Scanning & BIM
At GMC Surveying, we bring cutting-edge scanning and BIM solutions to the forefront of construction, infrastructure, and industrial projects, delivering the spatial accuracy and digital models that modern design and construction demand.
Using high-resolution laser scanners, UAV photogrammetry, and mobile mapping systems, our survey teams capture comprehensive 3D spatial data of existing conditions with millimetre precision. This data forms the foundation for accurate, information-rich BIM models, enabling architects, engineers, and project managers to design, coordinate, and deliver with confidence.
Whether supporting complex plant upgrades, detailed as-built documentation, or clash detection in tight construction environments, our expertise ensures your models reflect reality. We work seamlessly across the full BIM lifecycle, from scan-to-model through to construction validation and digital handover, backed by a commitment to a practical, responsive service.
At GMC, we don’t just provide data—we deliver geospatial insight that drives efficiency, reduces rework, and supports smarter asset management. With scanning and BIM, our clients see the whole picture, accurately, and from day one.
Capabilities Overview
+ 3D Laser Scanning
High-accuracy capture of built and environments to output a dense point cloud for As-builts, deformation monitoring and detailed topography.
+ Topographic & Feature Surveys for BIM Integration
Ground-based survey data for civil/infrastructure BIM models, providing TINs, contours and features for roadworks, drainage design, urban development.
+ Scan-to-BIM Modelling
Convert point cloud data into 3D parametric BIM models (LOD 100–400), output to leading authoring software for existing conditions modelling, retrofits and renovations.
+ Digital Twin Foundations
Providing spatial data infrastructure for digital twins, output to high-accuracy BIM base models with metadata for smart infrastructure, FM systems.
+ Construction Verification & Clash Detection
Comparing as-built scan data to design models to create non conformance and clash detection reports for progress tracking and early detection.
+ BIM Coordination & Integration Services
Support with integrating scan-derived BIM models into
multi-disciplinary designs for federated models & clash detection setups in collaborative design environments.
Using industry-leading terrestrial laser scanners and UAV, we capture high-resolution spatial data to create detailed 3D point clouds of built and natural environments.
