Beyond the design phase, BIM can hugely improve the efficiency of the construction process itself. Recon’s expertise in site scanning and BIM software solutions make us ideally suited to create BIM models that improve the construction process at every stage.

Surveys done by drone allow access to richer images and data than traditional survey methods. They are also faster, cause no interruptions to work and pose zero safety risk.

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mapping involves surveying using drones equipped with a range of technologies, and processing the collected data into maps of various kinds depending on the information required.

Precise and detailed measurement of internal and external building surfaces is most efficiently obtained via 3D point cloud survey, also known as high definition survey. The 3D pointcloud can be used directly for analysis or, more commonly, modelled for direct import into design software.

Our survey scanners can scan from as close as 0.6m to a range of 70m or more depending on the model. Scanners capture as many as 976,000 data points in a second, and are accurate within 1mm.

Recon’s BIM laser scanning uses a combination of laser and GPS to produce highly accurate and visually rich models of an existing building. The process is quicker and safer than a manual building survey, and the results are more reliable
