Measured Building Surveys Poland – our scanning teams to access some rather interesting and spooky places. With basements, attics to abandoned factories the team at M3S have all enjoyed exploring these areas while scanning to allow for a complete survey to aid the creation of plans and models.

Measured Building Surveying in Poland Using Laser Scanning

M3S use both a Leica RTC360 and Leica P40 laser scanner to capture the as built conditions on site. These scanners can capture data at rates of up to 2 million points per second on the RTC and up to 1 million points per second on the P40. To allow for a complete survey the team are often in basements, attics, abandoned buildings etc.  The high quality data collected allows the team to create 3D models, floor plans, elevations and cross sections. As well as extracting topographical data on suitable sites.

Captured Data LIDAR From Measured Surveys  – Cyclone Register 360 / Cyclone Core

Once the data has been captured on site, the data is imported to Leica Cyclone.  If the RTC360 has been used with VIS is gets imported to Register 360 for an initial registration before being imported to Cyclone Core where full registration and further QC takes place. Once the registration, quality control and any additional survey control is added the registration is locked and the data exported to allow it to carry on to the production stage of the project.

Previous Measured Building Surveys

Our team has an office in Krakow with regular laser scanning in the city as well as further cities incluing Warsaw, Katowice, Wroclaw, Poznan, Lodz and Lublin.

Our Scan Team were not so lucky when they surveyed this former factory – we have enough scan data for the crime scene team to investigate. #CrimeScene #Halloween2021 #EveryDetailMatters #JasonVoorhees #RTC360

M3S Surveys have been involved in carrying out measured surveys in Poland over the last 5 years. These range from residential property, hotels to large historical sites in cities including Kraków, Warsaw, Gdańsk, Katowice, Wrocław, Łódź and Kielce plus many smaller towns and rural areas. Our primary method of survey is via laser scanning. This allows the team to collect large amounts of data to create a point cloud. From the point cloud the M3S team can create measured survey drawings and 3D models. Our measured surveys include floor plans, elevations, cross sections and Revit models. Our team that is located in Poland can be on site within short notice. (*Our site is also available in Polish: Polish Language Website – https://www.m3s-surveys.com/pl/strona-glowna/  )

Our clients in Poland and the UK clients also receive TruViews via the Leica LGS format – these can viewed with a free piece of software from Leica Geosystems called TruView Viewer (PC only).  This allows each scan station on site to be visited from your desktop, mark up and take measurements along with the ability to insert an IFC file within the LGS point cloud version of the export. A basic example of this can be viewed in the following video:

Over the last year the M3S Surveys Ltd team have been involved in several Survey For Renovation Projects – Engineers, Planning Consultant, Interior Designer, Quantity Surveyor & Architect. The majority of the sites have been large homes and outbuildings, all in various different conditions and states of repair.  Using a wide range of the latest technologies including laser scanners, total station, GNSS, cameras and UAV we are able to capture the as built conditions on site. This allows the team to then create a range products the client can use themself, share with their engineer, planning consultant, architect and interior designer. Our Survey For Renovation Projects – Engineers, Planning Consultant, Interior Designer, Quantity Surveyor & Architect , allow the data to be captured safely and quickly on site with the various products being delivered and shared with various professional services.  The LGS TruView has continued to prove very popular allowing anyone with a PC to install free to use software called Leica JetStream Viewer. This software then allows the LGS file to be attached and you can navigate through each scan station and take measurements and mark up areas.

Survey For Renovation Projects – Services & Products

Laser Scanning  – fast, accurate collection of all the visible points that is registered together to create a point cloud of your project.

Photography – we can capture standard high resolution imagery and a range of 360 images depending on the job specification.

UAV Photography – our partners in the UK & Poland are fully liscenced and insured to fly. The M3S team have years of experience on UAV projects including flying fixed wing and processing data.

Photogrammetry – the imagery captured with the UAV and terrestrial photography can be merged in specialist software and combined with laser scan data  and/or points surveyed using a total station for scale to produce high resolution ortho photos and models.

Land Surveying – survey control and topographical data captured.

2D & 3D Drawings – supply both 2D and 3D drawings and topos.

3D Revit Model – 3D model of as built conditions in various formats including Revit.

The team at M3S Surveys Ltd would like to wish all clients, friends and family a Happy New Year. Let’s hope for a far better 2021!  With so many problems and hurdles caused with Covid 19, from travel bans, countries closed, businesses on furlough and others closed for good we have managed to battle through the year.

We have managed to carry on with our laser scanning & surveying through out 2020 delivering a range of products including point clouds, TrueView’s, 2D CAD drawings (elevations, cross sections, floor plans etc), 3D models (Revit), Topos and photogrammetry.

The range of industries we are now carrying out laser scanning has expanded further. This now includes engineers, planning consultants, architects, engineers, fabricators – all offering a range of services within the built environment, heritage, construction, food production, water and oil & gas.

Two of the main advantages our clients have found is the speed we can accurately survey with laser scanning (minimal to zero interruption to business, even less out of hours!) and the ability to re-visit the site through Leica Jet Stream Viewer on their desk top.

Here are a few images of some of the work we have been carrying out:

Earlier in September M3S Surveys Ltd were on the road to the sunny South coast of England to carry out a measured building survey Worthing, West Sussex using laser scanning and photogrammetry on a historic building. The point cloud data was also being used to aid a topo survey.  Photogrammetry was used to create high resolution ortho images.

At M3S Surveys Ltd the team has years of experience carrying out measured building and topographical surveys for planning applications. From small dwellings, country manors, University campuses to historical buildings.

From the survey data collected our team can produce a wide range of digital products that can aid not only your planning application but the entire design phase. M3S Surveys Ltd most popular products for planning is a topographical survey and building elevations. Although for larger buildings and sites with existing property a full measured survey with 3D Revit model is often also required. The team also have vast experience with heritage sites where listed buildings often require a higher detail of survey, including photogrammetry and detailed drawings to Historic England specification.

If you have been in the unfortunate position to have a planning application refused as a result of not submitting the relevant survey related plans then please get in touch and we can quote you for a suitable survey. Should it be a more complex planning matter and your site is based in Scotland, M3S Surveys Ltd can recommend Planning Objections Scotland and InterUrban Developments Ltd.
