Geomatics & 3D Services

We deliver precise and comprehensive solutions for projects of any scale.

Capturing reality. Taking the built environment into a new dimension.

Accuracy is crucial for you, so we approach every project meticulously, giving it the attention it needs to make sure you get the right results.

With cutting edge technology – such as 3D terrestrial scanners and 360 photography at our fingertips – our RICS-accredited experts capture spatial data with statistical accuracy that’s correct to 0.2%.

We work closely with you to understand your needs, drawing on the expertise of the wider CBRE team – from valuation experts to retail specialists – to deepen our understanding of what you want to achieve.

Our measured surveys contain more detail and more information. They can be used as the basis for architectural design in the form of sections, elevations and floor plans, as well as data for Building Information Models (BIM). All our reports meet the RICS Property Measurement Standards, so you can be confident internal areas are calculated on a common and consistent basis; critically, they are also objective and independent.

We provide 2D and 3D output including BIM, 360 virtual walkthroughs, site area measurement, boundary and topographical surveys, sections and elevations for refurbishment projects, elevations for rights of light negotiations, demise plans for leases, and Land Registry compliant title plans.

We have the technology and the skills to support you with everything from large scale, global portfolio instructions to small one-off instructions, all delivered with the same exacting precision and attention to detail.

Minimalist 3D squares building
ZSL London Zoo, Snowdon Aviary
A new lease of life was planned for the Snowdon Aviary which was due to be renovated and transformed into a new walkthrough primate enclosure. Heavy duty and light weight laser measurement scanners were utilised to capture the minute-detail required to form a 3D model which was used to recreate the mesh to the exact size. This data can now be used as a digital twin on an ongoing basis for maintenance and upkeep.
London Metropolitan University
London Metropolitan University
The basis for a multi-million pound refurbishment project, we prepared a BIM Level 2-ready, 3D model of the campus. This full data set supported workable 2D drawings for architects and contractors. An elevation survey of the tower allowed the façade consultants to replace defective panels. We also mapped underground services as well as plant and machinery.
Channel 4, Horseferry Road
Channel 4,
Horseferry Road
We prepared floor plans to provide accurate floor area measurements. We also carried out a topographical survey, including building elevations and sections for planned construction work. The most efficient way to deliver all these elements was to laser scan the entire site and model it to BIM level 2. Elevations, sections and floor plans could then be extracted easily. Where parts of the building were inaccessible to the scanner we used live data capture on tablet PCs to complete the model.
