Each scan is dated and measured, and the files can be kept in the project record after the job is finished.
Before demolition or excavation
A walk-through record of neighbouring houses, fences, driveways and footpaths. If a neighbour reports a new crack, the scan shows whether it was already there.
Why it matters: evidence of pre-existing defects when a damage claim arrives.
After rough-in, before lining
Every pipe, cable, duct and nogging recorded in place, with measurements, so later trades and owners can find services without cutting into walls.
Why it matters: fewer exploratory cuts for fixings, leaks and renovations.
At agreed stages
Owners, lenders and investors who are not on site walk through the build and see the same stage the supervisor sees.
Why it matters: fewer site visits, and a dated record of what was done when.
At practical completion
A complete record of the finished building and its condition, delivered with the handover documents.
Why it matters: a reference point for defect and warranty questions after handover.
Deliverables are listed in each quote. A construction scan typically includes the following.
Stages can be booked together for one project, from dilapidation through to handover. The quote lists each visit, what is captured and when, so scans are scheduled around the build programme.
Every visit is booked through the site supervisor and follows the site's own induction and safety rules.
Scans of neighbouring properties are arranged with the owner's or tenant's consent before the visit. Faces and number plates caught in shot are blurred before delivery.
A scan is a visual, measured record. It does not replace professional reports.
Anything not covered here can go in the enquiry form below.
No. A formal dilapidation report is prepared by a qualified inspector or engineer. A 3D scan is a visual, measured record that supports the report and shows the condition of every room and surface on the day.
Most single dwellings take one to two hours on site, depending on size and access.
Yes, as long as the area being scanned can be kept clear for a few minutes at a time. Each visit is arranged with the site supervisor.
Measurements taken in the tour are suitable for planning, coordination and records. Set-out and boundary work still needs a registered surveyor.
Yes, with the consent of the owner or tenant, arranged before the visit. Faces and number plates caught in shot are blurred before delivery.
Access to each tour is set by the builder. A link can be shared with owners, certifiers and trades, or kept private to the project team.
