Why a 3D Laser Scan Matters in Blandford
Blandford has a Georgian town rebuilt after the 1731 fire, with beautiful Georgian townhouses in the centre, post-war estates, and rural farmhouses on the outskirts. A laser scan captures your home exactly as it is — not as the estate agent drawings suggest. This precision matters because even 50mm of error in a measured survey can mean a steel beam that doesn't fit or a foundation that misses the mark.
What we scan
We scan every room affected by your project plus the exterior walls, roof line, and boundaries. In Blandford, where sympathetic extensions to Georgian properties, kitchen-diners on family homes, and barn conversions in the surrounding countryside, the scan captures the exact wall thicknesses, ceiling heights, and floor levels that determine what is structurally possible.
Access considerations in Blandford
Blandford's Georgian centre is a significant conservation area. Builders need to use traditional materials and methods in the historic core. Our scanner is portable and battery-powered — we don't need power sockets or clear rooms to work.
What you receive
Millimetre-accurate floor plans and elevation drawings delivered digitally within one week. These become the foundation for structural calculations, planning drawings, and builder quotes. No more guesswork.
