A point cloud can be defined as "a collection of data points in space produced by 3D scanners." Laser scanners capture an accurate as-built scan of an area, which we then use to draw the existing structure with the exact dimensions and specifications. The information captured in this scan is then turned into a ...

BIM is the foundation of digital transformation in the built environment. This means it has opened up many possibilities for surveyors. In the past, surveying relied on 2D topographic surveys, elevations and floor plans, whereas nowadays, it has moved on to 3D intelligent models, last scanning, point clouds and UAV photogrammetry. The following significant ...

We have recently added surveying to our raft of other quality services, including topographical surveying, surveys to BIM and measured surveys. What are measured surveys? The RICS defines measured surveys as "taking measurements of sites of buildings to produce accurate drawings to scale. They are usually specified to an agreed level of detail, acceptable ...

A topographic survey is a survey that records coordinates and height data for a particular survey area. The data collected by a topographic survey can be used to create contour or spot height maps, or even more complex terrain models of the surveyed area. General principles of a topographic survey The general principles of ...

BIM (Building Information Modelling) is one of the biggest opportunities that surveyors have had presented to them in many years. The model-based approach combines both processes and technologies to support the efficient creation and use of information for construction and building operations. Add to this its strong use of spatial information, and you can ...

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is becoming increasingly commonplace in construction projects on a global scale. The combination of improved collaboration and technology gives project managers the ability to better manage construction projects and comply with budget and time constraints. However, the BIM life cycle and efforts to adopt it will be futile if surveying ...
