Our Solutions for Construction
As-Built Documentation
Capture the existing conditions of a site or structure and create accurate “as-built” plans used for design and planning for all project teams and contractors.
Let’s ensure what’s built matches what was planned with the right site documentation from the start.
Progress Monitoring
Run scans throughout the build process to track progress, identify deviations from specifications, and ensure quality standards are met. This helps prevent costly delays, rework and supports more effective project management.
Quality Control and Verification
Compare 3D scans against BIM or CAD models to verify construction elements are installed correctly and within tolerance, detect any discrepancies, reduce rework and ensure high-quality outcomes.
Clash Detection and Coordination
In complex projects involving multiple systems (e.g., HVAC, electrical, plumbing), 3D scanning for construction can help identify spatial conflicts between components before installation, enabling teams to resolve issues proactively. Contractors work is checked to ensure specifications have been met avoiding costs or delays
Site Planning and Safety
Use 3D scan data to assess site topography, clearances, and access routes. This can improve site planning and enhance safety and project efficiency by reducing the need for delays or manual measurements in hazardous areas.
Renovation and Retrofit Projects
For older buildings or structures without accurate documentation, 3D laser scanning for construction provides essential measurements and geometry, forming a reliable foundation for design, renovation or expansion.
Post-Construction and Handover
Post-build scans provide a comprehensive digital record of the finished structure, supporting effective facility management, maintenance planning, and future upgrades. BIM models are used to document contractor history and maintenance schedules.
3D Scanning Delivers Accuracy You Won’t Find Anywhere Else
Our 3D scanning for construction project management provides highly accurate documentation of your site, enabling precise planning, layout verification, and on-site coordination. Using state-of-the-art laser scanning and surveying technology, we capture detailed spatial data for both structural and architectural elements across commercial buildings, infrastructure works, and active construction sites.
3D laser scanning for construction offers fast, precise recording of real-world conditions, delivering exact measurements and geometry to support construction workflows, reduce errors, and keep projects on track. When combined with our 3D scanning and laser scanning for reverse engineering, this ensures smooth project delivery from design and conception to build and completion.
At Avian, we combine advanced laser scanning, surveying, and geospatial tools to produce millimetre-accurate as-built data, giving construction teams the confidence to build, inspect, and hand over with clarity and efficiency.

The Benefits of 3D Laser Scanning for Construction
Increased Speed to Delivery
3D scanning captures comprehensive site data in a fraction of the time of manual methods, meaning quicker design verification, streamlined workflows, and the ability to meet tight deadlines, helping you deliver projects sooner.
Competitive Advantage in Bidding
High-quality visualisations and accurate models can help win more jobs – firms offering 3D scanning capabilities stand out in tenders by demonstrating precision, efficiency, and innovation.
Reduced Rework and Cost Overruns
Accurate as-built data helps catch errors early and ensures everything is built according to plan. This reduces costly rework, change orders, and material waste.
Better Coordination and Fewer Delays
3D scan data provides a single source of truth. It helps identify clashes and design issues early, reducing delays and ensuring smoother coordination across teams and trades.
Improved On-Site Safety
Limit the need for your workers to access dangerous or hard-to-reach areas and reduce risk, enhance compliance, and help maintain a strong safety record on-site.

3D Scanning for Construction FAQs
3D scanning captures precise as-built conditions of a construction site at various stages. It supports layout verification, progress tracking, and quality control. The resulting data helps project teams validate installations, monitor changes, and reduce the risk of errors or rework.
3D laser scanning for construction is valuable for a wide range of projects, including commercial buildings, infrastructure, industrial facilities, and fit-outs. It’s especially useful for renovations, retrofits, and complex builds where accuracy and coordination are critical to project success.
Most site scans can be completed within a single day, depending on the size and access conditions. Once data is collected, it typically takes 1–2 weeks to process and deliver outputs such as point clouds, CAD drawings, or BIM models.
Yes. By comparing scan data with design models (such as BIM), 3D scanning can reveal misalignments, incomplete installations, or deviations from earlier plans, allowing teams to take corrective action before issues escalate or cause delays.
3D scanning provides full spatial documentation in a fraction of the time, reducing manual errors and improving site safety. It captures millions of data points quickly, delivering a comprehensive, accurate view of the site that manual measurements can’t match – saving time, cost, and effort.
We deliver scan data in construction-ready formats, including point clouds (E57, RCP), 2D drawings (DWG), and 3D BIM models (Revit, IFC). These files are compatible with construction software, allowing your team to easily use the data for planning, clash detection, layout verification, or handover documentation.
