3D laser scanning in Riyadh and Saudi Arabia
3D laser scanning measures a site or building as millions of points in minutes, producing a point cloud that engineers can measure from. YAZ Development scans with the Leica RTC360 and Trimble X7 and delivers registered data for projects in Riyadh and across Saudi Arabia.

When you need it
- Documenting existing buildings and industrial sites
- Verifying built geometry: flatness, verticality, deviations
- Capturing complex structures such as stadium roofs and steelwork
- Reference data for design, renovation and clash detection
- A dated record of site progress
How a scanning job runs
- Plan scan positions and survey control
- Scan the site, with targets or control points as needed
- Register the scans into one point cloud
- Check registration quality
- Deliver the point cloud and any drawings or models agreed
What you receive
Registered point cloud in E57, RCP or LAS, a registration and quality report, and optional CAD drawings or BIM models according to the scope.
Capture methods
| Method | Best for | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Terrestrial laser scanner (Leica RTC360, Trimble X7) | Buildings, facades, plant rooms, stadium roofs, tunnels and stations | Dense, coloured point cloud registered to survey control |
| Mobile mapping (SLAM) | Long corridors, roads and large interiors | Point cloud along the route travelled |
| UAV (drone) mapping | Roofs, open sites and terrain | Orthophoto, surface model and photogrammetric point cloud, as a complement to ground scanning |
Deliverables and file formats
| Deliverable | Format |
|---|---|
| Registered point cloud | E57, LAS/LAZ or RCP/RCS (Autodesk) |
| 2D as-built drawings | DWG (CAD) |
| BIM model | Revit (RVT) or IFC, at the agreed level of detail |
| Registration and quality report | PDF, with the control used and the registration check |
| Deviation or clash report (when requested) | PDF with colour maps and measured values |
Instruments we use
Capture uses the Leica RTC360 and Trimble X7 terrestrial laser scanners, tied to survey control by Leica and Trimble total stations and GNSS.

Common questions
What is 3D laser scanning used for in construction?
It captures existing conditions or built work as a point cloud, so teams can measure, verify geometry against design, create as-built drawings and produce BIM models without repeated site visits.
Which laser scanners does YAZ use?
YAZ scans with the Leica RTC360 and the Trimble X7, tied to survey control with Leica and Trimble total stations and GNSS.
Can YAZ do laser scanning outside Riyadh?
Yes. YAZ is based in Riyadh and its teams work across Saudi Arabia, including projects in Jeddah, Al Khobar and NEOM. For a scan outside Riyadh, send the location and scope, and the team plans the mobilisation with the quotation.
