At SIAD Studio, our work extends beyond modern infrastructure and into the preservation and sensitive adaptation of the nation’s most cherished heritage sites. Our project at the Oxford Botanic Garden exemplifies how advanced 3D Building Models are crucial tools for managing, maintaining, and planning future works for historically significant structures.

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.

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 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.
