At Red Box Surveys, we use the latest technology to ensure that our clients receive surveys of the highest standards. Laser scanning is a new technology that allows for 3D mapping of a building as an alternative to total stations or alongside traditional survey instruments.
If you require a survey for your project, development or construction, you will want to guarantee the results are highly accurate and representative of the building. With this in mind, Red Box Surveys has invested in the technology necessary to ensure this for our clients.
Please keep reading to learn more about laser scanning for surveys and how this technology benefits both our business and you as our client. All of our team want to help our clients in the best way possible, so utilising laser scanning for surveys helps us ensure we surpass expectations.
What is Laser Scanning for Surveys?
Laser scanning technology for building surveys allows our surveyors to rapidly collect a large amount of accurate, coordinated 3D laser points from the surface of removed features as a ‘point cloud’ image. This makes laser scanning a rapid surveying solution for inaccessible elements and complex geometrical details.
The latest scanning technology allows us to quickly share results with project leaders, architects, and design teams directly on their desktops. This means that they can easily access and find the point cloud image and use it as a visual record of the building at a certain point before, during or after construction. This allows the project manager to check post-construction that the completed building matches the proposed designs.
So much can be surveyed with laser scanning through its non-contact nature, such as complex structures like ships, aircraft and even production facilities. The following benefits of laser scanning are what make it so adaptable to different clients’ needs and situations.

Creates Customisable Scanning
Laser scanning technology allows Red Box Surveys to provide customers with customisable scanners. Our surveyors can capture and use large volumes of 3D data in a range of environments. Sometimes, a client may request a survey of a building with hard-to-reach areas or unsafe locations such as highways, tunnelling projects and hazardous sites. This not only keeps us out of harm’s way but also your workers, with roughly 150,000 construction injuries each year, according to BLS. Laser scanning is also well suited for measuring heritage sites, historic buildings and facades.
Just speak to one of our team members and give them the information about the site that you want to survey to learn more about our techniques and equipment.
Our Wealth of Knowledge
Laser scanning is a relatively modern technology with concerns to surveying, but our teams have a wealth of knowledge surrounding both its usage and benefits. You can be assured that we will choose the right technology and techniques to ensure a more accurate survey for you, whether that is laser scanning or a mixture of traditional and modern equipment.
All of our staff are suitably qualified and hold a CSCS card as standard, as well as several other specialist certifications, depending on their roles. You can rest assured that we are professional, efficient, and hard-working when providing you with your survey on time and within budget.
We Understand Your Needs
As laser scanning experts, we understand when a situation calls for this technology to be used – often before you realise it yourself. By providing us with details on what you want to be surveyed, we can assess which equipment needs to be used. Laser scanning helps us provide our clients with the top-quality service that they expect, effectively surveying an area and efficiently providing them with accurate results.
Whether you want to survey an area or building before, during or after construction, we can meet your needs. Our surveyors can visit the site or use remote technology and laser scanning as many times as the client requires. This can help project and construction managers understand the construction process and ensure that the final product is exactly what they planned for.
Check out our website to learn more about laser scanning for surveys and how it can benefit your business needs, projects or developments. We also have a list of the many surveys that we are capable of carrying out; with over 40 years of experience behind us, we can ensure that our surveys are always completed to the highest standards.
