Planning & Design

Capture accurate existing conditions before design or construction begins. Laser scanning provides architects, engineers, and contractors with measurable site data that supports design development, renovation planning, quantity verification, and informed project decisions.

Construction & Verification

Document installed work, compare site conditions against project plans, and identify potential issues before they lead to costly rework. Repeat scans also create a reliable record of construction progress and concealed conditions.

Asset Management

Create detailed digital records of buildings, infrastructure, utilities, and industrial facilities. Scan data supports inspections, maintenance planning, renovations, future expansions, and long-term asset management.

Scan-to-Deliverable Workflow

Turn captured data into useful project information. Altohelix can help teams move from scanning to registration, review, measurement, CAD or BIM modelling, reporting, and long-term data management.

Measurements & Quality Control

Take measurements directly from the scan after leaving the jobsite. Teams can verify clearances, dimensions, quantities, installation locations, and existing conditions without requiring additional site visits.

Collaboration & Digital Twins

Give project stakeholders access to accurate digital environments for design coordination, progress reviews, remote walkthroughs, and asset management. Reality capture helps teams collaborate using a shared record of actual site conditions.
