Benefits of a
3D Contour Survey

Did you know Detail Surveys and Contour Surveys can be done in 3D?

Completing a 3D (As-Built) Survey provides a higher level of accuracy when compared with those as created based on site plans alone.

C&A As-built 3D Surveys are able to capture significantly higher levels of detail, and therefore, accuracy regarding all aspects of an existing site. By choosing C&A to develop your 3D Survey, you will receive a highly accurate model of the site context and all of its’ surroundings, in a timely manner.

When compared with a traditional 2D survey, there is only a marginal increase in price, which this alone makes our 3D Surveys well worth the investment.

All our surveys use the latest in 3D laser scanning and BIM modelling technology, facilitating the rapid development of highly-accurate site plans, over what traditional 2D methods could ever achieve.

What Is A 3D Survey?

3D Surveys take the guess work out of a project or specific site. They produce accurate and detailed measurements of all objects found within the surveyed space. Want to see a 3D Survey? Check out our Interactive 3D Models!

3D Surveys Provide Higher Accuracy

With a 3D Survey we are able to deliver site information, such as boundary offsets, vegetation and existing buildings, with far greater accuracy, which will be supplied directly to an architect or builder, in multiple file formats.

Key Benefits of 3D over 2D

Conducting a 3D Survey ensures that the architect is not required to manually measure a site, or generate a 3D representation of the site in house prior to developing a new design concept. Rather, this frees up precious time to begin working on the project immediately.

Why Should You Choose A 3D Survey Over A Traditional 2D Survey?

3D Survey

Completing a Detailed Survey in 3D takes the guess work out of a project or specific site. This is in regards to accurate and detailed measurements of all objects found within a surveyed space. C&A Surveyors is able to deliver site information, such as boundary offsets, with far greater accuracy, which will be supplied directly to the architect. This means the architect doesn’t need to manually measure a site, or manually generate a 3D representation of the site themselves, in their architectural software.

Instead, they are supplied with a 3D model in various formats to suit all regularly used 3D design/ BIM software, along with all of the traditional 2D survey files that they would usually receive. This greatly reduces the architects modelling set-up time, saving them time, and you the customer money. This is all achieved, whilst ensuring a more accurate final output model to begin designing with, which has been built upon a highly-accurate initial data set.

Our 3D scanners can record 300,000 points per second, for higher levels of detail, fidelity, and accuracy in the data we collect. Our in-house modelling team is then able to create a highly accurate 3D model by assigning each individual point with an easting, a northing and an elevation, which is equivalent to an X, Y and Z coordinate in 3D modelling software. Each of these points allow our team to then model in place, all of the other elements, structures and features of each site we survey.

The entire 3D Survey, and 3D modelling process is conducted In-house, ensuring that only the best quality is delivered to our clients. This includes the; scanning, data processing, 3D modelling, documentation drafting, and Quality Assurance procedures, which are implemented for every project.

Our 3D Surveying Services

Detail And Level Survey

A detail and level survey (also known as a contour survey) is the starting point of any design process. This survey picks up all existing features including trees, adjoining neighbours, visible services, easements and takes levels over the land. This survey also determines the location of the property boundaries and the existing buildings in relation to them.

Now consider it being done as a 3D Survey, it will give you far greater detail and accuracy when compared to traditional 2D versions!

BIM 3D Laser Scanning

Our 3D Surveys feature detailed 3D Modelling conducted by a professional grade, Trimble Laser Scanner. This ensure only the most accurate collection of data points to form a 'Point cloud', which is the basis of our entire 3D Surveys. Generally these types of models are used for Conceptual design, Building shadow analysis, Conceptual cost estimation, Conceptual gross area plans, Major large object coordination, basic design, Allows simple 3D understanding of site conditions and Energy calculation estimates

Detail and Level Identification Survey

A detail and level/identification survey picks up all existing features including trees, adjoining neighbour properties, visible services, and easements and takes levels over the land. In addition to this, the surveyor determines the location of the property boundaries and the existing buildings in relation to them.

Not getting enough details with a 2D Survey? Get it in 3D and see the difference! We can also utilise our drones to give you a clear picture of neighbouring structures, and any other services or features which are above your traditional line-of-site from the ground.
