Scanning Buildings – Accurate Data for Reverse Engineering Projects
As part of our Reverse Engineering – Buildings service, Imagine Draughting Services (IDS) provides professional building scanning support, helping clients capture accurate, real-world data for refurbishment, modification and redevelopment projects.
When original drawings are missing, outdated or inaccurate, building scanning allows us to create a precise digital representation of the existing structure. Using modern scanning technology, we capture detailed measurements, structural elements and spatial layouts, forming the foundation for reliable CAD modelling.
From Scan to CAD Model
Once the building is scanned, IDS converts the collected data into accurate 2D drawings and 3D CAD models. This process supports:
- Refurbishment and retrofit projects
- Structural modifications
- Fabrication and installation planning
- As-built documentation
- Design validation and coordination
Our structured workflow ensures that the scanned data is translated into clear, production-ready documentation suitable for engineers, architects and contractors.
Supporting Complex Building Projects
Building scanning significantly reduces site measurement errors, improves coordination and minimises costly rework during construction or fabrication. Combined with our in-house CAD expertise, IDS delivers dependable digital models that support informed decision-making.
If you require building scanning as part of a reverse engineering project, IDS can provide accurate data capture and professional CAD documentation to move your project forward with confidence.
