How Can I Document School Buildings Quickly and Safely Without Disruption?

Many schools face delays on refurbishments or maintenance because surveys are often postponed until holiday periods. But delays in data mean delays in delivery—and increased costs. How can you get the data you need without disrupting teaching?

At Airey Miller, we offer mobile scanning solutions tailored for education environments. Our SLAM-based tools allow us to survey during evenings, weekends, or half term—capturing buildings quickly, quietly, and safely.

We produce accurate digital models and drawings that enable school leaders, contractors, and designers to collaborate using a shared dataset—saving time during design, planning, and handover.
