Key criteria for successful architectural surveying

Point 1 - Quality of the point cloud: A point cloud of high quality is the key to a precise and accurate 3D model. Only with a sufficiently dense point cloud can all relevant details of the building be modeled. Our experienced surveyors know exactly how to position the laser scanner to cover all angles and corners and create a perfect point cloud.

Point 2 - Displacements in Point Cloud Data: Did you know that 80% of point cloud data is in error? Without detecting and cleaning up these inaccuracies and errors, they can slip unnoticed into the 3D model or 2D plans and distort the final result. Therefore, recognizing and, more importantly, correcting these errors is an absolutely critical step for an accurate model.

Point 3 - Choosing the right CAD software: Choosing the right CAD software is another important factor for modeling 3D architectural models from point clouds. Make sure that the software you use for further data processing is also used for stock modeling. Each CAD system has different libraries and functions, and an automatic transfer to another CAD system, for example using IFC, will in most cases lead to limitations in further processing. VDE works directly in ArchiCAD, Revit, Allplan, Vectorworks and AutoCAD.

Point 4 - Craftsmanship: As with any skill, creating 3D models from point clouds requires practice and experience. Our drafters have vast experience in creating precise and accurate 3D models. The more you practice, learn or even train others the better you become at creating accurate and precise models. Only with a deep understanding of CAD software functions and tools can you achieve quality results.

Point 5 - Quality takes perseverance: one thing you should never forget when creating 3D models from point clouds is patience. Creating clean and accurate models takes time and perseverance. There are many ways to model a visually great 3D model, but accurate data requires patience and an eye for detail. That's why it's important to allow enough time for as-built surveys to achieve a perfect final result.

Point 6 - Powerful hardware: To ensure fast and efficient processing of point clouds, powerful hardware is essential. It definitely needs powerful computers, graphics cards and enough memory to efficiently process large amounts of point cloud data. Our 3D modelers are equipped with powerful tools to achieve accurate and reliable results.

Point 7 - Professional guest service: Outstanding guest service is key to a successful business relationship. You want to feel that your needs and concerns are being heard. Good customer service is characterized by promptness, friendliness, competence, empathy, solution orientation, accessibility and follow-up. When you as a guest feel that your concerns are taken seriously and that the company is making an effort to provide a So, let's make hospitality a priority and build a long-term relationship between us as a company and you as a guest.
