Asbestos diagnosis and 3D building survey: a joint approach for your property projects
For any renovation, sale or energy refurbishment project, asbestos diagnosis is an essential step. At 3D Scan Bat, we integrate this analysis into a global approach to digitising buildingscombining 3D survey and technical diagnostics in order to offer our customers a reliable, comprehensive database that can be exploited over the long term.

⏱️Résumé in 20 seconds
3D survey and asbestos diagnosis often go hand in hand: the first provides an accurate picture of the existing situation, while the second identifies materials at risk. Together, they can prepare your renovation, retrofit or CECB refurbishment projects in the best possible conditions.
Why combine 3D surveying with asbestos diagnosis?
When a asbestos diagnosis is required - whether prior to building work, for a sale or as part of a comprehensive audit - it is it is essential to locate potentially asbestos-contaminated materials precisely in the building. Visit 3D surveyUsing laser scanning, we can :
Document the exact layout of the materials (ducts, false ceilings, partitions, flockings, etc.)
Identify complex or dangerous access areasfor better planning of direct debits
Create a precise location support for the asbestos report or the DTA
A concrete example For example, during a building survey for a condominium, we provided the diagnosticians with a complete floor plan, making it easier to locate suspect materials and draw up the report.

A useful synergy for the CECB and pre-works procedures
Le asbestos diagnosisjust like the CECB certificateis one of the legal obligations or recommendations as part of :
sales of buildings constructed before 1991
renovations affecting the envelope or interior materials
compliance or remediation projects
Our 3D surveys enable :
from cross-referencing information between energy surveys and asbestos risks
supply CECB plans with reliable geometry
from precisely locate the materials concernedvia a 3D models or annotated plans
What we deliver
Depending on the diagnostic requirements, we provide :
Floor plans, sections and façades in DWG/PDF format
A 3D model of the building (IFC or Archicad format)
From annotatable orthophotos to help locate asbestos-contaminated materials
A virtual visit Atis-Cloud (optional), ideal for remote tracking
For whom is this service relevant?
Property managers for diagnosis prior to sale or works
Architectural firms Asbestos: integrating asbestos data into renovation planning
Diagnostic offices for an accurate, localised background map
CECB experts combining energy surveys and asbestos detection on a single basis

Outlook for development
We are also working on geolocation solutions for hazardous materials in the 3D model (via IFC tags or annotations), to integrate asbestos diagnosis into the heart of your digital twin.
Ultimately, this will facilitate the traceability of materials, the planning of asbestos removal and the ongoing documentation of the building.
When should an asbestos diagnosis be carried out?
As soon as a building constructed before 1991 is sold or work is carried out that could affect the structure or cladding.
Is a 3D survey compulsory for an asbestos diagnosis?
No, but he for greater precision and safetyespecially in complex or old buildings.
Can the plans be used for several purposes (asbestos, CECB, renovation)?
Yes, our deliverables are can be shared between diagnosticians, technical offices and architects.
How much does a 3D asbestos survey cost?
From CHF 1'800.00 depending on the size of the building. A combined package with plans and 3D model is available.
