Laser Scanning & 3D Modelling

Laser scanning and 3D modelling services in Geelong, Melbourne, Ballarat, regional Victoria and Colac

Laser scanning

Laser scanning allows the mass capture of highly accurate data, to form a point cloud. The point cloud data can then be used to create 3D models for use in many aspects of the design process. Our team has experience in a diverse range of laser scanning and 3D modelling projects, stretching from small-scale residential projects to complex industrial developments and large public buildings.

Swanson Surveying use Faro Scanners and Trimble Real Works Software to survey and collate data for use in:

• Building design and documentation
• Building Information Modelling (BIM)
• BIM for building facility management databases
• Heritage assessments
• Engineering applications
  • Reverse engineering
  • Pipework design
  • Roading
  • Infrastructure assessments
  • Deformation monitoring
  • Asset management and recording.

3D modelling

We can also provide our clients with 3D models of the point cloud suitable for use in AutoDesk Revit, ArchiCAD and CAD. These 3D models are survey accurate and can be used for design, documentation, asset management and marketing purposes.

Our Standard 3D Model includes core building elements in 3D which allows the user to understand the building in greater depth, assisting with identifying conflicts early on and better visualisation of the space for clients. Can be incorporated with a 2D floor plan if requested.

Standard 3D Model

Our Extended 3D Model includes all the standard fundamental building elements as a base but can then be further customised to suit the individual client, project and purpose. This allows us to meet our client’s needs without blowing the budget on unnecessary data and time.

Building floor plans

Swanson Surveying can also provide 2D Building Floor plans, delivered in AutoCAD DWG and PDF formats, to give owners and other professionals a cost-effective understanding of a building layout.

Our Standard Building Floor Plan includes core building elements such as internal & externals walls, floors & ceiling levels, internal & external door and window positions, and exposed columns.

Standard Building Floor Plan

Our Architectural Building Floor Plans have the same standard inclusions with additional dimensions for all doors & windows. This extra information is great for a more detailed understanding of the building and its foundation movements. The plan presentation is more traditional for Architectural plans.
