Frequently Asked Questions

3D laser scanning is a surveying technology that captures the exact shape and position of physical objects and environments using laser light. A scanner records millions of measurement points per second, producing a 'point cloud' — a precise digital replica of a building, plant, or site that engineers use for design, documentation, and verification.

Cost depends on site size, complexity, location, and the deliverables you need. A small building survey starts significantly lower than a full process plant capture with BIM modelling. We provide free, detailed quotes within 24–48 hours — share your project scope through our contact form and we'll recommend the most cost-effective approach.

Field capture is fast: a typical building floor takes hours, a full industrial facility two to five days. Processing and deliverable production usually takes one to three weeks depending on scope. We confirm a delivery schedule in every proposal, and phased delivery is available for urgent packages.

Our terrestrial scanners capture individual points to ±2mm accuracy. Overall project accuracy is controlled through survey-grade registration and verified in a QA report delivered with the data — so you know exactly what tolerance your dataset supports.

All of Nigeria. We are headquartered in Lagos and mobilise regularly to Abuja, Port Harcourt, Warri, Kaduna, Ibadan, and industrial sites nationwide, as well as projects across West Africa. Mobilisation costs are included transparently in every quote.

Registered point clouds (RCP, E57, LAS), BIM models (Revit, ArchiCAD, IFC), 2D CAD drawings (DWG), 3D meshes, web-based virtual walkthroughs, digital twins, deviation analysis reports, and topographic mapping. Deliverables are matched to the software your team already uses.

Yes. Laser scanning is non-contact and non-disruptive. We routinely capture live production environments — coordinating with your HSE and operations teams, complying with permit-to-work systems, and scheduling around critical operations.

As-built drawings are 2D documentation (plans, sections, elevations) of existing conditions. Scan to BIM produces an intelligent 3D model where elements carry information — walls know they're walls, pipes have diameters and materials. BIM suits design coordination and facility management; 2D as-builts suit simpler renovation and records purposes. Many projects use both.

Scan data is handled under strict access control, transferred through encrypted channels, and stored securely. For sensitive facilities we sign NDAs before mobilisation and can operate under your organisation's data handling procedures.

Frequently. We act as the local capture partner for international EPCs and design firms — performing field scanning in Nigeria and delivering registered data to their specifications, saving the cost and complexity of flying in scanning teams.
