Laser Scanning is the process of capturing real time data of buildings, structures, sites and infrastructure. The process results in the capture of millions of precise 3D points, which combine to form a point cloud, which in turn represent the surveyed building, surface or structure.

Our team at McDonald Surveys can provide our clients with registered, precise point cloud data, which can then be used in 3D Building Information Modelling.

Laser Scanning is a rapid process, collecting a large quantity of data in a short space of time. Additional benefits include remote data collection of hazardous sites such as motorways, railways & structurally unsafe buildings.
