Surveys and data delivered by people who think and work like architects
We’re architecturally trained surveyors delivering model-ready data that drops straight into your workflow.
From digital twin to design-ready drawings
We transform high-definition 3D laser scanning into beautifully structured architectural outputs.
Survey data that integrates seamlessly into your project requirements
We don’t just capture measured building and topographical surveys, we integrate with your design process.
About Archidata:
Based in Steyning, West Sussex, Archidata delivers architect-ready topographical surveys, measured building surveys and BIM modelling across the UK. Founded and led by Rob McLean, we combine architectural understanding with advanced surveying expertise to produce precise, beautifully structured outputs that integrate seamlessly into your workflow. We collaborate closely with every client, tailoring each survey to the specific demands of the project and providing dependable, design-ready data from day one.
Architectural floor, roof, lease, area, legal and conveyance plans, elevations, cross sections, reflected ceiling plans, 3D wireframes, rendered CAD models, BIM models, verticality profiles and monitoring, fly throughs, precise floor slab surveys... all using the latest Bluetooth linked laser measuring equipment and software. Provided as 2D CAD drawings or 3D models in AutoCAD, Revit, BricsCAD, ArchiCAD or Sketchup.
A monitoring survey can detect if or how far a building or structure has moved over time. The survey process involves monitoring specific markers at regular intervals, which can be daily, weekly, monthly, or even annually depending on the nature of the job.
State-of-the-art robotic one-man Total Station theodolites and centimetre accurate Ordnance Survey linked GNSS/GPS equipment allow us to capture site data to provide accurate land surveys in a range of formats including DWG, DXF, PDF, XYZ, and RVT.
The level of detail can vary from a simple level survey with basic line work to a fully annotated plot of a complex urban scene.
Fast and highly accurate colour or monochrome 3D data captured indoors and out, measuring your site in three dimensions to provide a comprehensive 3D Point Cloud of your land and property.
Our handheld mobile rapid LiDAR mapping system (GeoSLAM) allows for fast data capture, without complex set up or lengthy data processing. It's ideal for use indoors, underground and in environments where traditional GPS solutions don't function well, even dense woodlands!
Our Point Cloud survey services leverage advanced 3D laser scanning technology to capture highly accurate spatial data of your site or property. Using state-of-the-art LiDAR scanners, we create detailed 3D models with millimeter-level precision, offering a faster and more cost-effective alternative to traditional surveying methods.
Full or partial 3D models from gathered survey data produced in a variety of formats to suit your needs for BIM, animations or simply for rendered visualisation purposes. Land surveys can provide digital terrain maps (DTM) with contours and almost instantaneous site sections. Data for sandboxing in Sketchup or topo surfaces in Revit, and XYZ/CSV files for import into CAD.
