Planning and Design for a House Extension
Extending your home requires meticulous planning. Renovating attic space, building a conservatory or adding living space all require precise surveys. Our expertise focuses on creating accurate surveys. We do not carry out the preliminary planning or complete projects. We work with architects and private individuals when they need detailed plans to get their projects off the ground.
We use latest-generation 3D laser scanners capable of capturing millions of points in just a few minutes, creating an extremely dense point cloud. This precision is crucial for identifying any irregularities in the walls, floors or roof, which could have an impact on the design of your extension. Our surveys also facilitate the integration of the existing structure into CAD or BIM software, enabling the architect to work with a reliable digital base that can be used directly in the design phase.
Advantages of working with 3D Scan Bat
Increased accuracy Our statements by 3D laser scanner offer millimetre precision. This is essential for complex extensions.
Speed of execution : Able to digitise buildings in just a few hours. Our technology speeds up the preliminary phase of any project.
Advanced visualisation : Thanks to 2D architectural plans or 3D modelsYou'll have a clear view of the expansion possibilities.
This visualisation is not just aesthetic: it also allows you to test different expansion scenarios before making any final decisions. Whether you're planning a modern glazed extension or a more traditional extension, the 3D models allow you to check how the building fits into its surroundings, its architectural coherence and even its impact on interior light levels. Our customers particularly appreciate this phase, as it makes the project more concrete and makes it easier to choose between several variants, while anticipating any comments from the authorities when planning permission is submitted.
Customised service : We tailor our services to each project, easing the transition to the construction phases.
Integrating surveys into the BIM process
Our statements are delivered in formats compatible with the main BIM software (Building Information Modeling), such as Revit or Archicad. This enables your architect to work in a collaborative environment where every modification is instantly reflected throughout the project. This integration makes it much easier to track quantities, detect conflicts and coordinate with other trades. For extension projects, BIM offers a global and coherent vision, reducing the risk of errors and optimising site management.

When you choose 3D Scan Bat, you're choosing a partner who understands the importance of providing a solid foundation. We specialise in surveys and plans of existing conditions. We're ideal for providing the documents needed for planning.
Expertise tailored to local Swiss constraints
In Switzerland, every extension project must take into account the following factors local, cantonal and sometimes even regional specificities in terms of town planning. Our surveys include all the information you need to help your architect prepare your application: footprint, regulatory distances, maximum authorised height and existing volumes. We know that documentary accuracy is essential to avoid having to go back and forth with the authorities. Thanks to our experience in the field, we can anticipate regulatory constraints so that your extension project runs smoothly without any administrative hiccups.
