Precise 3D surveys for successful projects
Precision is essential in construction. We use 3D laser scanners to capture every detail of existing structures, generating point clouds that can be used in software such as Archicad, Revit or AutoCAD. These surveys serve as a basis for creating floor plans, sections, elevations and BIM models, making it easier to plan and carry out renovation or construction projects.
The 3D surveys we produce also make it possible to maintain a complete digital archive of the buildingThis is useful for any future modifications or to document its condition at a given date. This technical documentation is often used as a reference for expert appraisals, insurance or administrative purposes. By integrating our data directly into your CAD/BIM software, you save precious modelling time and reduce the risk of errors associated with manual approximations. This precision is particularly appreciated in complex projects or when the structure includes elements that are difficult to access.
Our laser surveys are not limited to the creation of traditional plans. They can also be used to generate BIM digital mock-ups, which can be used directly to detect conflicts, track quantities or coordinate multiple trades. In Berne, we work with a large number of architects and engineers who want to use these collaborative tools to secure their design phase. BIM facilitates communication between stakeholders, reduces unforeseen events and saves time on the site. This technological integration represents real added value for your renovation or construction projects.
Services tailored to building professionals
3D Scan Bat offers a range of services to meet the needs of architects, property managers, general contractors and infrastructure managers:
- Lasergrammetry: ideal for facade surveys and complex outdoor layouts.
- 3D photogrammetry: suitable for small to medium-sized indoor spaces, offering fast, accurate results.
- 3D drone scanning: for access to difficult areas such as roofs and chimneys.
- BIM modelling: creation of detailed digital mock-ups for optimised planning.
- Virtual tours: offering an immersive view of the spaces thanks to 360° images.
Our virtual tours are not limited to simple visualisation: they can be enhanced with annotations, interactive measurements and links to technical documents. This interactive dimension makes it easier for the various parties involved to work together, even remotely, and reduces the need for unnecessary travel to the site. What's more, these tools provide an attractive presentation for end customers or investors, enabling them to easily project themselves onto the project. This is an asset for both communication and operational management.
A local presence for responsive service
We're based in Martigny, Switzerland, and we can respond rapidly throughout the Bern region, providing a local service for our customers. Our coverage also extends to the cantons of Geneva, Lausanne, Fribourg, Neuchâtel, Valais, Solothurn, Jura and Zurich, guaranteeing efficient assistance for all projects.
In addition to our technical services, we support our customers in the preparation of data to meet the requirements of building permits or calls for tender. We ensure that each file delivered is complete, legible and directly usable by your teams. This approach increases efficiency, avoids unnecessary round-trips and ensures a smooth transition between the survey phase and the design phase.
Integration into BIM processes in Bern
Our surveys are delivered in formats that are compatible with Archicad, Revit and AutoCAD, ensuring seamless integration into BIM workflows. This compatibility makes it possible to work in a collaborative environment where every change is instantly reflected throughout the project. In Bern, we support architects, engineers and general contractors in this digital transition. Thanks to our expertise, we ensure that the data captured on site becomes reliable, usable models adapted to each discipline. Adopting BIM with 3D Scan Bat means greater precision, coordination and efficiency at every stage of the project.
3D digitisation for heritage preservation
In Bern, a city rich in historic buildings, 3D digitisation is playing a key role in the conservation of architectural heritage. Our surveys accurately capture every detail of the facades, sculptures and ornamentation, ensuring accurate documentation for future restoration work. In the event of damage or loss, this data provides an invaluable reference base for faithfully restoring damaged elements. We work closely with heritage architects and local authorities to comply with regulatory constraints and preserve the authenticity of structures.
As part of our heritage projects in Berne, our 3D surveys play an essential role in the administrative process. Local authorities often require exhaustive and accurate documentation to approve work on protected buildings. Our point clouds and schematic plans provide this guarantee of reliability and enable any necessary adjustments to be anticipated. What's more, the digital preservation of data ensures the complete traceability of a building, from its initial state through to successive renovations. This approach helps to preserve the authenticity of Bern's heritage while meeting the most stringent technical and regulatory requirements.
Optimising costs and lead times with 3D scanning
Using 3D scanning for your projects in Bern can significantly reduce the costs associated with measurement errors, rework or multiple trips to site. By providing exhaustive data from the outset, we avoid the inaccuracies and omissions that can slow down a project. Visit BIM models generated can also be used to simulate different scenarios and anticipate constraints before work begins. This saves time and improves reliability, resulting in better planning and smoother execution, from initial survey to final delivery.
Applications for property and asset managers
Our 3D surveys also have a valuable application in the property management in Bern. Property managers use our plans and models to optimise the allocation of floor space, manage rental charges and plan renovations. The data supplied also helps to enhance the value of a property during a transaction, by providing clear, certified documentation. For asset managers, having a digital twin of a building facilitates maintenance, anticipation of works and regulatory compliance. This approach increases transparency between owners, tenants and investors, while reducing the financial risks associated with approximations.
Site supervision and quality control
La 3D scanning doesn't stop at the design phase. At Berne, we also provide our customers with regular site surveys. This method makes it possible to compare actual progress with the planned model and to detect any discrepancies quickly. Our surveys are an invaluable tool for documenting each stage, ensuring that decisions are secure and providing tangible evidence at coordination meetings. Quality control is strengthened, as is trust between the various parties involved in the project. With 3D Scan Bat, every project is monitored rigorously and transparently.
