Reality, Captured

Step inside your site

3D capture for AECO, survey, film & VFX, heritage, and more

At BuildingReality, we capture buildings, sites and objects as photoreal 3D models and environments you can explore, measure and keep.

Captured with care and an eye for detail, for heritage, architecture, infrastructure, property and film

  • An aerial view of an old stone tower with a tall chimney, surrounded by grassy paths and shrubbery.

    3D For Heritage

    Capture a heritage asset as a 3D photo-realistic record for understanding and interpretation or as an accurate, scaled record of listed and at-risk fabric for repair and archive .

  • 3D For Infrastructure & Inspection

    Record and inspect detailed, controlled or hard-to-reach areas remotely. Captured as an accurate, measurable mesh to work from, or a photoreal Gaussian Splat that renders ultra fine detail

  • 3D Environments For Film, TV & VFX

    Photoreal capture of real locations using Gaussian Splatting to scout shots, or to use as backplates and environments in production.

  • 3D for Marketing & Property

    Show a building or high-end property as a photoreal model people can move through, supplementing or replacing stills and drone video.

  • 3D Wide-Area Capture

    Large gaussian splat models of whole sites, streets or landscapes in one model, showing how a place sits in its surroundings, for planning, development and public engagement

  • 3D for Objects & Detail

    Specialist close-range photogrammetry capture of objects, sculpture or building details such as carvings, as a precise 3D record for study, repair and recreation, conservation or display.

The difference you will experience

  • Magnifying glass with a plus sign inside it.

    You’ll see real detail

    Hi-res cameras and advanced drones allow us to capture exceptional detail from the ground or above.

  • Clock showing 3:00.

    You’ll save time

    Fewer site visits. Align dispersed teams and stakeholders remotely, inspect an asset from your desktop or tablet.

  • Icon of a globe with puzzle pieces.

    You can use it anywhere

    Host on the web, intranet or offline. No platform lock-in, and your deliverables are yours to keep.

  • A black background with a white circular camera shutter icon

    Photographer’s eye

    Image-quality-first approach with architectural standard planning and capture, so your space looks its best.

Types Of Capture

  • An aerial view of an old stone tower with a tall chimney, surrounded by grassy paths and shrubbery.

    Gaussian Splatting

    A Gaussian Splat renders the environment exceptionally well, including lighting, sky and surrounding landscape, along with fine detail such as vegetation. It can also render transparent surfaces like glass. This makes it well suited to work where visualisation is the main objective.

    For measuring, a photogrammetric mesh can be used instead or alongside.

  • Photogrammetry

    A photogrammetry mesh captures real, scaled geometry you can measure and work from, accurate to the building or site as it stands and ready to export to design software. This makes it well suited to work where measurement and accuracy are the main objective.

    For photorealistic visualisation, a Gaussian Splat can be used instead or alongside.

How we capture

  • Aerial 3D capture

    From a single building to a whole estate, we capture sites from the air to show how a place sits in its surroundings and to reach the angles you cannot see from the ground. Ideal for surveys, inspections, heritage records, VFX, marketing and planning.

  • Ground 3D capture

    For interiors, objects and anything a drone cannot reach, we capture at ground level, from whole sites & rooms to a single artefact. Suited to condition records, heritage and object documentation, inspection and detailed survey work.
