ELEVATIONS

We have 2 main approaches when producing our elevations. Our more traditional method is of Using reflector-less total stations and up to date specialist software in conjunction with a laptop computer. This method produces good quality 2d linework of the faces of buildings, surveyed and drawn at a detail level agreed with you and is capable of producing drawings ranging from basic structural detail down to a brick by brick survey of the facade.

More often than not, a more appropriate technique involves our 3D laser scanner. This produces very high quality data across the entire face of a building and allows us to produce all sorts of final drawings. We can produce the traditional 2D linework if required, but using the scanner offers several advantages and allows the delivery of much more detailed products. We can produce fully scaled, dimensionable and rectified photos of an elevation. This is much better than a 2d linework drawing. It allows the measurements you would normally make, but shows in detail all the features on the elevation and not just a limited set of features.

The data from the scanner also allows for the production of full 3D models. These can be photo rendered to create a lifelike scene and can lead to fly throughs and visualisations of future development.

Elevations are vital to architects and building consultants for planning permission. The production of detailed plans enable designs to be completed quickly and reduces the need for costly site visit.
