3D Laser Scanning / Point Cloud Surveys

This is not a photograph.

It's a single 3D Laser Scan of a building interior under construction (that's the elevator bank on the left). Every point is a distinct, millimeter accurate measurement containing xyz coordinates and rgb color values. The point cloud can be opened to-scale in AutoCAD, Revit and Navisworks.

The Future of As-Built Documentation

Extreme Measures is the first company of its kind to bring 3D laser scanning directly to architects, civil engineers and progressive-thinking real estate professionals. 3D laser scanning produces highly accurate and richly detailed computer models of the scanner's immediate environment.

How it Works

Our next-generation scanners are capable of non-contact, 400 foot dome scans, retrieving hundreds of thousands of points per second. Every point is a distinct, millimeter-accurate xyz measurement shot in full colour. Viewed collectively, these points constitute a photo-realistic "point cloud" that can be navigated much like a first-person video game. Applied to architecture, a point cloud is nothing short of a dimensionally-correct, digital reproduction of the building itself.

Scanned point clouds can be referenced over and over again for a myriad of practical uses, including the generation of floor plans, site plans, elevations, ceiling plans, mechanical layouts, inventories of any kind, and full 3D BIM (building information models). This has exciting implications for architects, engineers, builders, installers and facility managers who often require a high degree of accuracy and detail, but lack the tools, staff, and time needed to achieve such results.

Available Today

Our 3D laser scanning service is available now. Our goal is to make 3D laser scanning accessible to real estate professionals, architects and engineers. Consider 3D laser scanning for:

Not Just Architecture

3D laser scanning has interesting applications in archaeology, historical restoration, construction, reverse-engineering, manufacturing, mining, forensics and accident reconstruction, to name a few. If you think 3D laser scanning could be a good fit for your application, let's talk.
