Can I Reuse My Survey Data for Multiple Stages of a Project?

9 Jun

In today’s housing and public sector projects, efficiency is everything. Time is tight, budgets are squeezed, and decisions need to be made quickly. That’s why clients across housing associations, local authorities and development teams are asking: can I get more value from my survey data?

The answer is yes—with the right scanning approach.

At Airey Miller Surveys, we help clients get more out of every scan. Our laser scanning and SLAM-based surveying provides rich data that’s not just for planning—but for design, compliance, documentation, and long-term asset management too.

What Does a Single Scan Give You?

With one high-resolution site or building scan, you can create:

2D floor plans for layouts, leasing or planning
3D BIM models for design coordination
As-built records for handover and O&M manuals
Fire safety drawings and evacuation strategies
Data for long-term facilities and asset management

Why It Matters

1. Avoid Repeated Site Visits

If your data is accurate and detailed enough, you don’t need to send surveyors out multiple times—saving cost and disruption.

2. Keep Everyone Aligned

Designers, contractors, asset managers and compliance teams can all work from the same trusted source of data.

3. Future-Proof Your Information

With housing safety regulations evolving, having accurate digital records helps you adapt, respond and stay compliant.
