Photorealistic 3D drone model of an industrial building and surrounding infrastructure

From Point Cloud to Digital Twin

3D models built from drone data bridge the gap between the physical world and your digital design environment.

Textured 3D Meshes

We build photorealistic 3D mesh models where high-resolution drone photography is draped over accurate geometry. Walk through your site virtually, inspect conditions from any angle, and share with stakeholders who don't read plans.

Colourized Point Clouds

Dense, colourized point clouds from LiDAR or photogrammetry that preserve every detail of your site in 3D. Millions of georeferenced points ready for measurement, analysis, and import into BIM platforms.

BIM Integration

We export point clouds and surfaces in formats compatible with Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, Bentley, and other BIM platforms. Scan-to-BIM workflows let your design team build accurate models on top of real-world conditions.

Progress Monitoring

Capture 3D snapshots at regular intervals to compare as-built conditions against your BIM design model. AI-driven clash detection and automated progress tracking keep projects on schedule and within tolerance — flagging deviations the moment they appear.

Where 3D Models & BIM Add Value

Construction

As-built verification, progress documentation, clash detection against design models, and visual communication with owners and stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.

Architecture & Design

Existing-condition models for renovation, addition, and adaptive reuse projects. Capture the full 3D context of a building and its surroundings before design begins.

Heritage & Cultural

Detailed 3D documentation of heritage buildings, archaeological sites, and cultural landscapes. Preserve structures digitally for future generations, restoration planning, or public engagement.

Mining & Industrial

3D models of pit geometry, processing infrastructure, and surface facilities for mine planning, expansion design, and closure documentation.

3D Modeling & BIM FAQ

What's the difference between a 3D model and BIM?

A 3D model is a visual representation of geometry and appearance — it shows what something looks like in three dimensions. BIM (Building Information Modeling) adds intelligence to that geometry: every element has data attached to it — material type, dimensions, manufacturer, cost, schedule. We provide the 3D reality capture (point clouds and meshes) that serves as the foundation for BIM modeling. Your design team or BIM modeler then builds the information-rich model on top of our data.

Can I view the 3D model without special software?

Yes. We can provide interactive web-based 3D viewers that work in any modern browser — no software installation required. These viewers let stakeholders, owners, and non-technical team members explore the model, take measurements, and add annotations. We also deliver 3D PDFs for easy sharing.

How does drone 3D scanning compare to terrestrial laser scanning?

Drone 3D scanning excels at capturing large sites, rooftops, and areas that are difficult to access from the ground. Terrestrial scanners capture finer interior detail and underside geometry. For many projects, the best results come from combining both — drone data for the overall site and exterior, terrestrial scans for interior spaces and close-range detail. We can advise on the right combination for your project.
