FAQ – 3D Laser Scanning and Surveying in Xàbia – Costa Blanca
1. What is 3D laser scanning and what is it used for?
3D laser scanning involves capturing millions of spatial points using a high-precision scanner. This data is used to create a highly accurate digital model of a building, industrial site, or outdoor space. It provides a reliable foundation for design, renovation, heritage management, or BIM model creation.
2. What is the accuracy of your 3D scans?
We use state-of-the-art FARO equipment (Focus Premium, S150, S300, Blink) guaranteeing millimetre accuracy, typically ±1 to 2 mm depending on acquisition conditions.
Each scanner is calibrated annually and checked monthly to ensure consistent data quality.
3. What types of deliverables do you provide?
We deliver all the outputs required for your projects:
-
Point clouds: .e57, .rcp, .rcs
-
2D plans: .dwg, .dxf, .pdf
-
BIM models: .rvt, .ifc, LOD 300 to 500
-
Offline immersive virtual tours
-
Structural and thermal calculation reports compliant with Eurocodes and European standards
4. Do you work only in Xàbia?
No. Our agency covers the entire Costa Blanca region, including Xàbia, Dénia, Moraira, Calpe, Teulada, Benissa, Ondara, Pedreguer, El Verger, and even cross-border projects in nearby regions.
5. What are the lead times for a 3D scanning project?
We guarantee some of the fastest turnaround times on the market:
6. Do you provide liability insurance?
Yes. S3D Engineering is covered by a ten-year liability insurance, mandatory when producing plans or BIM models used for construction or renovation. This ensures the legal security and reliability of our deliverables.
7. Can you work on occupied or operational buildings?
Absolutely. We adapt our operations to minimise disruption, even in sensitive industrial, commercial, or residential environments (active factories, data centres, public facilities, listed sites, etc.).
8. Do you offer services for municipalities or public authorities?
Yes. We support local authorities in digitising their built heritage, creating digital twins, preparing energy renovation projects, and planning urban development.
9. What are the advantages of BIM modelling?
BIM centralises all project data into an intelligent 3D model. This collaborative approach reduces errors, improves coordination between stakeholders, optimises costs, and simplifies long-term building maintenance.
