Point cloud from drone imagery
Millions of points from drone imagery that faithfully describe your space — a measurable base for BIM, quality control and precise measurement. Laser (LiDAR) scanning Coming soon.
A point cloud is a set of millions of 3D points across the surfaces of a space — each with an X-Y-Z coordinate and colour, together a precise digital record of the as-is condition. There are two kinds: from drone imagery (a photogrammetric cloud — the same shots we build the 3D model from, available now) and from laser (LiDAR) scanning (Coming soon). Right now we deliver the drone point cloud — the measurable base from which BIM models, sections, floor plans and quality control are produced.
When to use it
What point cloud is best for
- ✓As-built capture: accurate geometry of an existing building before reconstruction or adaptation.
- ✓Base for BIM / CAD: model to real measurements instead of old or missing drawings.
- ✓Quality control & deviation: compare as-built against design (scan-to-BIM, deviation analysis).
- ✓Measurement & sections: areas, volumes, heights and cross-sections from a single capture.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a point cloud and a 3D model?
A point cloud is the raw set of millions of points — a measurable base. A 3D or BIM model is the processed geometry (surfaces and elements) we build from that cloud.
Which formats do you deliver the point cloud in?
Typically E57, LAS/LAZ and PTS — compatible with Revit, AutoCAD, CloudCompare and other tools.
How accurate is it?
Millimetre to centimetre, depending on method, equipment and site conditions. We provide an estimate up front for each project.
Do you scan both interiors and exteriors?
Drone capture covers exteriors, roofs and terrain. Laser (terrestrial) scanning for precise interiors is Coming soon.
