3D Scanning

Forensic-grade LiDAR capture of the space as it really is.

High density terrestrial laser scanning captures accessible, line of sight conditions and produces a registered point cloud for CAD, BIM and facility documentation. Accuracy and coverage are confirmed for each project based on site conditions, range and deliverable requirements.

What is laser scanning (Light Detection and Ranging)

A true-to-life 3D record, captured in minutes.

Kickstart purchased its first LiDAR scanner nearly 10 years ago, we were excited to share this pioneering technology with our clients! Since then, we have completed a multitude of projects and saved thousands of hours of labour by replacing antiquated measuring tools. Fast, highly accurate 3D point-cloud capture. Within a 25 m radius each point is accurate to ± 2 mm, and digital photos are overlaid on the cloud for a true-to-life 3D record of the space.

  • Fast, highly accurate 3D point-cloud capture. and digital photos are overlaid on the cloud for a true-to-life 3D record of the space.
  • Photo-overlaid point cloud for true colour context
  • Captured on site, with the number of visits determined by project scope and access requirements.

How it works

Three steps from site to point cloud.

  1. 1

    High-density data capture

    Laser scanning captures detailed measurements of visible, accessible surfaces to support existing-condition documentation.

  2. 2

    Efficient on-site scanning

    Scan times vary with settings and site conditions. Capture is planned around access and operational requirements to help minimize disruption.

  3. 3

    One registered point cloud

    Multiple scan positions are aligned into one registered point cloud for use within the agreed project scope.

From point cloud to deliverable

Field-to-finish, handed back as CAD.

  • Extract distances, 2D plans, elevations and cross-sections directly from the scan
  • Build accurate Revit models at your required LOD
  • Field-to-finish capture with finished CAD handback

Why it pays

One coordinated dataset. Multiple project uses.

  • Reduced field time

    One capture replaces repeat site visits and manual measuring.

  • Built-in redundancy

    The full point cloud is your QC backup. Recheck anything, anytime.

  • One survey model

    A registered point cloud provides a shared reference for project teams working within the captured areas and agreed scope.
