3D Scanning Services in Cardiff

Digital Scanning Group provides Matterport 3D scanning, laser scanning point cloud surveys, scan to BIM modelling and drone surveys across Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Bridgend and South Wales. Our survey teams travel from London and Bristol, an easy run along the M4, and for larger programmes we base a team in the city for the duration of the work.

3D scanning in Cardiff

Cardiff's estate ranges from the civic buildings and arcades of the city centre and Cathays Park to the new office towers around Central Square and the regenerated waterfront at Cardiff Bay, with major hospital sites at the Heath and large university campuses spread across the city. Public sector and university clients in Wales increasingly require BIM deliverables on refurbishment projects, and a laser scan is the fastest route to an accurate as-existing Revit model of an older building.

Who we work with in South Wales

• Public sector and universities: As-built surveys and scan to BIM for estates teams delivering refurbishment and compliance programmes across Cardiff's campuses and civic buildings.
• Commercial offices: Virtual tours and floor plans for landlords, agents and fit-out contractors around Central Square, Callaghan Square and the Bay.
• Construction and refurbishment: Pre-works condition records, progress capture, gridline setting out and as-built handover data for contractors on live sites.
• Hotels, leisure and venues: Matterport tours and pre-refurbishment records for hotels, stadia and visitor venues, captured outside operating hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you charge travel to Cardiff?

For single-day surveys we add a fixed travel charge, which we confirm in the quote. For programmes of two days or more we usually absorb travel within the day rate, and for multi-site work across South Wales we base a team locally so there is no daily travel cost.

How quickly can you get to site in Cardiff?

Typically within five working days of instruction, and often sooner. Because our surveys capture everything in one visit, we rarely need to return, so a short site window is usually enough.

Can you scan an occupied building in Cardiff without disruption?

Yes. Matterport capture is quiet and non-contact, and we work around the occupier's day. For point cloud surveys we plan scan positions in advance so each area is only needed for a few minutes, and we can work evenings or weekends where a building is in continuous use.

What do I receive after a 3D scan in Cardiff?

For Matterport, a hosted 3D tour with dollhouse view, floor plan view and measurement tools, plus schematic floor plans if required. For laser scanning, a registered point cloud in RCP, E57 or LAS format, with CAD drawings or a Revit model produced to the level of detail you specify.
