Is 3D Laser Scanning Too Expensive? Myth vs Real Value

Why this article matters:
Think 3D scanning is overkill for your project? Let’s break down the real cost—and show how it actually saves you money, time, and headaches.

📍 Where does this myth come from?Most people still associate 3D laser scanning with big budgets, industrial sites, and complicated tech. A few years ago, that was true.Today, it’s a standard tool for architects, engineers, builders—and even private homeowners.

So… how much does it really cost?

Typical pricing:
⦿ A realistic starting point is around €400–600, depending on project complexity.⦿ Industrial site: from €2/m²⦿ Full BIM model + CAD drawings: customized per project
💡 We also offer scanning subscriptions — a smart way to spread costs and keep your building data always up to date.

What’s included?

With every 3D scan, you get:

⦿ On-site work by a certified scanning expert
⦿ Top-tier equipment (Leica, Faro, etc.)
⦿ Clean, accurate point cloud
⦿ Files in DWG / RVT / IFC / PDF / E57 formats
⦿ Full support + consultation
⦿ Secure cloud storage for your project
⦿ No hidden fees. No tech headaches.

How scanning actually saves you money

Real examples of what it helps you avoid:

Wrong ceiling height → Custom furniture won’t fit → €2,000 lost

10 cm error in layout → Stairs redesigned from scratch

Construction team on hold → lost days = lost money

Project: Factory in Sweden, 2024

Real-world example

Scope: Renovation based on old 1990s blueprints
What the scan revealed:
Structural columns off by up to 7 cm
Some walls had been removed entirely
Ventilation system was relocated
✅ Thanks to the scan, the engineering team avoided design errors and saved over €12,000 in potential delays and rebuilds.

FAQ – Common Questions

  • Do I need a full 3D model?

    → No. You can order just what you need: point cloud, floor plans, sections, etc.

  • Can I use the files in AutoCAD or Revit?

    → Yes. We deliver in all standard formats, ready to import.

  • Do you offer discounts for returning clients?

    → Definitely. We offer package pricing and monthly scanning subscriptions.

✅ The bottom line
3D scanning isn’t an expense. It’s a smart decision.
It lets you see exactly what’s on site, avoid mistakes, and move forward with confidence. In 90% of cases, it pays for itself before construction even begins.
