Point Cloud Surveys | Birmingham
Precision 3D Mapping for Birmingham’s Architectural and Commercial Projects
Point Cloud Survey: The Future of Precise Data Captured
Birmingham’s complex urban environment requires sophisticated planning and precision. SolidPoint’s point cloud surveys deliver that precision, supporting everything from commercial expansions to infrastructure renovations.
What is a Point Cloud Survey?
Point cloud surveys leverage advanced laser scanning technology to collect millions of precise data points from a construction site or existing structure, creating a highly detailed 3D model. This technology is essential for architects, urban planners, and engineers in Birmingham who need to ensure that their projects align perfectly with site conditions and planning regulations.
How Much Does a Point Cloud Survey Cost?
For projects in and around Birmingham, the cost can be as low as £850 + VAT for a small sized plot. This price will of course increase dependant on distance, size, and the level of detail required to record what you need.

The 2D drawings, 3D Models or Building Information Models (BIM) we supply, can be completed to the highest level of accuracy and detail.
Applications of Point Cloud Surveys
From heritage conservation to urban planning and infrastructure development, Point Cloud Surveys are reshaping the way we understand and interact with our environment. Some of its pivotal applications include:
- Architectural modelling and BIM: Convert point cloud data into detailed architectural models.
- Topographical Mapping: Get detailed terrains and landscapes in high resolution.
- Historical Site Documentation: Preserve intricate details of heritage sites.
- Infrastructure Analysis: Assess the condition and needs of infrastructure, from bridges to tunnels.
- Forensic Investigations: Capture crime scenes in intricate detail for evidence or event reconstruction.
- Industrial & Manufacturing Planning: Optimise workflow and safety in factory and industrial settings.
- Environmental Studies: Monitor natural environment changes, such as erosion patterns or forest density.
- Urban Planning: Aid city planners in visualising current layouts and predicting growth patterns.
Beyond these specific applications, the potential of point cloud surveys is vast. They can be utilised in a myriad of industries, from entertainment and gaming to academic research and cultural preservation. As technology progresses, the adaptability and versatility of point cloud surveys allow for almost limitless applications, each unlocking new avenues for understanding and interacting with our world.
