Use 3D Laser For Best Possible Barn Conversion

Preparation is of paramount importance in barn conversion, as it might be the case with other construction works, as we would be working with an older, perhaps fragile, building. It is very tempting to start building as the overall structure is intact. However, to be safe, you need to check a few facts first. One should get a survey done to establish detailed dimension. That drawing will help you to be ready when you start to work on the structure and add additional materials.

3D Laser scanning is one of the best ways to get the survey done, an extremely inexpensive and fast way of gathering every data you need. The survey gathers highly detailed data and all the data can be collected and accessed remotely. Thus, no damage is done to the building structure.

One of the things to consider while starting your barn conversion is the timber frame and how much out of crooked they are. The Laser scan comes handy as it is accurate to the millimetre and any irregular timber spacing on the ceiling would be easily captured. Conducting this survey, especially with a gap of couple of months in between, would reveal the movement of the building as well. This will tell the builder of the subsidence. Agencies doing barn conversion in Essex employ this technique often.

3D Laser scanning is a great way of ensuring that the existing brickworks or ornate details can be maintained so that the builder can restore the property like it originally was.
