OUR COMPETITIVE EDGES
3D Laser Scanning
Utilizing the latest in 3D laser scanning technology from our sister company Leica Geosystems, our 3D scanning service is delivered by local teams, available nationwide and around the globe.
With +100 highly trained reality capture field specialists, Multivista teams can support your projects whether large or small for a variety of purposes. We can provide point cloud data for your renovation project, scan during construction to verify and record as-built conditions or capture existing assets for ongoing facility management and maintenance.
Scan to Plan
Leveraging the accuracy of 3D laser scanning, our scan to services team turns point cloud data into 2D as-built CAD drawings. Based on your requirements Multivista can deliver architectural drawings in Autodesk AutoCAD DWG and DXF format.
- Floor plans
- Ceiling plans
- Building sections
- Roof plans
- Interior & exterior elevations
- Site plans
Scan to BIM
We transform your 3D point cloud data into highly accurate 3D Building Information Models (BIM). As-built models are extracted from the captured scan data by our team or qualified Architects and Engineers.
- Architectural base models – the building block for all modern renovation projects
- Architectural Plus models – include built-in cabinetry, decorative mouldings, and other historical features
- MEP models – mechanical, electrical, and plumbing modeling services
Floor Flatness Reports
Uneven and unlevel floors cause costly problems during construction. Multivista uses laser scan data and the latest analysis software to generate a PDF heatmap report that visualizes the deformation and contours of the floors surface, to give you visibility of potential problems.
- Manufacturing facilities
- Logistic warehouses
- High-rise & multi-story buildings
- Validation of any types of concrete slabs
Mesh Models
Meshing converts 3D point clouds into 3D triangulated models. When timelines are tight, and decisions need to be made quickly, Multivista can create 3D mesh models that allow clients to visualize their space in 3D within their standard Autodesk or other 3D software.
- Visualization – View and navigate around the 3D mesh
- Quick 3D output – Typically faster to create than other 3D deliverables
- VDC workflows – Used to verify as-built conditions

VIEW POINT CLOUD DATA ANYWHERE
Share with stakeholders up-to-date, accurate, real-world information on your project through Multivista’s online platform. With the integrated Leica Geosystems TruView technology, take virtual photo-realistic tours of your project site from anywhere, anytime. In addition, take measurements and annotate critical information, then easily share these details with any stakeholders to improve project collaboration.
How it works
Our scanning professionals use Leica Geosystems scanners to capture precise 3D measurements on-site.
Our expert teams process the data to deliver 3D point clouds, 2D CAD drawings, 3D BIM models, Floor flatness reports and Mesh models.
Your project teams use these deliverables to shorten timelines, report to stakeholders, get paid faster, and more!
Use Cases
Healthcare
Hospitals are complex facilities with critical infrastructure and a high density of MEP systems. The accurate documentation and digitization of these complex structures is critical to the success of any construction project or for ongoing facility management system.
Laser scanning provides a fast and non-intrusive method to capture healthcare facilities in precise detail allowing for the creation of accurate CAD drawings or 3D BIM models.
Education
Traditional methods for measuring buildings are time consuming and prone to error. Complex facilities like schools and universities often provide an impossible challenge to capture without the use of a modern 3D laser scanner.
Multivista can quickly scan these spaces in 3D and deliver a complete 3D picture, saving your team hours of time spent on site with measuring tape and clipboard.
The point cloud created by 3D laser scanning can also be linked to a georeferenced coordinate system via survey control, making it simple to visualize how each building on campus relates to the others.
Commercial
Precise 3D footprints are invaluable for both new commercial development and changes to existing structures. Often outdated plans cause costly mistakes which result in downstream project delays. 3D laser scans capture the true as-built situation on site and can be used to assess the impact of costly work before it’s performed, allowing you to propose multiple options for each property.
Trust Multivista to transform your commercial properties into information-rich and easily accessible digital assets with our 3D data capture services.
Residential
Whether a single-family home or a twenty-story tower block the need for accurate as-built documentation to start or finish your project is critical. 3D scanning captures a precise 3D dataset of your projects real-world situation which can be shared to stakeholders throughout the globe via Multivista’s online platform.
Our fully immersive 3D walkthrough connects people to their projects allowing our clients to virtually visit site without leaving their office. Collaborate with colleagues using the high-resolution measurable imagery or download the 2D CAD or 3D BIM model deliverables created by our scan to services teams.
Industrial
Our 3D reality capture professionals collect fast, accurate and dense geospatial data for industrial projects, avoiding potential hazards and limiting disruption to sites and work areas. Our 3D specialists have scanned:
- Water treatment plants
- Telecommunication and data centers
- Manufacturing facilities
- Complex boiler and plant rooms
Once captured our scan to services team will extract accurate 3D models of all the MEP systems and elements visible on site.
