Reduced Drift Risk
Target- and cloud-based registration with overlap checks keeps floors and grids from drifting across setups.

Scan RegistrationSurvey-Accurate Alignment
We align multi-station laser scans into a single, control-referenced point cloud — with unified coordinates, verified overlap and documentation your modelers and surveyors can trust.

Problem Statement
Unregistered Scans Cannot Drive Modeling
Individual scan setups drift, overlap inconsistently and sit in local coordinates. Modeling against unregistered clouds produces misaligned floors, skewed grids and unreliable deviation checks.
Our Solution
Survey-Grade Registration & Control
We align multi-station scans using targets, overlap and control points, unify coordinate systems and units, and deliver a registered cloud ready for modeling, QA and stakeholder review.

Benefits
Why Teams Choose Our Scan Registration Service
Registration that removes coordinate risk before a single BIM element is placed.
Project Coordinate Systems
Clouds are transformed to your survey control, shared coordinates or project base point as specified.
Registration Report
Error metrics, control residuals and setup maps document how the cloud was aligned.
Modeling-Ready Output
Exports in E57, RCP/RCS or agreed formats so Revit, Archicad and ReCap open cleanly.
Fast Turnaround
Most registration packages return in 2–5 business days depending on station count and control quality.
Workflow
Our Scan Registration Process
A disciplined registration workflow from raw setups to a single reference cloud.
01
Discovery
We confirm scanner type, target strategy, control network and required export formats.
02
Point Cloud Review
Individual setups are inventoried for coverage gaps, density and obvious movement artifacts.
03
Planning
Registration method, control hierarchy and coordinate transformation are agreed before processing.
04
Registration
Setups are aligned using targets, overlap and control points, then unified into one cloud.
05
QA
Residuals, slice checks and overlap visuals confirm the cloud meets agreed tolerances.
06
Delivery
Registered cloud, report and optional cleanup package are delivered for modeling kickoff.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to what teams most often ask before starting a scan registration project.
What scanner brands do you support?
Leica, FARO, Trimble and other terrestrial scanners exporting standard formats — contact us if you use a specialty system.
Do we need survey control?
Control improves absolute accuracy. Relative registration is possible without it, but we recommend control for multi-building or site-tied work.
Can you register interior and exterior setups together?
Yes. We routinely merge interior and exterior stations into a single site-referenced cloud.
What tolerances do you target?
