AJ Digital takes this raw point cloud data and refines it, transforming it into a truly valuable tool. We apply real-world coordinates, ensuring perfect alignment with your existing plans to enable seamless integration with other digital platforms used in construction and facility management. Our laser scanning services are designed to empower our clients at every stage of the entire building lifecycle. This is how we deliver that technology.
Laser scanning enables clarity on the early stages of each project, allowing us to identify any potential deviations or clashes in the base design. This proactive approach empowers our clients to address these issues before work begins, preventing costly delays and rework.

Traditionally, as-built drawings are created after construction is complete. However, these drawings may not always capture every modification made on-site. Laser scanning provides a complete and verifiable record of the building’s "as-built" state. We compare this digital record with the original design and identify any discrepancies. This meticulous review helps clients to finalise accurate as-built documentation, ensuring a smooth handover process and avoiding potential disputes.

Once our 3D laser scanning captures a comprehensive point cloud, the next step in our process is Scan to BIM (Building Information Modelling). This involves converting the point cloud data obtained through digital laser scanning into a detailed 3D model using industry-leading software like Autodesk Revit. This model serves as a central hub of information, seamlessly integrating architectural, structural, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) elements.
The Scan to BIM model can then be used throughout the project lifecycle – from design and planning to construction and ongoing maintenance. It facilitates clash detection, enables better communication between stakeholders, and supports efficient decision-making.
At AJ Digital, we tailor our Scan to BIM services to your specific needs. Whether you require a basic architectural model or a highly detailed Level of Detail (LOD) 500 model, we can deliver accurate and reliable results.
While discrepancy review is a core benefit, laser scanning offers many additional advantages:
Laser scans provide a detailed and measurable understanding of existing conditions, enabling architects and engineers to create more accurate and efficient designs.
A digital twin of each building facilitates efficient space planning, maintenance scheduling and asset tracking.
Laser scans allow for remote collaboration and decision-making, minimising the need for frequent physical site visits.
By providing a clear understanding of existing conditions, laser scanning helps to identify potential safety hazards before construction begins.
With years of experience in 3D laser scanning survey projects, we understand the unique challenges of construction and engineering environments. Our team combines technical expertise with practical industry knowledge to deliver:
