6 3D LASER SCANNING / DATA CAPTURE A more efficient method of capturing existing structures in full 3D. Accurate plans and building information are an essential part of any new build or refurbishment project, but there are times when limited information is available on the existing building or site, such as heritage buildings. 3D Laser Scanning creates an incredibly accurate (within 2mm) computer model of your site by taking millions of Highlights: Laser Scanning is ideally suited to new build or refit projects: points of data. By linking these measurements together, this point cloud can then be used to recreate the physical environment in 3D space. Laser Scanning is perfect for internal and external contextual scans, heritage surveys, site planning, creating animated fly-throughs, reverse engineering, clash detection and as-built verification. Capture building information in hours, not days Save time and money Work with highly accurate 3D data Provides contextual setting Less ambiguity in data Safe Data Capture Reduction in number of site visits Project Tendering / BIM Delivery Building Extensions Pre-Construction Site Survey Refurbishment/Renovation Project On-site monitoring of construction build Post-Construction Model Verification 7

10 COMPUTER GENERATED IMAGES / CGI s 3D Visualisation creates photo-realistic images of your project that accurately depict the design intent. CGI s have become essential tools in both the design and planning process and are a key ingredient of effective marketing campaigns, bids and tenders. Your 2D CAD drawings, sketches or your 3D BIM Models are transformed into accurate photo-realistic visualisations, which are remarkably lifelike and engage with the target audience and communicate design with accuracy. We can create the location from scratch or use existing You might need: photography and overlay it with your proposal. We can add texture and light to your designs, and by accurately aligning the site with North we can illustrate accurate solar phasing. We believe that high-quality 3D Visualisations should not be expensive. Whilst 3D images are timely to produce in-house, our team can meet your 3D needs with efficiency and panache. Projects are modelled to exact scale to give a truly 3D realistic experience.

14 AUGMENTED REALITY AR lays computer-generated rendered images, animations, text and even sound onto real-world images in real time. Point your tablet or smart phone at a QR code and visualise your completed project in reality, to scale and far more realistically than 3D images on traditional design software. Augmented Reality allows you to walk around the project and view it in context to its vicinity and surroundings. Augmented Reality refers to the process of laying computer-generated rendered images (CGI s), animations, text and even sound onto real-world images in real time. Using the same tablet or smartphone enter a virtual reality computer simulated environment that can simulate the real or imagined worlds. Virtual Reality puts you in control with a 360 degree view of your design. This application can also be used to illustrate the positioning of plumbing and ventilation systems behind walls and plumbing. Scan this QR code to see our Augmented Reality introduction video. 15

16 VIRTUAL REALITY VR creates an artificial environment which immerses the user. The user can navigate through the space which reacts to the user as they explore and interactive with it, just like it s a real environment. Rather than looking at a scale model, imagine wowing your client by walking them through your proposed project. From your projects design files we create a 3D, computer generated environment. Using an ipad, glasses or an immersive tent to display the 3D images, the user becomes part of this Virtual Environment and can explore their surroundings. This is an incredible way for you and your clients to view your latest project or proposal, just as if they were standing inside a scale model. Adding in other controls like a data-glove or control-wand allows you to perform actions whilst inside the virtual world. 17
