Survey-grade 3D laser scanning
Reality, captured to the millimeter.
Pathfinder documents buildings, sites, vehicles, and assets as precise, measurable point clouds — a defensible record for design, construction, and insurance. FJD scanners, Trion registration, and our own cloud rendering suite, end to end.

What we scan
If it can be measured, we can document it.
One scanning platform across six domains. Every engagement is registered to control, QC‑verified with documented accuracy, and delivered in the formats your team already works in.
- 01
Residential property
Homes captured inside and out — geometry, finishes, and contents recorded as an accurate, time-stamped baseline for renovation, valuation, and insurance.
- 02
Commercial & facilities
Offices, retail, and institutional buildings documented to survey grade — coordinated as-builts and BIM for tenant fit-out, FM, and capital planning.
- 03
Construction sites
Progress and verification capture against the model — deviation analysis, clash avoidance, and a dated record that settles RFIs and disputes.
- 04
High-value vehicles
Classic, exotic, and collector cars scanned at sub-millimetre detail — an objective condition record for agreed-value cover, restoration, and claims.
- 05
Industrial & infrastructure
Plants, utilities, and structures captured at density — MEP, deformation baselines, and clash-ready geometry for engineering review.
- 06
Heritage & assets
Historic fabric and high-value assets recorded non-destructively — archival digital twins that document condition long after the scaffolding comes down.
Insurance & forensic
Documentation that holds up.
A scan is more than a measurement — it's evidence. Pathfinder produces an objective, time-stamped record of a property, vehicle, or site that adjusters, engineers, and owners can all rely on, from underwriting to claim to restoration.
- 01
Pre-loss baseline
Document a property or asset exactly as it stands today. A dimensionally accurate, time-stamped record that confirms the extent of any future damage and speeds the claim.
- 02
Defensible evidence
A machine-captured, tamper-evident record of a loss site — revisit and measure it remotely, long after the scene is cleared, with documentation built to hold up under scrutiny.
- 03
Agreed-value vehicles
An objective condition record for collector and exotic cars — substantiate originality and restoration quality to support an agreed-value appraisal.
- 04
Restoration source of truth
One verifiable reference from pre-loss condition through final completion, shared across adjuster, restorer, and owner.
The pipeline
Three stages. One unbroken chain of custody.
Most firms hand your data between disconnected tools and hope it survives the trip. We own every stage from sensor to twin — so accuracy is engineered, traceable, and ours to stand behind.
-
STAGE 1 / 3 — Capture
FJD scanners
Field-grade FJD LiDAR hardware captures millions of points per second with integrated imagery — fast, repeatable, and built for real job-site conditions.
- Sensor
- FJD survey LiDAR
- Density
- 2M+ pts / sec
- Range
- Up to 300 m
-
STAGE 2 / 3 — Process
Trion software
Scans are registered, cleaned, and quality-checked in Trion — control-constrained alignment with documented accuracy, not best-guess stitching.
- Registration
- Control-constrained
- Accuracy
- +/- 2 mm
- QC
- Documented report
-
STAGE 3 / 3 — Render
Pathfinder cloud suite
Our own rendering platform turns the registered cloud into a navigable digital twin — streamed in the browser, measurable, and shareable by link.
- Hosting
- Pathfinder cloud
- Access
- Browser, no install
- Output
- BIM / mesh / tour
How an engagement runs
A straight line from site to deliverable.
- 01
Scan
We plan scan positions around your site and capture at density — control targets set, imagery logged, coverage verified before we leave.
- 02
Register
Back at base, scans are aligned to survey control in Trion and put through QC. You get a documented accuracy report, not a promise.
- 03
Render
The clean cloud is processed in the Pathfinder cloud suite into the deliverables you specified — BIM, mesh, ortho, or hosted twin.
- 04
Deliver
Files land in your formats and a browser walkthrough link in your inbox. Measure, mark up, and share with your whole team — typically inside 48 hours.
-
Registered point clouds
E57, LAS, RCP, PTS — control-aligned and decimated to your spec.
-
BIM & CAD
Revit, IFC, and DWG geometry modelled from the cloud to LOD.
-
3D mesh & ortho
Textured meshes plus true-scale orthophotos for documentation.
-
Hosted digital twin
A browser walkthrough link — measure and mark up, no software.
-
Volumes & reports
Cut/fill, stockpile volumes, and signed QC accuracy reports.
-
Deformation baselines
Repeat-scan comparisons for structural and settlement monitoring.
