01Surveying & Construction Geomatics
Construction surveying is the measurement work that sets a building, road or structure out on the ground and checks it against the design as it is built.
3D laser scanning and Scan to BIM in Riyadh
3D laser scanning captures an existing building or site as a dense point cloud of millions of measured points. Scan to BIM turns that point cloud into a Revit or IFC model. YAZ Development scans with the Leica RTC360 and delivers registered data and models for projects in Riyadh and across Saudi Arabia.

9services in this area What we cover
- Documenting existing conditions before renovation, extension or retrofit
- Checking built geometry against design: flatness, verticality, clashes
- Producing Revit, IFC and CAD documentation from scan data
- Combining scan, survey and GIS data in one coordinate system (Geo-BIM)
- Keeping a dated digital record of a site or asset (reality capture and digital twins)
What you receive
Registered point clouds in E57, RCP and LAS, registration and quality reports, CAD drawings, and Revit or IFC models, according to the scope agreed with you.
Capture uses the Leica RTC360 and Trimble X7 terrestrial laser scanners, tied to survey control by Leica and Trimble total stations and GNSS.
Services in this area
01 3D Laser Scanning 3D laser scanning measures a site or building as millions of points in minutes, producing a point cloud that engineers can measure from. 
02 Point Cloud Processing & Registration Point cloud processing joins individual laser scans into one registered, cleaned dataset that can be measured and modelled from. 
03 Scan to BIM Scan to BIM converts a 3D laser scan of an existing building into a BIM model, usually in Revit or IFC. 
04 BIM Modeling & Coordination BIM modeling builds a coordinated 3D model with data attached to each element. 
05 Digital Twins & Reality Capture Reality capture records a site or asset as accurate 3D data. 
06 Geo-BIM Integration Geo-BIM integration places BIM models in real-world coordinates alongside GIS and survey data, so buildings and their surroundings can be used together. - 07 Smart City & AI Geospatial Analytics Smart city geospatial work turns spatial data, such as scans, surveys and maps, into information that city and asset teams can analyse.
08 Scan to CAD Scan to CAD produces 2D drawings, plans, sections and elevations from a 3D laser scan. 
09 MEP Laser Scanning & Clash Detection MEP laser scanning captures the pipes, ducts and cable routes inside a building, so new design can be checked for clashes against what is really there.

Common questions
What is Scan to BIM?
Scan to BIM is the process of converting a 3D laser scan (point cloud) of an existing building into an intelligent BIM model, usually in Revit or IFC, that engineers can use for design, coordination and facility records.
Which companies offer 3D laser scanning in Riyadh?
YAZ Development offers 3D laser scanning and Scan to BIM from Riyadh using the Leica RTC360, with registered E57, RCP and LAS point clouds and Revit or IFC models. Ask any provider for sample deliverables and the equipment used.
