3D Measured Surveys

We specialise in surveying existing buildings using the latest laser scanning technology — allowing us to capture even the most hard-to-reach locations, in any condition.

Here, we’re surveying the basement of a historic Oxford location, all while a busy restaurant operates above.

Capturing Data Beyond Tripods

Not all surveys rely solely on terrestrial tripod-based scanners! For hard-to-access areas, we leverage photogrammetry, using drones and high-resolution images to generate highly accurate point clouds.

Photogrammetry in Action!

The first step in bringing reality into 3D? Capturing hundreds of high-resolution images! We use DSLRs for ground-based shots and drones for aerial views to ensure no detail is missed.

Here’s a sneak peek behind the scenes of an exciting project we’re working on – stay tuned to see it come to life! 👀

Oxford Botanical Gardens – Bringing the Model to Life with Twinmotion Renders

Taking our 3D BIM model of Oxford Botanical Gardens one step further, we’ve now added real-time visualization using Twinmotion, creating stunning, high-quality renders that bring the site to life.

Why Visualization Matters:
✅ Realistic lighting, textures, and landscaping for enhanced presentations
✅ Accurate environmental context to support design and planning decisions
✅ Engaging visuals that make complex data accessible to all stakeholders

With Twinmotion, we transform technical models into compelling, lifelike images, ensuring projects can be communicated with clarity and impact.

Oxford Botanical Gardens – A New Perspective in the City Landscape

Our 3D BIM model of Oxford Botanical Gardens isn’t just a standalone representation, it’s now positioned within the Oxford city landscape, offering a broader perspective of how this historic site fits into its surroundings.

Why This Matters:
✅ Urban context visualization for planning and development
✅ Seamless integration with city-wide projects
✅ A powerful tool for architects, planners, and conservationists

By placing our highly detailed BIM model within its real-world environment, we enhance decision-making, heritage analysis, and future project planning.

Oxford Botanical Gardens – From Scan to 3D BIM Model

Following our comprehensive 3D survey and registered scan of the Oxford Botanical Gardens, we’ve now transformed the data into a detailed 3D BIM model. This next stage enables:

✅ Accurate digital documentation for conservation and refurbishment
✅ Seamless integration with design and planning workflows
✅ Improved collaboration for architects, surveyors, and heritage specialists

By leveraging Building Information Modelling (BIM), we ensure that historic and complex sites can be preserved, analyzed, and developed with precision and efficiency.
