Precision you can build from.

Platinum 3D Consultants survey, model and interpret the built environment, specialists in the existing buildings that are hardest to get right.

What we do

Existing-building information, made usable.

Laser scan and survey

We capture complex sites at survey-grade accuracy with terrestrial laser scanning: millions of measured points, registered to control, with minimal disruption to occupied buildings.

Data Processing

Registered, classified and trimmed point clouds your team can 
interrogate straight away: raw capture turned into something 
workable.

Scan to BIM modelling

Revit models built by people who read buildings, not software 
that guesses at them. Modelled to the detail your project needs 
and structured for the way your team works.

Why Platinum?

01 / 03

Survey-grade Accuracy

We don't just record a building. We understand it, resolve the ambiguities and translate it into information you can rely on.

02 / 03

Interpretation expertise

Our modellers are building specialists, not software operators. Where a scan is ambiguous, we read the building and resolve it, so the model shows what's really there.

03 / 03

Clear deliverables

We agree scope, detail and formats up front, then issue exactly that: models and drawings your team can open, trust and build from.

“We first approached Platinum to look at providing point cloud data and a Revit model for a project at Cardiff University’s Bute Building. Not only was the quality of the data excellent, the aftercare we received was exemplary. It’s clear that Platinum have a highly experienced team of surveyors and modellers which has now provided us with the perfect starting point for a number of high-profile projects. We’d recommend their services to anyone looking to digitise existing assets and look forward to working with them on future projects.”
“I have worked with Platinum 3D now on a number occasions providing both scan to BIM and point cloud surveys of as built structures. I’ve had excellent experience in their service delivery clearly showing professionalism, experience and user-friendly customer care. Feedback from design teams has been very positive in the level of detail and quality of the models they produce. They have maintained their high standards in difficult circumstances working in and around live working environments, outside normal working hours and on live construction sites. I will continue to consider them for all future projects I’m involved in.”
“Gensler LA & Program Management Office would like to extend our appreciation for the years of exceptional service from Platinum 3D. Your team’s flexibility and willingness to tailor services to support our client’s needs as well as your ability to expedite work while maintaining a high level of quality has led to many successful projects. Our continued partnership and coordination efforts allow for great adaptability in an ever-changing world and aggressive schedules dictate short turnaround time(s), and yet your teams continue to deliver quality work.
