Customised 2D Plans for Architects
We understand that every project is unique. Our 2D plans are meticulously crafted to meet the specific requirements of each project, ensuring that all architectural nuances are correctly represented and integrated into the overall project planning.
3D Models and BIM Models for Optimal Visualisation
Architectural practices benefit from our 3D models and BIM models, which provide a detailed visualisation of projects before they are built. These tools are becoming crucial for collaboration, enabling Lausanne architects to coordinate more effectively with engineers, builders and other stakeholders.
The BIM models we produce are not limited to a simple visual representation: they include precise data on each component of the buildingfrom the dimensions to the materials used. This wealth of information enables architects to simulate different layout options, assess the impact of modifications before they are implemented and detect any technical interference. Our 3D models are perfectly integrated into collaborative workflows, facilitating communication between teams and optimising resource management, resulting in time savings and better cost control.
Our BIM models can also be used to anticipate regulatory compliance. By integrating technical and dimensional data directly into the model, it becomes possible to simulate different scenarios and quickly check their feasibility in relation to cantonal requirements. This upstream analysis capability reduces the need for late modifications and additional costs. Lausanne's architectural offices thus have a versatile tool that combines the precision of the initial survey with the flexibility of digital design. The result: projects that run more smoothly, are better documented and perfectly aligned with the expectations of the authorities and end customers.
Integrating 3D Surveys into Renovation Projects
In Lausanne, many projects involve old buildings, where every detail must be respected. Our 3D laser surveys provide an accurate basis for documenting the existing situation and detecting structural constraints before any work is carried out. This data is essential for architects wishing to preserve a building's heritage identity while incorporating modern solutions. The plans and models produced by our surveys make it possible to compare the state before and after renovation, to anticipate any possible interference and to ensure perfect consistency between design, execution and heritage conservation.
Outsourcing BIM Solutions
Outsourcing BIM modelling and 3D scanning offers greater flexibility and efficiency for architectural practices, allowing them to focus on creative design while relying on our accurate and detailed data for project planning and execution.
Optimised management of resources and deadlines
The use of 3D scanning and BIM models is giving Lausanne's architectural offices greater control over their resources. By having exhaustive and accurate data at their disposal from the outset, the teams are able to reduce site visits, limit costly rework and anticipate technical constraints. This anticipation translates into better planning of deadlines and more efficient allocation of budgets. Architects can therefore focus their energy on design and creativity, while relying on reliable information to ensure the success and fluidity of the entire architectural project.
Benefits of working with our team
- Measurement accuracy: Using our expertise in 3D scanning guarantees accurate measurements, eliminating costly errors due to the approximations of manual surveys.
- Cost and time optimisation: Our automated scanning and modelling processes reduce errors, speed up the project and guarantee exceptional quality.
- Improved collaboration: Our BIM models facilitate communication and coordination between all stakeholders, improving project efficiency.
For each mission, we use high-performance laser scanners capable of capturing millions of points in just a few minutes, forming a dense, precise point cloud. This three-dimensional database can be used to quickly generate plan views, sections and elevations, while maintaining millimetre-level accuracy. Our surveys take into account the real constraints of the building, including structural deformations or elements that are difficult to measure manually. This methodology guarantees Lausanne architects complete and accurate documentation, reducing the risk of errors during the design or execution phase.
Software Compatibility and Deliverable Formats
We deliver our files in the formats most commonly used by architectural offices, such as DWG, DXF, RVT or IFC, for seamless integration into your working software. Our data is optimised to avoid files that are too large, while preserving the precision required for your projects. This cross-platform compatibility allows you to collaborate effectively with your partners, whether they use Archicad, Revit, AutoCAD or other BIM solutions. We can also adapt our exports to your internal standards, to reduce preparation time and speed up the design phase.
Durability and usability of data
Another key advantage is the durability of our data. By delivering files in standard formats We use universally recognised formats (DWG, IFC, E57, PDF) to ensure long-term operation, even if there is a change of software or service provider. This continuity is particularly important for large-scale projects or renovations spread over several years. Architects in Lausanne can count on documentation that is always legible and compliant, with no risk of obsolescence. This also makes it easier to pass on information between generations of architects or when selling or transferring property.
With 3D Scan Bat, the surveys and models delivered are not limited to a one-off use. Each file is designed to remain usable over the long term, even several years after the end of a project. This durability of documentation is a major advantage for Lausanne's architectural offices, which can re-use the data for future renovations, extensions or additional studies. By choosing standard formats such as DWG, IFC or RVT, we guarantee lasting compatibility with your software tools, while ensuring technical continuity that is adapted to changing architectural needs.
