How we work together
Four steps.
Ready for design.
From the first conversation to data handover:
We tailor every step to your design requirements.
- 01
Define the design brief
Agree on project goals, survey areas, accuracy, modelling scope and output formats together.
- 02
Capture existing conditions
Survey buildings and plants with suitable equipment and combine scan data into a point cloud.
- 03
Model the data
Create CAD drawings and 3D models from the point cloud at the agreed level of detail.
- 04
Deliver structured results
Check the results and provide them in the agreed formats for your subsequent design work.
