to Payment
With shorter data capture times and a faster start to design, the project timeframe is reduced and payments are issued earlier.
No return visits
Be confident that all data is accurately recorded and there are no gaps or errors, so there’s no need for site re-visits.
Save time
3D scanning for architecture is much faster than traditional measure up. We capture in half a day what would take multiple days using the traditional approach.

100+ CLIENTS
Clear 3D Visualisations
We create 3D virtual tours, architectural renders and 3D architectural visualisations from plans that are an impressive and easy-to-understand representation of the design or the as-built structure.
Design and visualise the concept in 3D space with impressive digital visualisations.
Clearer for the client to imagine and visualise. Many clients struggle to interpret plans and drawings, but a 3D visualisation, walkthrough or augmented reality projection is much more visible, which can enhance the client relationship and the signoff process.
Renders
Visualisations
3D Models
Improve Sales off the Plan
Imaging and video for sales and marketing
For project marketing we capture high-resolution photography and video including high-megapixel cameras to capture panoramas, aspect and level views.
Visualisations such as renders, views, photomontages, 3D walkthroughs and sales videos help to engage the audience and sell a lifestyle before the project is built, this builds client engagement and increases sales off-the-plan.

Architectural 3D Scanning Services FAQs
Common FAQs about 3D Architectural Scanning Services highlight how our services benefit architecture firms.
The cost of laser scanning for architect industry can depend on a range of factors, including the size of the scan areas, whether plans and drawings are needed, the level of detail required, and whether 3D visualisations are required.
For more info, explore our blog on laser scanning cost guide.
Using 3D Revit models allows for precision in design and installation as we are working with precision measurements from laser scanning. We are also able to create 2D drawings out of 3D Revit models, so you can still obtain drawings with more efficiency and accuracy. Learn more about how Architecture use 3D models in our article here.
We create all types of plans and drawings- Floor plans, Reflected Ceiling plans and views-Elevation, Section. Basically everything from construction and shop drawings to updated as-built, BIM and asset management models.
Feel free to check out this case study wherein our team conducted a laser scan of a commercial warehouse to understand more about laser scanning.
It usually takes us about 1 day onsite and 1-2 weeks to generate an accurate 3D model the building.
However, the time frame depends on the size and scale of your project. Our team usually conducts an initial consultation to understand the job scope and client requirements. You can easily book a free consultation with us easily via phone to the website here.
At Avian, we employ a comprehensive and strict quality management process:
- Our team of AEC professionals and land surveyors is experienced in surveying and laser scanning and understands the common pitfalls in this type of work.
- Using reliable and industry-leading scanning and surveying equipment and workflows.
- Quality control gateways of all data at key stages: acquisition, pre and post-processing and bespoke client reporting.
3D scanning offers extremely high accuracy, often within millimetres. Unlike traditional methods, it captures millions of data points quickly and in 3D, providing a comprehensive view of spaces and structures that are difficult to achieve otherwise.
We provide processed scan data in various formats, including point clouds (e.g., LAS, E57), CAD files (DWG, DXF), and BIM-ready models (Revit, IFC). Deliverables are customised based on your project requirements to seamlessly integrate with your existing design software.
Absolutely. Detailed scans capture existing MEP systems with precision, allowing architects and engineers to plan upgrades or installations accurately. This reduces clashes during construction and supports effective coordination across complex commercial building systems.
