3D Scanning for Construction and Renovations
Trades add safety margins to every quote when they have to guess measurements. Give them a millimetre-accurate 3D model instead, so they quote on facts, not estimates.
Eliminate the Guesswork That Blows Out Budgets
Every renovation has a hidden cost layer: the “buffer” pricing trades add when they are working from manual sketches and memory. A millimetre-accurate 3D model strips that layer out. Your builder can measure ceiling heights and check plumbing access from their ute. Your architect gets a precise base plan without a second site visit. Your cabinetmaker confirms dimensions before cutting a single panel.
But the real value is what happens after the walls go up. Plaster gets sealed, and suddenly nobody can agree where the pipes run or whether the electrician hit the right stud. A 3D scan taken at the frame stage records every rough-in permanently. When a client disputes a location six months later, you pull up the scan instead of pulling off the plasterboard.
Every scan includes a 2D schematic floorplan that translates your 3D data into a professional, easy-to-read layout. Share the 3D link with as many trades as you need. They can measure, quote, and plan remotely, cutting weeks of back-and-forth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Construction and Renovation 3D Scanning FAQs
Everything you need to know before booking a construction or renovation scan.
How accurate are the 3D scans?
Our LiDAR equipment capture measurements with within 1% accuracy. We currently use Matterport Pro 2 and Pro 3 hardware, with the flexibility to deploy the best scanning technology for each project. You can measure distances, ceiling heights, and openings directly within the 3D model.
Will my builder actually use this?
Yes. Builders prefer working from scan data because it saves them time too. They can check plumbing access, measure ceiling heights, and quote accurately without driving to your property. We have heard from clients that their builder called it “the best set of plans he ever started a job with.”
Can I take measurements from the scan remotely?
Yes. Measurement Mode lets anyone with the link pull accurate dimensions from the 3D model without returning to site. All you need is a browser.
When is the best time to scan a construction site?
Most builders book two scans: one at the frame stage (to record rough-ins before walls are sealed) and one at practical completion. Frame-stage scans are the highest-value capture point for avoiding disputes later.
What is the difference between the $299 and $499 packages?
The DIY Renovator package ($299) includes the 3D model, 2D floorplan, online sharing, and next-day delivery. The Architect-Ready package ($499) adds a .E57 master file that architects and draftspersons can import directly into professional CAD software.
What do I receive after the scan?
You get a fully navigable 3D model with Dollhouse View to spot layout errors before work begins, Measurement Mode for remote dimensions, and a 2D schematic floorplan. Assets are delivered next business day.
Can I share the scan with trades, engineers, or clients?
Yes. Every scan gets a shareable link. Send it to as many builders, architects, or tradespeople as you need. They can measure and quote your job remotely without a site visit.
Do you scan multi-storey sites?
Yes. Multi-storey scans are captured floor by floor and stitched into a single navigable model with the Dollhouse View showing all levels.
