We map the real world so you can design the digital one.

The standard base for design documentation is a purpose-built survey map — a geodetic survey of the planimetry and altimetry of the area of interest produced for a specific project. The planimetric component captures the horizontal layout of all terrain features (buildings, roads, fences, vegetation, surface markers of utility networks), while the altimetric component adds elevation information in the form of contours or spot heights.

A standard project base map (purpose-built survey map) includes the planimetry — buildings, roads, fences, vegetation, terrain breaks and surface markers of utility networks; the altimetry in the form of contours or spot heights; property boundaries taken from the land register; and object descriptions. We adapt the scope to your project's requirements. On request we add manhole depths, digitise utility operator sketches and deliver outputs in a layer structure matching your CAD standard.

Scan to BIM is a method where a structured 3D building model is created from a laser scan (point cloud). The output is a clean, vector 3D model in IFC, RVT or 3D DWG format. The model contains structural elements (walls, slabs, floors, columns, staircases), openings (windows, doors) and on request also MEP elements. It is not a raw point cloud — it is a model ready for your design work.

Scan to BIM is most commonly used for refurbishments where current design documentation is missing — historical buildings, industrial objects, office and residential buildings, cultural heritage sites. It is also suitable for building surveys, facility management or preparing documentation for change of use. If you are not sure whether Scan to BIM is suitable for your project, we will advise you.

We scan with the FARO Orbis Premium with ±2 mm accuracy in static mode and a range of 120 m. The resulting 3D model typically has geometric accuracy of ±5 mm for main structural elements. For special requirements (detailed façade surveys, deformation analysis) we discuss the accuracy individually.

We define the modelling scope using the LOD (Level of Detail) scale. As standard, we deliver models at LOD 200 to LOD 300 — structural and architectural elements with accurate dimensions and placement. On request we add visible MEP elements or detailed architectural elements (LOD 350). We build the model by manual tracing from the point cloud, which guarantees a clean vector output. The specific scope is confirmed before work begins, as it has a direct impact on price and timeline.

A point cloud is the raw output from laser scanning — millions of points with X, Y, Z coordinates that faithfully capture the surfaces of the scanned object. It is like a 3D photograph of reality. A 3D model (the Scan to BIM output) is created by manual tracing from the point cloud — it is a structured, clean vector file with distinguished structural elements that you can design with directly. If you need the point cloud as a separate deliverable (E57, LAS, RCP formats), we will supply it separately.

We survey across the entire Czech Republic. We currently have completed projects in all 14 regions — from linear infrastructure through industrial sites to surveys of public areas in village centres.

Yes, this is our primary model of collaboration. We provide geodetic survey data as a subcontractor for design firms preparing project documentation. We are used to communicating directly with the designer, adapting to their requirements for format and structure, and meeting their schedule.

Ideally: a sketch of the area of interest (even an approximate one on an orthophoto), the required survey scope (planimetry, altimetry, utilities, manhole depths…) and any special requirements on layer structure. The more precise the brief, the more precise the quote. If you are not sure about the scope, we will be happy to advise.

The duration depends on the size and complexity of the area of interest. We always adapt timelines to your project schedule and mutual agreement — including the option of priority processing.

Deliverables are handed over electronically. Each delivery includes a technical report. Printed outputs can be arranged by agreement.

Yes. As part of planimetric and altimetric surveying, we routinely measure surface markers of utility networks — manholes, lids, hydrants, distribution cabinets, overhead lines. On request we also measure manhole depths. Digitising utility operator sketches and incorporating them into the final map is provided as part of the commission.

We primarily specialise in pre-project surveys (planimetry, altimetry, technical maps) and Scan to BIM for refurbishments. Control measurements during construction or as-built surveys are handled on a case-by-case basis — get in touch and we will discuss it.

The price depends on the type of service, the size of the area of interest, terrain difficulty, required deliverables and location. Each project is individual, so we do not work with a flat-rate price list. Based on your brief we will prepare a no-obligation quote with itemised breakdown, usually within 48 hours.

As standard we deliver in DGN, DWG and DXF formats. For Scan to BIM projects we use IFC, RVT and 3D DWG. We adapt the format to your working environment — just tell us which software you design in.

We use a systematic layer structure derived from the practice of design firms. Planimetry, altimetry, utilities, cadastral boundaries and descriptive texts are always in separate layers with logical naming. If you have your own layer standard or company template, we will be happy to follow it — send it to us before work begins.

Yes. Outputs are prepared so that they can be opened and further processed in MicroStation, AutoCAD and Revit without issues. Files are always in the S-JTSK coordinate system (EPSG:5514) and Bpv height datum, so coordinates and heights fit directly in your CAD without any transformation.

The technical report is an integral part of every project. It includes a description of the survey scope, an overview of the instruments and methods used, data on the coordinate and height systems, the accuracy class achieved according to ČSN 01 3410, a list of control points used and an overview of output files.

The standard is S-JTSK / Bpv, which is required by most design documentation in the Czech Republic. In justified cases (linking to a local construction system, WGS 84 for foreign investors) we can transform the data. Please specify the requirement when placing the order.
