3D Roof Scan Technology

Introducing the latest innovation in flat roof refurbishment, Axter's 3D Scan Technology. Designed to transform how roofs are assessed, analysed and refurbished, this advanced solution captures millions of data points in just minutes.

The Future of Roof Refurbishment

Meet our state of the art advanced 3D laser scanning technology for flat roof refurbishment projects. We can assess fall direction, drainage issues, and slab tolerances with exceptional accuracy.

How 3D Roof Scans Improve Flat Roof Surveys

Efficient

3D deck scanning cuts survey times from hours to minutes, capturing millions of data points in one seamless sweep. It eliminates guesswork, cuts labour costs, and keeps teams safely off the roof.

 


 

Accurate

With precision down to a few millimetres, our technology exposes every dip and deviation invisible to the eye. These scans provide pinpoint accuracy and total confidence in every structural decision.

Intelligent

Insightful by design, 3D deck scanning reveals what the eye can’t see. Every scan delivers a deeper understanding of your roof’s condition, highlighting structural trends, drainage issues and areas for improvement.

Connected

Seamlessly integrated into modern workflows, including BIM and collaborative design processes, Axter’s 3D scanning solution provides a connected, data-driven approach to roof refurbishment. Maximise performance, efficiency and long-term value from every roofscape.

What really stood out was their use of 3D deck scan technology. Within a few days, we received a fully rendered 3D model of our roof that allowed us to accurately measure key areas, identify backfalls, and assess critical details in one comprehensive digital environment. The level of insight provided was invaluable, making it much easier to plan works and prepare for competitive tendering.

Axter managed the process exceptionally well from start to finish, and I would happily recommend them to any building maintenance company or client looking for precision, expertise, and cutting-edge surveying solutions.

3D Roof Scan Technology FAQs

A digital twin is a digital representation of a physical roof, built using captured survey data. Axter’s 3D Roof Scan technology creates a fully rendered digital model that allows project teams to examine the roof, take measurements and review key details in a shared digital environment.

A 3D roof survey provides detailed measurements and a clearer understanding of the existing roof structure. It can help identify backfalls, drainage issues, changes in roof level and variations in the deck, helping designers and building owners make more informed decisions before refurbishment work begins.

3D laser scanning can capture roof geometry with millimetre-level precision, depending on the equipment, survey conditions and measurement requirements. This level of detail helps reveal changes in roof levels and surface irregularities that may be difficult to identify through visual inspection alone.

3D roof scanning gives project teams detailed information about the existing roof before refurbishment is designed. The resulting model can be used to measure key areas, assess drainage falls, identify backfalls and review roof details. This supports more informed design decisions, helps reduce uncertainty and can improve preparation for pricing and tendering.

A digital roof model provides a detailed reference for understanding roof geometry and key features. It can support future inspections, maintenance planning and refurbishment decisions by giving facilities managers and project teams a shared digital record to consult. Its long-term usefulness depends on the information recorded and whether the model is updated as the roof changes.
