A measured survey in Rathfarnham, Co. Dublin, recorded a two-storey semi-detached house of approximately 1,576 sq ft (146 m²), with a front porch, an attic storey and a long rear garden. The design team required an existing-building record for an initial feasibility study.

Rathfarnham is a south Dublin suburb of semi-detached houses, many of them in residential estates. This house follows that pattern. It is a two-storey semi-detached building of approximately 1,576 sq ft (146 m²), with a front porch and an attic storey, standing at the front of a long, narrow plot.
The existing site plan and ground floor plan record a long garden at the rear, much deeper than the house itself. For an initial feasibility study, that garden, the porch and the attic are the parts of the existing building a design team would test layout or extension options against. The client required a measured survey of the house as it stood, including those elements, before the study began.
GeoMaus was asked to complete the survey and to issue the existing-building drawings and model required by the client, so the feasibility work could start from a measured record of the house and its plot. That visit, and the record that followed, had to show the house and garden together, not the building in isolation.
The Rathfarnham existing conditions survey package required by the client included existing plans, elevations and sections, a Revit model and PDF drawing set, together with the Matterport tour and the raw point cloud data. The drawings and model were delivered within 5 to 7 days of the survey.
The site visit for laser scanning in Rathfarnham was on 13 May 2026 and lasted about three hours. The house was recorded with Matterport, in 100 scan points through the ground floor, first floor, attic and the exterior.
The laser scanning method provided the measured geometry for the drawings and the Revit model. The Matterport record from the same visit is a visual tour of the house, and the raw point cloud data was kept with the project record.
Once the package was issued, the design team could begin the feasibility study with a measured record of the semi-detached house, the porch, the attic and the long rear garden. Layout or extension options can be checked against that existing base in plan, section and model form, which is what the client required before the study started. The issued drawings and model remain the existing-building reference for the Rathfarnham study as those options are tested against the long plot.

A topographic survey for a residential landscape project in Overland Park, Kansas. The landscape architect team required an exterior site plan and four as-built elevations for an estate of about 1.5 to 2 acres in Johnson County, within the Kansas City metro. GeoMaus used exterior Matterport capture to produce the agreed measured record. See our Kansas City as-built documentation page for wider area coverage.
Full LiDAR capture and scan-to-BIM documentation of a 125-room, 7-story hotel near Kansas City Airport, combined with a drone measured survey to accurately capture building heights and elevations beyond the reach of ground-based scanning, completed in 3 days on site to support a brand-compliance renovation and PIP.
Existing conditions survey and scan-to-BIM documentation for a hotel near Bangor International Airport in Maine. The project combined a Revit model, CAD drawings, PDF documentation, and a Matterport 3D virtual tour to support renovation planning, room-by-room quantity takeoffs, and kitchenette feasibility across 25 guest rooms.
Measured building survey and CAD as-built drawings for a 2,547 sq. ft. two-story home in Newark, NJ. A residential design firm needed the house drawn to its own CAD standard. GeoMaus captured the property with a Matterport Pro3 and delivered plans for three levels, elevations, sections, a roof plan, and door and window schedules.
