Point Cloud Survey: The Future of Precise Data Captured
What is a Point Cloud Survey?
How Much Does a Point Cloud Survey Cost?
For projects in Leicestershire, 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.
A Point Cloud Survey involves the use of advanced laser scanning technology to capture millions of data points from a physical space or object. These data points, when visualised, form a ‘cloud’, offering a 3D representation that’s rich in detail and depth. Whether you’re an architect, engineer, developer, or historian, Point Cloud Surveys provide a digital twin that’s almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
Leicester, a city with a rich history and a vibrant future, is experiencing significant growth and redevelopment. At SolidPoint, we support these dynamic changes with our expert point cloud survey services, utilising the latest 3D laser scanning technology to ensure every project is underpinned by the most accurate and comprehensive data available.

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.
