How quickly can you scan a building in Dorset?
Most single buildings in Dorset are captured in one site day, hotels and larger estates in two to three. Registration and QA follow within 48 hours; drawings or BIM models take from a few days to a few weeks depending on the level of detail.
How accurate is the survey?
Registered Leica RTC360 point clouds are typically within 2 to 5 mm across a building. We agree the tolerance for your use before surveying and report against it.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
Yes. Dorset is one of our core areas, along with Hampshire and the rest of the South Coast. We also work from our London office and take on larger scanning projects anywhere in the UK.
How do I get a quote?
We quote per project. Send us the address, the areas to be surveyed and what the data is for, and we will quote within one working day.
