Measured Building Surveys – Happy Halloween allow 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 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.  With such good coverage the CAD team can accurately draw and model all areas of the building.

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.

“Spooky” Scenes From Previous Measured Building Surveys

The following scenes are snapshots from the point clouds that the scan team at M3S has captured this year…. with a little bit of “Photoshop” to help out!!

A haunting rural scene at a measured building survey with topo earlier this year a short drive outside Krakow. #MeasuredSurvey #LaserScanning #Topo #Halloween

Down in the deep, dark basements of an abandoned building in Eastern Europe for a scan to Revit model. Cyclone Core didnt quite manage to clean out the ghosts. #Haunted #Scan2BIM #CycloneCore #EveryDetailMatters

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

Registration Tutorials For Leica Cyclone

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:

Polish Version Of This Blog Post – “nwentaryzacje architektoniczno budowlane”

Well 2021 so far has been busy, carried on from the busy end of 2020 in to 2021 with plenty of laser scanning in the UK and Poland.  The last 12 months with Covid have been a real roller coaster but thankfully due to the nature of many surveys taking place either out doors or in empty buildings many jobs have still managed to continue.  At M3S Surveys we are seeing an increase in demmand for laser scanning on smaller sites such as residential proprties that require detailed elevations, cross sections along with floor plans. All of our clients also recieve TruViews in the LGS format to allow them to view each scan station which can be shared with all the professional services involved in the project. One other advantage of the TruView LGS Viewer is that IFC can be load in and viewed against the point cloud.

Laser Scanning – TruView LGS Point Cloud Viewer & IFC File

Surveying Tools & Deliverable Files

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.
