What we do

Laser Scanning

3D Laser Scanning for construction surveying is more efficient than traditional methods. With our 3D scanning services, your asset is captured using the latest digital twin technology and recreated as a point cloud model quickly, efficiently, and accurately.

Scan-To-BIM

Our end-to-end Scan-to-BIM service creates a digital twin, transforming raw data into intelligent 3D models, which can be used for planning, developing, monitoring and managing your asset. We offer: Architectural BIM modelling and MEP BIM Modelling.

Model Validation

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is transforming the construction verification process. Using model validation AI and machine-learning automatically analyses and compares site survey data to the BIM model in just a fraction of the time of traditional methods, providing rapid critical insight and reducing risk.

360° Progress Reporting

360° Progress Monitoring improves record-keeping, communication and transparency, facilitated via remote, role-based access. Receive hi-resolution photos and other visual data to monitor site progress at key stages of the build; all delivered to you in a cloud-based format.

Virtual Tours

Open your destination virtually with a 360° Virtual Tour including dollhouse views, floor plans, venue information and other ultra-smart features. Virtual tours boost engagement and sales by opening up incredible spaces to a digital audience, and provide perfect records for important milestones.

Drone Surveys

Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), use sensors to capture data from multiple vantage points, mapping complex or difficult areas to produce detailed models of sites or buildings. Drone surveys capture your site in high resolution quickly, safely and efficiently.

Reality Capture in the Construction Industry

Reality capture in the construction industry is fast becoming commonplace. It helps builders stand out from the competition by accelerating the speed of construction, as data can be captured and stages signed off more efficiently. It also reduces risk – from pre-construction to project sign-off, as errors can be spotted more easily with continuous monitoring.

Reality capture in the construction industry is fast becoming established as ‘digital by default’. It can be a differentiator in bids and project delivery by supporting stage sign-off, engaging stakeholders, improving records, saving time, and reducing risk. From pre-construction to project completion, reality capture can deliver better outcomes from contractors and clients.

Who we work with

ScanTech Digital has provided us with a great service over the previous 18 months. They captured images of the site as it developed including the extensive archaeology. We used their reality capture services to inform tendering at the start of the pandemic when contractors weren’t able to visit the site to inspect the works.

British Land

The artistic delivery and potential flexibility of adapting the technical outputs for marketing or visitor experience offerings was very alluring and what made the package of works enticing. The ScanTech team itself were all really lovely and professional, highly communicative, and understanding of working patterns and internal processes of the National Trust. Without hesitation, we would highly recommend working with Scantech Digital again and will be referring them throughout our organisation.

National Trust

We approached five different parties to quote. ScanTech offered a competitive price for a point cloud survey which resulted in a detailed set of 2D plans and a 3D Revit model. They also promised a far quicker turnaround than any other party. We instructed ScanTech without hesitation and were blown away by the results.

The level of detail and the accuracy you get with a ScanTech survey is fantastic and incredible value for money, we will be sure to use them again on our next job.

Claremont Property Group

We were absolutely thrilled with the virtual experiences produced by ScanTech Digital. They were so easy to work with during the scanning process and were completely understanding of our need to work around our opening times. The final product is fantastic and I would recommend ScanTech Digital wholeheartedly.

Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery

The Townscape Heritage project has worked with ScanTech Digital to create this unique experience, allowing people to access the building virtually whilst learning about the functions of a typical twentieth-century jewellery manufactory in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter.

We have also incorporated oral history interviews from former employees of Alabaster & Wilson which are part of our People’s Archive - they really help to bring the building to life! We are thrilled that this piece of Birmingham’s heritage has been captured in such detail so that it can be learnt from and enjoyed by future generations.
