3D laser scanning surveys and Scan to BIM throughout Greece

We survey the existing building. You design what comes next.

Point clouds, DWG drawings, orthophotos and Revit or ArchiCAD models.

3D scanner: Leica RTC360, one of the most accurate devices on the market.

Both the survey and the processing are carried out by engineers with technical insight and know-how, not by mere operators.

For owners and architects abroad

Buying or renovating a property in Greece?

Old drawings are often incomplete or do not match what was actually built. Before you sign or start designing, we measure the building as it stands today and deliver as-built plans that you and your architect can rely on.

  • As-built floor plans, elevations and sections before a purchase or a renovation
  • Floor areas and geometry checked against the permit drawings
  • A point cloud your architect can open in a web browser, wherever they are
  • We work in Greek, English, French, German and Italian
Web viewer: 360° panoramic photo from a scan station on a building roof, with the positions of the other stations

Web access

The point cloud in your browser

We send you a link. You open the point cloud and the 360° photos in any browser, without downloading heavy files or installing software.

  • Move from station to station with 360° panoramic photos
  • Measure distances on the point cloud
  • One link for the whole team: architect, engineers, owner, contractor
  • Check details from your office, without another site visit

About

One engineer behind every survey

Theodore Asonitis, civil engineer (National Technical University of Athens, NTUA) with an MSc and an MBA from EPFL, founded AB 3D Scanning. He follows every project from quote to delivery and knows what a drawing needs in order to stand up in a design study, on site or before the authorities.

We work in Greek, English, French, German and Italian. The same team also works in Switzerland: ab-3dscanning.ch.

FAQ

Before you ask for a quote

How much does a laser scanning survey cost?

It depends on the size and complexity of the building, the number of scan stations, the deliverables and the scale. We do not publish a price list, because two buildings of the same floor area can require very different work. Send us the location, floor area and deliverables, and you will receive a quote within 24 hours.

How long does it take?

It depends on the type, size and complexity of the project. From survey to delivery, it takes from a few hours to 1–2 weeks. For urgent projects we deliver in stages.

Where in Greece do you work?

Throughout Greece, on the mainland and on the islands. Recent projects include Athens, Kifisia, Piraeus, Preveza, Karditsa and Farsala.

Can I view the point cloud without special software?

Yes. We send you a link and you open the point cloud and the 360° photos in any web browser, without downloading heavy files or installing software. You can move from station to station and measure distances. For offline viewing we also deliver Leica TruView.

Can the drawings be in English or French?

Yes. Title blocks, labels and notes can be prepared in English or French on request, and we communicate in Greek, English, French, German and Italian.
