Your asset, rebuilt
in high-resolution 3D.

A photogrammetry survey turns thousands of overlapping photographs into an accurate, high-resolution 3D model of a real asset. Software matches features across the images to reconstruct geometry, producing a photo-real textured mesh, a dense point cloud and scaled orthophotos. With surveyed ground control, the model becomes measurable to survey standards.

With proper control, very. Norelo coordinates ground control points by GNSS and total station, processes the model against them, and verifies the result with independent checkpoints, so accuracy is demonstrated, not assumed. Typical building models are accurate to centimetre level or better, with texture detail down to sub-millimetre, and we agree the accuracy requirement with you at the scoping stage.

Photogrammetry reconstructs 3D geometry from photographs, so it captures true colour and texture at very high resolution, ideal for inspection, façades and heritage. LiDAR measures geometry directly with laser pulses, which excels in low light, dense interiors and complex plant. They complement each other, and Norelo offers both, see our LiDAR survey page, and often combines them on one project.

DJI Matrice series drones for roofs, elevations and structures, flown under our CAA Operational Authorisation, plus calibrated handheld cameras for interiors, undercrofts and detail beyond the drone’s reach. Both feed the same controlled model.

Yes, that’s the point. Because the model is scaled and verified against surveyed ground control, you can take real dimensions, areas and extents directly from it, in the browser viewer or in your own software from the delivered mesh and point cloud.

No software, no downloads. Your model is streamed to any modern browser at full resolution, on desktop, tablet or phone, through a simple share link, exactly like the live examples on this page. Source files (OBJ, FBX, glTF, LAS, E57) are also delivered for teams who want the data in their own tools.

Yes, it’s one of its strongest uses. The model gives you the entire roof, façade or structure in one measurable record: locate defects in context, measure their extent, compare captures over time, and share a link instead of a folder of photos. For close-up 4K defect imagery alongside the model, see our drone inspection service.

It depends on the size of the asset, the resolution required and the outputs you need. Capture is fast, most buildings are photographed in a single visit, and we return a fixed, itemised quote, usually within one working day. See our pricing approach.

Capture typically takes a few hours to a day on site. Processing and quality checks usually follow within days, with the browser model published first and full deliverables issued through the portal behind it. Programmes are confirmed in your quote.

Yes, photogrammetry is completely non-contact, which makes it ideal for fragile historic fabric, and the photo-real texture records tool marks, carving and decay that geometry alone misses. See our heritage & conservation work.

Yes. Models and source data are archived, so a future recapture can be compared directly against the baseline, invaluable for movement, decay and repair monitoring, or a dispute long after the site has changed.
