Measured survey and Revit model of a 165 m² three-story house in Leopardstown, Dublin, with a single-story side wing and an attic. A residential design firm needed the existing house recorded before a feasibility study. The GeoMaus measured building survey produced plans of all four levels, elevations, a section, and a Revit model, plus a tour and raw scan data.

This survey began when a residential design firm, appointed to run an early feasibility study on this house, asked for the property to be recorded first. Every idea it tested would depend on how the existing floors, stair, and roof line up, so it needed one consistent base rather than a mix of old plans and site notes. Feasibility work like this is a regular starting point for our residential survey projects.
The 165 m² house rises through ground, first, and second floors to an attic set about 8.8 m above the ground floor, with a gable roof over the main block. A single-story wing runs along one side, so the roof line steps from three floors plus attic down to one beside it.
On the ground floor the capture took in the entrance, living room, dining area, kitchen, utility room, and hall, along with the side wing. Upstairs, it covered the bedrooms, office, and bathrooms on the first floor, the bedroom, en suites, storage, and plant space on the second, and the attic under the ridge.
The firm wanted one consistent base rather than a mix of old plans and site notes, so it could test ideas for the side wing and the attic without second-guessing a dimension. That meant floor plans, elevations and a section in PDF for quick review, all drawn from a Revit model built from the scan data that the firm could open and design in itself.
Matterport capture was used to record the house, moving through each room on all four levels and then around the outside of the main block and side wing. The registered capture became both the point cloud used for modeling and a Matterport 3D tour that the design team could open from its own office.
With four levels stacked over a single-story wing, the stair and roof were where errors would show first. Modeling every floor and the roof from the registered capture kept the attic, about 8.8 m above the ground floor, and the lower wing on one shared set of levels, so the firm could judge a loft conversion or a wing extension on measured headroom.
The firm received the full PDF set, the model in Revit, a walkthrough tour, and the complete raw point cloud in a single handover. Because every drawing comes from the same model, the attic, the second floor, and the lower side wing all sit on a shared set of levels.
With the house measured, the firm could weigh feasibility options against the real stair position, roof pitch, and side wing instead of assumptions. If the scheme moves forward, the existing drawings and model can carry into the next design stage. The project joins our wider measured surveys in Dublin.
As-Built Survey and scan-to-BIM documentation for a 4,351 sq. ft. restaurant space in Brooklyn, NY. The project included detailed architectural CAD drawings, a Revit model, a point cloud, and a Matterport 3D virtual tour, documenting the restaurant’s public areas, kitchen, storage spaces, and building services.
