Existing information is incomplete
Old drawings, photos or memories rarely describe yachts and ships with enough reliability.
Yachts and ships: accurate geometry of hulls, decks and interiors
We document hull geometry, decks, cabins, technical spaces and visible condition for refit, design, production or archive tasks.
Scanning and photogrammetry can be combined with photo records so designers and contractors can review complex geometry before decisions are made.
When this object needs capture
These situations usually have a high cost of error: a wrong fact quickly turns into repeated visits, rework and disputed design decisions.
Complex geometry is easy to miss
Important details in hulls, decks, cabins, technical spaces, surfaces and 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
Designers, inspectors, contractors and owners need the same structured data instead of separate versions.
Repeat visits slow decisions
A complete measured and visual package reduces avoidable clarification trips.
What we capture
The exact zones depend on the task. A clear object anatomy helps define the details that must be preserved during handoff.
Geometry and dimensions
Measured shape, levels, control dimensions and priority zones of the ships.
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
hulls, decks, cabins, technical spaces, surfaces and details
Access limitations
Unavailable zones and method limits are recorded so the team understands the data boundary.
What affects price and timing
These factors help estimate a realistic budget range and 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 ships 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.
What the customer receives
The output is assembled as a data package for design, reconstruction, control, operation or remote review, not as files for the sake of files.
Point cloud
E57, RCP/RCS, LAS/LAZ
Registered and cleaned measured geometry for checking, modelling and coordination.
Drawings and schemes
DWG, PDF
Plans, elevations, sections, profiles or control schemes according to the task.
3D / BIM model
RVT, IFC, SKP by agreement
A model from survey data at the level of detail the team actually needs.
Photo and 360 record
JPG, panoramas, web tour
Visual context for remote review, condition records and discussions.
Recommended work scope
The service mix is selected by object type and project risk. This helps avoid unnecessary work while covering the data the team needs.

Practical scenarios
For ships, the useful result is not just a file set. The team needs a clear scope, measured facts and formats that can move straight into design, inspection, restoration or contractor work.
Before design or reconstruction
The team receives measured geometry, photos and context for hulls, decks, cabins, technical spaces, surfaces and 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.
Capture examples
We show the overall object and working fragments used to check geometry, nodes, surfaces and context. This helps agree the delivery scope faster and avoid repeat visits.
How the work runs
The process is transparent for small objects and large sites: first the task and method, then capture, processing and data handoff.
- 01
Clarify the task and risk
We clarify why the ships is being captured, which zones matter and what data format the team needs.
- 02
Select the method
We combine scanning, geodesy, photogrammetry, measured surveys, BIM and 360 capture according to access, accuracy and timeline.
- 03
Capture the site
We plan the route, scan positions, safety and visual records so the object context is not lost.
- 04
Process the data
We register point clouds, clean data, prepare drawings, models, orthophotos, panoramas and a clear folder structure.
- 05
Deliver and explain
We hand over agreed formats, explain what is inside the package and help the project team start using the data.
FAQ
Answers focus on this object scenario: what to send, which data to expect and where the service boundaries are.
Can you estimate ships 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 ships?
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.
