A point cloud refers to a three-dimensional representation of the building’s geometry captured using scanning techniques. It consists of a dense collection of points that collectively form a detailed representation of the building’s surfaces, structures, and architectural elements.
The points represent the coordinates in 3D space of various surfaces and features, such as walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors, roofs, and structural components. Each point in the point cloud survey London contains spatial information (x, y, z coordinates) as well as potentially additional attributes such as colour, intensity, or reflectance.
Our Land Registry Compliant Plans can be completed with a fast turnaround to match the legal documents of your property. This includes Freehold Title Plans, Lease Plans, Boundary Plans giving a Comprehensive Service for Property Owners.
3D Laser scanning is technology used to capture the reality of a site, this can be used in multiple professions. It can be used in our case to map sites and buildings, or it could be used to capture a traffic accident so forensics could return to the scene years later from a PC.
Inspect roofs, document developments, or conduct property surveys with a high level of detail and in record time. That’s the power of drone imagery and videos.
Topographical surveys are land surveys that measure and map a piece of land’s physical features and characteristics. These features may include the terrain’s elevation, contours, vegetation, water features, and man-made structures.

Our draughting team are ready.
At Bidston Draughting, we provide you with the flexibility to obtain point cloud data in various formats, catering to your specific needs:
FLS – Exported from Faro Scene, this format allows for efficient storage and retrieval of point cloud data.
PTS, PTX – These formats are primarily exported from Leica Cyclone after the registration process is completed. They can also be exported from Faro Scene, providing versatility and compatibility.
E57 – As a compact and vendor-neutral format, E57 ensures optimal storage of point cloud data while maintaining compatibility across different software platforms.
RCP – Used in AutoCAD/Revit, the RCP format is ideal for producing 2D drawings and 3D models, enabling seamless integration into your existing workflows.
At Bidston Draughting, we offer a comprehensive range of deliverables that leverage the power of 3D laser scanning and point cloud technology. Our deliverables include:
2D Drawings – Using AutoCAD software, we create accurate and detailed 2D drawings, encompassing floor plans, roof plans, cross-sections, and elevations.
Floor Plans – We generate precise floor plans based on point cloud data, ensuring an accurate depiction of the building’s layout and dimensions.
Roof Plans – Our team creates detailed roof plans that showcase the roof structure, including slopes, ridges, valleys, and other relevant architectural elements.
Cross-Sections – We produce cross-sectional views that allow for in-depth analysis of the building’s internal structures, enabling effective evaluation and optimisation.
Elevations – With our expertise, we generate elevations that accurately depict the building’s exterior facades, capturing architectural features, fenestrations, and other critical details.
3D Revit Models – We can acquire 3D Revit models based on point cloud data, serving as a valuable tool for analysing and optimising building performance.
At Bidston Draughting, we carefully evaluate your project requirements to determine the necessity of a point cloud Survey. Typically, we recommend utilising point cloud surveys for the following scenarios:
To capture the 3D point cloud, our process involves aiming the scanner at the desired area or object, collecting millions of measured points. These points are then processed and registered using specialised software.
Point Clouds offer a visual representation of raw scanned data. While the initial points may lack visual quality, they can be utilized in CAD designs for efficient 3D modelling.
You use Point Cloud data for heritage conservation, accurately mapping architectural properties to maintain, conserve, and restore sites effectively.
Using a 3D point cloud service eliminates human error in measurements, thanks to high-quality and advanced surveying equipment. This ensures accurate and precise results for measured building surveying, reducing risks and improving efficiency.
A point cloud offers various applications, leveraging its accuracy, non-contact nature, and increased efficiency. It can be used to create Building Information Models (BIMs) for optimised development, design, and construction project management.
