Archidata Ltd – Comprehensive Surveying & Modelling Services

Based in Steyning (West Sussex), Archidata Ltd combines decades of surveying expertise with cutting-edge technology—serving architects, builders, self‑builders, property developers, private clients, and specialist sectors across the UK and internationally

Their full suite of services includes:

1. 3D Laser Scanning & Point Clouds

Capture rapid, colour or monochrome 3D data indoors and outdoors using tools like Zebedee, Trimble & Faro scanners, creating detailed point clouds for BIM workflows and visualisation

2. Topographical Land Surveys

Employ robotic total stations and OS‑linked GNSS GPS to map terrain with centimetre precision. Output formats include DWG, DXF, PDF, XYZ, RVT—ranging from simple level surveys to complex urban sites

3. Measured Building Surveys

Produce architectural floor, roof, lease, elevation, section, reflected‑ceiling, verticality profiles, and 3D wireframe/CAD/BIM models. Data is captured via 3D laser scanner on all jobs, and delivered in AutoCAD ArchiCAD or Revit formats

4. 3D Site Models & Section Drawings

Convert site surveys into full, partial, or sectional 3D models for terrain visualisation, DTM creation, site sectioning, animation, or import into SketchUp/Revit/ArchiCAD. Exportable in XYZ/CSV formats

5. Building Safety Act ‘Golden Thread’ Compliance

Assist with the Building Safety Act 2022’s “Golden Thread” mandate. Provide secure, searchable records and information systems for high-risk building lifecycle documentation

6. Monitoring Surveys

Perform periodic structural movement monitoring (weekly to yearly) to measure shifts in walls, riverbanks, cliffs or other features, producing reports on change trends

7. Verified Views (AVRs / VVMs)

Capture verified photomontages with precise camera positioning and image data. Deliverables include high-res PDFs, DWG files, and source images—often used in planning and visual impact assessments

All underlined by decades of expertise, advanced technology, and flexible output to match any stage of planning, design, or construction.Provide surveying crews for layout transfer from design to on-site setting out coordinates. Use custom scripts to import CAD points into total stations, minimising human error and ensuring tight tolerances8. Setting Out

9. Building Height Surveys

We provide accurate building height surveys to determine if your property meets the “higher-risk” or “relevant” thresholds under the Building Safety Act 2022. Using precise 3D laser scanning, we help freeholders, agents, and owners ensure compliance, avoid liability, and support property transactions with professional documentation.

10. Boat & Yacht Surveying

Utilise high-density 3D laser scans of vessels’ interiors and exteriors. Led by a director with an MCA Class IV Master qualification, Archidata caters to both power and sailboat design needs
