What architects need to Check before relying on scan data

(and what could happen if you don’t)

Scan data plays a critical role in design – but when it’s incomplete, inaccurate or not fit for purpose, issues often only appear later (when they’re expensive to fix!).

This guide shows what to look for early so your project team can move forward with confidence.

Why Bad scan data causes problems later in projects

Most issues with scan data don’t appear immediately.

They show up during coordination or construction – when models don’t align, elements are missing or assumptions made early in the project turn out to be wrong.

By that point, changes are more complex, more time consuming and much more expensive.

the clear, practical Guidance you need

We work with architects, engineers and builders across a wide range of projects – from residential work to complex, live construction environments.

This guide distils that experience into a simple, practical overview of what actually matters when working with scan data, and what to look out for when you’re considering a quote.

What’s inside the Guide:

Based on real projects across complex sites, heritage buildings and live construction environments, we’ve pulled together years of experience into this practical guide.

Make better decisions earlier

A better understanding of scan data means a more streamlined project with less surprises.

Design with greater confidence
Avoid unnecessary rework
Reduce coordination issues
Ensure data is fit for purpose

What happens when scan data is Misunderstood?

When scan data is collected or used without fully understanding its limitations or intent for use it can lead to big problems. Bad data can lead to design assumptions that don’t hold up, clashes during coordination, delays during construction and expensive rework.
