At SIAD Studio, our mission is to redefine how complex construction and refurbishment projects are initiated and executed, replacing guesswork with precision. Our work at St Michael's Hospital in Bristol exemplifies this approach, showcasing the indispensable value of a comprehensive, accurate 3D Building Model for large-scale medical facilities.

At SIAD Studio, we believe in the power of accurate 3D information to drive design efficiency, and our recent project at the John Radcliffe Hospital roof survey in Oxford is a prime example. This project, conducted during one of the warmest periods of the year, provided critical, high-resolution scan data to the Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) design team. Our objective was clear: to deliver precise, comprehensive spatial data to support the re-purposing of the roof space wit

As a firm specialising in 3D asset management and data services for the built environment, we at SIAD Studio see the benefits of Building Information Modelling (BIM) as absolutely fundamental to the success and profitability of modern architectural practices in the UK.

At SIAD Studio, we are experts in transforming the built environment into high-precision, actionable digital assets. Our work bridges the past and the future, and we are incredibly proud to have partnered with the team at the Liverpool Maritime Museum, due to reopen in 2029, a magnificent Grade I listed building at the heart of the Albert Dock, to begin a project that will safeguard its legacy and revolutionise its future.

At SIAD Studio, we understand that the modern construction and architecture industries are fundamentally data-driven. The shift toward Building Information Modelling (BIM), the reliance on laser-scanned surveys, and the development of sophisticated digital twins have generated an unprecedented volume of complex 3D data. For a firm to operate efficiently and minimise risk, this invaluable information cannot simply be stored on a generic cloud server or in disconnected local dr

At SIAD Studio, we specialise in the capture and creation of highly accurate 3D building models for some of the UK’s most significant large-scale construction projects and cherished heritage sites. Our work is not simply about producing visualisations; it’s about creating a sophisticated digital twin—a millimetre-accurate data set that underpins every stage of a building’s lifecycle, from initial planning to long-term facilities management.

As a UK provider of 3D Point Cloud services, the team at SIAD Studio have seen first-hand how laser scanning technology is revolutionising the UK construction industry. Traditional surveying methods are simply no match for the speed, accuracy, and sheer volume of data that a 3D Point Cloud can deliver. From intricate heritage refurbishments to complex new-build projects, this technology is now an indispensable tool for architects, engineers, and contractors across the country

From our perspective at SIAD Studio, the video showcasing the Helicon Building in London is a powerful testament to the precision and versatility of our 3D building models. This short video serves as an ideal example of the detail we capture and the practical applications of our work. It's more than just a model; it's a comprehensive digital representation that allows for a layered understanding of a structure.

At SIAD Studio, we believe that Building Information Modelling (BIM) is not merely a technological advancement; it's a profound paradigm shift, fundamentally reshaping the landscape of the UK construction industry. As a company dedicated to providing comprehensive BIM services for construction projects across the UK, we've witnessed first hand the transformative power of this collaborative process. BIM is, at its core, a way of working together, a process for creating and man
