Measured survey and scan-to-BIM for a 276 m² semi-detached house in Clontarf, Dublin. A design firm planning an extension or renovation needed a Revit model and drawn copies of the existing plans, elevations and sections. GeoMaus captured the house and side garage with Matterport and supplied a scan-to-BIM Revit model, a PDF set, and the raw point cloud data.
Clontarf, Dublin
276 m²
Luxury Residential
The owners of this semi-detached house asked their design firm to explore an extension or renovation, with a planning application a possible next step. The firm first needed the existing building recorded, including the side garage, as floor plans, elevations and sections it could open in Revit and share as drawings. Larger family homes like this are a big part of our luxury residential survey work.
At 276 m², the house is bigger and deeper than it looks from the road. The ground floor runs back from the front rooms through a living room and office to a rear hall, kitchen, dining area, utility room and store. Over the first floor, the attic is used as a full level about 5.6 m above the ground floor.
The brief asked GeoMaus to measure all three levels, every room on them, and the garage beside the house. Outside, it covered the front, side and rear walls, the drive and the garden within the boundary, so any extension could be drawn against the plot as well as the building.
The firm wanted to work in its own software from day one rather than redraw old plans. A Revit model of the existing house would let it test an extension against the deep plan and the garage, and the same model would produce existing drawings in PDF that the owners and, later, a planning authority could read without special software.
GeoMaus captured the property with Matterport from 97 scan points, about three hours on site. Working from the front rooms back through the rear hall, then into the garage, the attic and around the exterior, the capture followed the deep plan room by room so nothing at the back was left to assumption.
Registering every scan into one point cloud tied the front rooms, the rear hall and the attic together, which mattered in a house this deep: small errors at the front would otherwise grow by the time they reached the kitchen. Modeling the walls, stair and roof directly from that cloud gave the firm drawings it could trust at the back of the house as much as at the front.
Delivery comprised the Revit model, a PDF drawing set, a virtual walkthrough, and raw point cloud data from all 97 positions. The design firm could open the model straight away and begin testing extension and layout options against the rear hall, the garage and the attic as measured.
When the owners move toward planning, the existing drawings and model are already in place for the application, and the tour lets the team revisit any room without another visit. The full set was issued 5–7 days after the site visit. More of our Dublin measured surveys cover similar family homes.
Existing conditions survey and Revit as-builts for a 1,946 sq. ft. home in East Hampton, NY. A design firm needed the house measured ahead of renovation design. The GeoMaus measured building survey produced a Revit model, DWG and PDF drawings with floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations and sections, plus point cloud data and a tour.
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.
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.
GeoMaus completed existing conditions documentation for a 4,000 sq. ft. Tudor-style residence in Maplewood, New Jersey. Using point cloud data and Matterport imagery, we developed an LOD 300 Revit model and architectural drawings to document the property for future design work.
