Accuracy is everything in the fast-changing world of
construction, architecture, and engineering. Whether you're planning a
renovation, building a new structure, or managing a facility, having the right
measurements and details is essential. That’s where 3D laser scanning
and as-built drawings come in. And when it comes to trusted service
providers in the UK, Rvtcad stands out as a reliable name.
What is 3D Laser Scanning?
3D laser scanning
is a modern technology that uses laser beams to capture the exact shape and
dimensions of buildings, structures, and landscapes. It creates a point
cloud, which is a collection of millions of data points representing the
surface of objects. These point clouds can be converted into 3D models
or 2D CAD drawings, making planning, designing, and building easier.
This method is faster, more accurate, and safer than
traditional surveying techniques. It’s widely used in the UK across industries
like:
- Architecture
- Engineering
- Construction
- Heritage
conservation
- Industrial
plants
- Facilities
management
What are As-Built Drawings?
As-built drawings are detailed and updated plans that
show the real conditions of a building after construction. They reflect all
changes made during the building process, including plumbing, electrical
layouts, wall placements, and more. These drawings help:
- Track
project progress
- Support
renovations and extensions
- Maintain
buildings and facilities
- Ensure
safety compliance
As-built drawings are typically created using data from 3D
laser scans, which ensures they are precise and reflect the true structure.

Our Key Services
1. 3D Laser Scanning
We scan your building or site using high-speed lasers. The
output is a point cloud, which is a digital replica of the scanned
space. It’s perfect for:
- Renovation
and retrofitting
- Construction
validation
- Heritage
documentation
- Interior
fit-out planning
2. Point Cloud to BIM
We convert raw point cloud data into 3D BIM models using
tools like Revit. These models are detailed, accurate, and can be used for
clash detection, planning, and facility management.
3. As-Built Drawing Creation
From point cloud or manual surveys, we create as-built 2D
drawings (floor plans, elevations, sections). They’re suitable for:
- Architects
- Contractors
- Real
estate developers
4. Scan to CAD Services
We deliver AutoCAD-ready files from laser scans.
These are essential for engineers, designers, and manufacturers working with
detailed plans.
