Frequently Asked Questions
3D scanning uses laser or structured-light technology to capture precise measurements of physical spaces, creating a digital point cloud, a detailed 3D representation of the scanned environment. Architects use this data for renovation planning, engineers use it for structural analysis, and facility managers use it for maintenance documentation and space management.
LiDAR scanning uses laser pulses to measure distances with millimetre-level accuracy, making it ideal for engineering-grade documentation. Photogrammetry uses overlapping photographs to reconstruct 3D geometry and is better suited for large outdoor areas and aerial mapping. We use both technologies depending on project requirements, and they can be combined for comprehensive documentation.
We deliver point clouds in industry-standard formats including .e57, .las, .rcp, and .ply. Additional outputs include .obj and .fbx for 3D visualisation, .dwg for CAD workflows, and .pdf for measurement reports.
Our LiDAR scanning achieves accuracy up to ±2mm depending on scan distance, environmental conditions, and target surface.
We provide BIM-ready scan data, registered, cleaned point clouds optimised for import into Revit and other BIM platforms. For full BIM modelling, we work with specialist partners and can manage the complete workflow on your behalf.
Yes. We bring our own PPE and comply with site-specific HSE protocols. We have experience documenting factories, warehouses, production lines, and construction sites across Madrid and Spain.
Thermal imaging detects temperature variations across building surfaces, revealing insulation gaps, moisture intrusion, air leaks, HVAC inefficiencies, and electrical faults that are invisible to the naked eye.
Most interior spaces under 1,000m² can be scanned in a single day. Larger facilities or multi-building sites may require 2 to 3 days of on-site work.
Yes. We are based in Chamberí, Madrid, and regularly work across the Madrid metropolitan area, including industrial corridors in Toledo, Guadalajara, and surrounding provinces. We also accept projects throughout Spain and Europe, travel logistics are included in our project quotes.

Working with us
- Crew
- Standard crew is one photographer. A second photographer, a drone pilot or a lighting assistant are added by scope and quoted per line, so you can see what each one costs and decide whether the shoot needs it.
- Booking and rescheduling
- A non refundable booking fee reserves the date and is credited against the final invoice. Rescheduling is free more than 72 hours before the shoot. Weather is never charged: if conditions make the work impossible we move the date at no cost. If we cancel, the booking fee is refunded in full.
- Licensing
- Retail and brand work includes a broad commercial licence in the fee, because those images are made to be published. Industrial and architectural work is quoted with a licence line of its own, since the same photograph can serve an internal report or a global campaign and those are not the same thing. The parameters that set it are the territory, the duration, the media, and whether third parties such as suppliers or architects may use the files.
- Insurance and site access
- We carry 300,000 EUR of civil liability cover and work with our own PPE. Site inductions, safety briefings and access paperwork are handled before the shoot day rather than at the gate.
- Delivery and retouching
- Final delivery runs 5 to 10 days after the shoot, in web and print resolutions. Standard colour and perspective correction is included. Object removal, compositing and other advanced retouching is quoted separately, per image.
- Confidentiality
- We sign your NDA. Where a project is confidential, nothing from it appears in a portfolio, a case study or a social post, and that holds after the work is delivered and paid.
