Switch to 3D Surveys and Save Thousands
3D Point Clouds provided by LARKI will mean all your projects' consultants and trades shouldn't need to do multiple site measure-ups, or deal with missing dimensions and inaccurate 2D surveys. Getting 3D laser scans from LARKI helps to avoid costly delays and variations. For example, eliminate Requests For Information (RFIs) about heights and setbacks of existing conditions.

Make LARKI your go-to choice for 3D laser scanning services - covering all major Australian cities including Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.
Why Choose LARKI as Your 3D Scanning Partner?
As a trusted 3D data, software and service provider, the LARKI team provides our customers with the most innovative and advanced detailed and accurate alternatives to traditional surveying methods of architectural sites. We provide our 3D scanning service and 3D survey data to architects and property developers in Melbourne and Sydney Australia, for projects ranging from infill, retrofit, heritage, alterations and additions, extensions, new houses, townhouses and apartments, to commercial buildings, towers, hospitality, retail, government buildings, churches, schools and universities.
Key Advantages of Choosing LARKI:
Expert Pre-Design Team: Our team comprises architects, surveyors, and software engineers with specialised knowledge of reality capture including terrestrial laser scan surveys (LiDAR), drone data capture, 3D modelling, 3D photo mesh, BIM, feature survey and drafting.
They are dedicated to providing you with the critical site information you need for seamless project execution.
Comprehensive Scanning Services: From pre-design to final inspection and maintenance, LARKI offers a wide range of professional scanning solutions, including terrestrial laser scanning, mobile laser scanning, aerial LiDAR surveys, and drone services. Be it for scanning to see sewer, stormwater and other pipes in trenches before the slab goes down, then scan again for slab flatness assessments, then a rough-in scan to see water, and conduits in the frame before sheets go on, to do ceiling scans to see MEP including ductwork, and as built scans at the end of the project for facility management.
Quick and Accurate 3D Surveys: With a proven track record of delivering quick and precise 3D surveys, LARKI ensures that your projects are executed with the highest level of precision, from the initial design stage to the final implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Ordering & Payment
Where and how do I get detailed 3D models?
Order, pay and download easily from the LARKI platform – Here.
Are 3D city models expensive?
Get Streetscape and Aerial 3D Point Clouds for free initially, then pay only hundreds of dollars for larger areas. Plus, access free Google High-res 3D Tiles on the LARKI platform.
Are 3D scanning services upfront costs expensive?
Get a mm-accurate and up-to-date Tripod 3D scan for a similar price to: a 2D survey and measure-ups.
How do I convince my client of the value?
Without 3D scan capture services, clients risk costly delays, site call-out fees, and variations.
Can my client pay for it directly?
Yes, billing can be separated so the property owner/developer pays for the scan, while architects/engineers cover BIM as part of their fee.
Software & Formats
Is the software hard to use?
The LARKI Digital Twin platform is an intuitive web app that is easy to navigate.
Do I need special software to view point clouds?
No, you can view and measure point clouds on the LARKI 3D Viewer.
Can I get BIM?
Yes, we provide accurate existing condition BIM for you, derived from the 3D scans.
Do you provide 2D feature plans?
Yes, and they are more accurate as they are based on 3D laser scans.
Can I use LARKI data in my preferred software?
Yes, you can download optimised point clouds for Revit, ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, Bentley, SketchUp, Rhino, AutoCAD and more.
Do you offer high-res virtual tours?
Yes, like Matterport and Google Streetview, you can step into 360-degree photos for an interactive experience.
Accuracy, Reliability & Compliance
Are surveys done by professionals with insurance?
Yes, licensed/registered surveyors handle critical aspects, and LARKI has $10M Professional Indemnity and $20M Public Liability Insurance.
How accurate is the data?
LARKI can provide information accurate to under 20mm when required.
Can I submit this data for council approvals?
Yes, where requested, we ensure the information meets authority requirements.
Problems with Traditional 2D Surveys
Are 2D feature surveys missing detail?
LARKI’s best point clouds are up to 30 million times higher resolution, capturing all visible details.
Are 2D surveys inaccurate?
Yes, 2D surveys by their nature are more diagrammatic than accurate. 3D Point clouds provide a much more precise representation of existing conditions.
Do I still have to visit the site multiple times to do measure-ups?
No, you can measure remotely using LARKI’s 3D point clouds.
Does it take time to interpret surveys?
No interpretation is needed. LARKI’s point clouds are an accurate visual representation of reality, the same way you experience the real world – in high resolution 3D.
Do I still need to do the existing condition modeling/drafting?
No, LARKI can handle scan-to-BIM or scan-to-plan services for you.
Problems Using Point Clouds
Do I need to do 3D scan capture and processing of point clouds myself?
No, LARKI handles the entire process from scanning to processing to providing the files ready to view and measure on a 3D Viewer web app. We can provide clean, light, and easy-to-use point clouds.
Are point cloud files too large?
LARKI optimises files to be under 1GB for easy use.
Are point clouds hard to use?
No, LARKI can provide point clouds that are: clean, classified into layers, aligned to MGA and AHD; are easy to navigate around on the LARKI Digital Twin platform; and are optimised for your BIM software.
Do you provide accurate point clouds for architecture and engineering?
We use >A$100K Leica 3D scanners and experienced professionals to ensure sufficiently detailed, accurate and precise point clouds for use by AECO professionals.
