Facades and interiors: accurate elevations, plans and real geometry

Facades and interiors captured with engineering survey data

We measure visible geometry, openings, joints, levels, finishes and complex interior details for renovation, design and production tasks.

The output can combine drawings, point clouds, orthophotos, 3D models and photo records so the team can check details without repeated visits.

What matters before work starts

Choose your task and capture zones to clarify the scope of work.

Scenario

When this object needs capture

Capture is needed when a project lacks current dimensions, condition records or access to particular zones.

Existing information is incomplete

Old drawings, photos or memories rarely describe facades and interiors with enough reliability.

Complex geometry is easy to miss

Important details in openings, reveals, joints, levels, finishes and hard-to-measure details can disappear in manual notes or scattered photos.

Access has limits

Schedule, height, safety, weather or restricted areas can change the capture method.

Different teams need one measured fact

We deliver files in an agreed structure for designers, inspectors, contractors and owners.

Repeat visits slow decisions

A complete measured and visual package reduces avoidable clarification trips.

Capture

What we capture

Before the visit, we agree survey zones and elements requiring dimensions, images or additional detail.

Geometry and dimensions

Measured shape, levels, control dimensions and priority zones of the facades and interiors.

Visible condition

Photos, panoramas and notes for surfaces, restrictions and visible defects.

Surrounding context

Adjacent elements, routes, access points and interfaces that affect the work.

Priority details

openings, reveals, joints, levels, finishes and hard-to-measure details

Access limitations

Unavailable zones and method limits are recorded so the team understands the data boundary.

Practical scenarios

We deliver survey data for facades and interiors in formats agreed with the design, inspection, restoration or construction team.

Before design or reconstruction

The team receives measured geometry, photos and context for openings, reveals, joints, levels, finishes and hard-to-measure details.

For inspection or condition records

The capture records current state, restricted zones and visible details on a specific date.

For remote coordination

Point clouds, drawings and visual records help participants discuss the object without repeated visits.

How the work runs

We agree the task and method, capture and process the data, then deliver the files.

  1. 01

    Clarify the task and risk

    We clarify why the facades and interiors is being captured, which zones matter and what data format the team needs.

  2. 02

    Select the method

    We combine scanning, geodesy, photogrammetry, measured surveys, BIM and 360 capture according to access, accuracy and timeline.

  3. 03

    Capture the site

    We plan the route, scan positions, safety and visual records so the object context is not lost.

  4. 04

    Process the data

    We register point clouds, clean data, prepare drawings, models, orthophotos, panoramas and a clear folder structure.

  5. 05

    Deliver and explain

    We hand over agreed formats, explain what is inside the package and help the project team start using the data.

Scope, timing and source data

Open the factors that affect the estimate for your object.

What determines scope and timing

We consider these conditions when planning scope and the capture schedule.

Size and extent

Area, number of levels, route length and object scale define survey and processing time.

Access and site regime

Access windows, height, safety, permits, night work or events change the schedule and team setup.

Required detail

Archive, drawings, BIM, mesh and deviation checks need different density and processing depth.

Output formats

Point clouds, DWG/PDF, BIM, IFC, orthophotos, 360 views and reports require different post-processing effort.

Condition and environment

Light, weather, season, visitors, water, dust, reflective surfaces and dense engineering affect the method.

Urgency

Fast delivery may require staged planning or a larger processing team.

Source data needed for an estimate

A complete brief is helpful but not required. Clear inputs make it faster to propose the right scope.

Address or coordinates

City, address, site limits or the point where the facades and interiors is located.

Survey goal

Design, reconstruction, restoration, as-built control, inventory, inspection or remote review.

Work scope

Which zones must be captured fully, which can be overview-only and where higher detail is needed.

Target result

Point cloud, DWG/PDF, BIM/Revit/IFC, orthophoto, 360, photo archive or another handoff structure.

Access and restrictions

Schedule, permits, height, safety, seasonality and zones that cannot be entered.

Existing materials

Old drawings, plans, photos, videos, brief, schemes, links or any files that help estimate the task.

FAQ

Answers focus on this object scenario: what to send, which data to expect and where the service boundaries are.

Can you estimate facades and interiors without a full brief?

Yes. For a first estimate we usually need the address, photos or old materials, approximate scope, goal, deadline and desired output format.

What accuracy is possible?

For many tasks, key zones can be captured from 1 mm, but actual accuracy depends on the object, access, method and required detail. We agree this before the site visit.

Can you capture only part of the object?

Yes. Many projects start with priority zones: a facade, room, node, site area, structure or route. The important part is to define boundaries and the purpose of the data.

Which formats can we receive?

Typical outputs include E57/RCP/RCS, DWG/PDF, Revit/IFC/Archicad, orthophotos, mesh, image archives and 360 panoramas. The final set depends on the task.

Can the survey work with limited access?

Yes, if access windows, safety restrictions and survey zones are clear in advance. Restricted, high or seasonal objects are planned separately.

What is outside this service?

We prepare measured source data and a condition archive. Specialist engineering, legal, restoration, environmental or certification conclusions are handled separately by the relevant professionals.

Need capture for facades and interiors?

Send the address, photos or old materials, task, deadline and desired output. We will suggest a method, work scope and the data needed for a precise estimate.
