Accurate documentation of a building before and after a loss is a strategic asset for insurance companies, surveyors and owners. Not only does it make it possible to have a complete inventoryThe aim is not only to preserve the value of the property, but also to reduce the number of disputes when it comes to compensation. Thanks to our 3D surveys and virtual toursEvery detail is preserved, providing an accurate, time-stamped view of what already exists. This approach guarantees total transparency and optimum traceability of repair or reconstruction work, while speeding up the decision-making process for all stakeholders.

Our Advanced Documentation Services

Matterport Virtual Tours

The virtual tours Matterport allows you to immerse yourself fully in the insured buildings. These visits are particularly useful in the event of a claim, as they provide much more detailed documentation than a simple photographic file. They enable experts to examine the damage in depth, making it easier to assess and settle claims.

In addition to their usefulness for post-claim appraisal, the Matterport virtual tours can be integrated into interactive insurance reports. These reports can be used to annotate the visit directly, point out specific areas of damage and add comments or attachments (photos, estimates, technical documents). This feature enhances collaboration between surveyors, insurers and policyholders, while reducing unnecessary on-site visits. As a result, files are more complete, better argued and quicker to validate, which contributes to the efficient resolution of claims and greater customer satisfaction.

Building survey using lasergrammetry

The lasergrammetric survey captures every detail of the building with millimetre precision. This process generates a colourised point cloud that can be archived for future use. In the event of a disaster, this precise data is essential for comparing the initial state with the post-disaster state, helping to determine the extent of the damage. What's more, this cloud of points can be decisive in the identical reconstruction of cultural assets or historic buildings, ensuring the preservation of our heritage.

A lasergrammetric survey is not just a measurement tool: it is a digital heritage archive. These records can be used to accurately recreate unique architectural elements, reproduce complex interior volumes or analyse how a building has changed over time. In the event of a claim, this precision makes it possible to document the smallest details and detect damage invisible to the naked eye. Combined with before-and-after comparisons, it becomes a powerful tool for objectively demonstrating the extent of losses and guiding the choice of repair, renovation or reconstruction.

Archiving and Use in the Event of a Disaster

All the files created, whether virtual tours or point clouds in e57 format, can be archived and used in the event of a claim. This advanced documentation method provides irrefutable proof of conditions before and after a claim, enabling claims to be managed more efficiently and quickly.

Irrefutable proof

In the event of a claim, a virtual visit is far more effective than a simple photographic file in providing evidence. Insurance companies can check the damage and the necessary repairs more accurately and in greater detail, guaranteeing fair and rapid compensation.

Applications in loss prevention

Our documentation tools are not limited to post-disaster management: they are also invaluable for prevention. A detailed digital report on a building allows you toidentify areas at risk upstreamsuch as potential infiltration, structural cracks or gradual deterioration. Visit virtual tours and 3D surveys also make it easier to plan preventive action, by providing managers and owners with a reliable basis for organising maintenance work. By reducing risks, this preventive approach helps to reduce the frequency and severity of claims, while optimising insurance costs.

Compatibility and use of data

The files delivered by 3D Scan Bat are supplied in standard market formats (IFC, e57, DWG, PDF), guaranteeing their compatibility with the software used by insurance companies, surveyors and architects. This interoperability makes it possible to seamless integration into internal processesWhether for technical analysis, document management or site planning.
