Construction 3D capture

Construction 3D capture at every stage that matters.

Existing conditions, dilapidation, pre-slab, pre-plaster, handover. Moments where the evidence disappears, and as many chances to have it on record.

Quick answer Kybos captures a construction site in 3D at the stages where evidence gets covered up: existing conditions, dilapidation, pre-slab, pre-plaster, and handover and defects. A capture takes 1–4 hours on site, is delivered as a measurable online model in 24–36 hours as standard, and starts from around $395 for smaller projects. Larger projects are quoted.

02What it is

A site you can walk back into.

Construction 3D capture records a site as a measurable, navigable model. Not a folder of photos. A space that can be moved through, measured, and shared with anyone on a link.

Typical capture takes 1–4 hours and is planned around site activity. For most projects, work can continue with minimal disruption, subject to site access and safety requirements.

Everything that gets covered up stays on record.

03Across the project

How reality capture works across your project.

Disputes, claims, coordination breakdowns and costly rework all stem from the same root cause: no authoritative record of what was built and when.

01

Planning & design

  • Capture precise existing site conditions
  • Evaluate risks and design constraints
  • Align stakeholders early with visual clarity
  • Convert site data into BIM/CAD-ready formats
02

Construction progress

  • Monitor progress with visual updates
  • Manage RFIs and on-site issues remotely
  • Document key construction milestones
  • Reduce miscommunication with clear records
03

Commissioning & handover

  • Deliver accurate as-built 3D models
  • Create digital records for future facility use
  • Support O&M manuals with spatial context
  • Hand over a permanent record of the finished build

Existing conditions

Existing conditions

Taking over a site someone else started. A dated record of everything built to date draws the line between their work and yours, before you lift a tool.

02 / 05
Dilapidation

Dilapidation

The building that costs you isn’t the one you’re building. A dated capture of every adjacent property before work starts gives a clear reference if questions arise about existing conditions.

03 / 05
Pre-slab

Pre-slab

Hydraulic and electrical rough-in before the pour, with penetrations, set-out, pit locations, reo and formwork. Levels and dimensions stay measurable after the fact.

04 / 05
Pre-plaster

Pre-plaster

Every wall and ceiling cavity before lining: plumbing, electrical and mechanical rough-in, framing, bracing and waterproofing. Three trades share one cavity, and none of them are coming back.

05 / 05
Handover & defects

Handover & defects

Full as-built condition on the day of PC, defects located and dated, rectification recorded before and after. A record the owner keeps.

07Questions

Plain answers.

01What is construction 3D capture?

Construction 3D capture records a building site in measurable 3D and turns it into usable documentation throughout the project. Depending on the stage and requirements, Kybos can combine terrestrial 3D scanning and drone capture to produce interactive 3D records, point clouds, dilapidation documentation, Scan-to-BIM models and aerial data.

02When should I commission a 3D scan during construction?

Useful capture stages include existing conditions or dilapidation before work begins, pre-slab before concrete conceals services and reinforcement, pre-plaster or rough-in before walls are lined, and handover or completion for an as-built condition record. Projects do not need to capture every stage; the most useful milestones depend on the project risks and documentation requirements.

03What are the benefits for builders and project managers?

3D capture gives builders and project managers a measurable visual record of site conditions that can support coordination, remote review, dimension checking, QA and construction documentation. It can reduce uncertainty and help avoid unnecessary site revisits when information can be checked from the captured data.

04How does it help with documentation and defect management?

Each capture creates a dated visual and spatial record of the site at a particular construction stage. Capturing conditions before they are concealed and again at handover can support QA, defect review, rectification records and later comparisons if questions or disputes arise.

05Will 3D scanning delay my build?

Capture is normally planned around the construction program to minimise disruption. Many construction captures can be completed on site in approximately 1 to 4 hours depending on site size and scope. Priority processing can be available in as little as 12 hours for suitable projects, while larger or more complex deliverables may take longer.

06Does Kybos travel to construction sites?

Yes. Kybos primarily services the Gold Coast, Brisbane, South East Queensland and the Northern Rivers of New South Wales. Melbourne and other interstate projects can also be undertaken or coordinated by arrangement depending on project scope.
