Point Cloud Surveys | Manchester
Advanced 3D Laser Scanning for Manchester’s Urban and Industrial Projects
Point Cloud Survey: The Future of Precise Data Captured
At SolidPoint, we are equipped to support Manchester’s bustling development scene with our expert point cloud survey services. Whether you’re involved in constructing new urban housing, renovating historic industrial buildings, or expanding commercial enterprises, our advanced 3D laser scanning technology ensures your projects are managed with the highest level of precision and efficiency.
What is a Point Cloud Survey?
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.
How Much Does a Point Cloud Survey Cost?
For projects in and around Manchester, the cost can be as low as £950 + 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.
