Pointscene
TitleCustomized solutions for your projects
Pointscene is a cloud-based reality mapping solution for making data-driven decisions in ever-changing construction environments and improving a project's profitability.
The Pointscene platform takes your reality mapping implementation to the next level by eliminating common data management issues. It bundles and connects digital construction site data directly to your project software, enabling easy integration into virtually any digital workflow. The intuitive web application gives stakeholders easy access to data sets that you can use as needed.
When project stakeholders have easy access to reality mapping data in their daily work, they get a better overview of the situation in all phases and areas of the project. This makes it possible to make data-driven decisions, react to unforeseen events, monitor progress, increase productivity on site and reduce rework. This saves you time and money on the most complex and rapidly evolving projects.
Pointscene is not only suitable for large companies, but also for small teams and offers tailor-made service solutions, for example for site managers, BIM managers and surveyors in infrastructure construction.

TitleAdvantages for construction site management
Improved reality mapping
Pointscene enables the cost-effective digitization of buildings, facilities, construction sites and more with modern measurement methods such as drones and laser scans, so you can take full advantage of reality mapping data in your project.
Faster communication
Pointscene automatically transfers key project information between the applications used by project stakeholders, such as the client, designer, contractor and site manager, significantly speeding up communication on complex projects.
Optimized construction site management
With reality mapping data in their applications, stakeholders can better manage temporary work structures, construction materials and quantities, site logistics and much more.
Easy access to data over time
When used systematically, Pointscene provides a digital history of project progress for use during and after the construction process.
TitleDrone Maps module by Pointscene
UAV mapping for construction management
Pointscene has developed a UAV mapping module for construction, BIM and surveying professionals that enables precise orthophotos and surface models. Users can upload and automatically process aerial drone photos via drag & drop. The module supports RTK drones for high accuracy, provides measurement tools and enables easy data sharing and integration into existing workflows.
TitleFor whom is Pointscene
Target user group
Pointscene is suitable for both small teams and large companies and offers precise service solutions, especially for site managers, BIM managers and surveyors in the field of infrastructure construction and BIM coordinators.
Project managers
A better awareness of the situation improves productivity on the construction site. You can also avoid mistakes that could otherwise lead to costly rework. Of course, there are always surprises, but Pointscene gives you the knowledge you need to make better-prepared decisions.
BIM coordinators
Bring the construction site to your desk. Track progress on site with UAV imagery and laser scanning data without having to visit the site regularly. Pointscene fully integrates with more than 50 of the most commonly used tools, both in the field and in the office, so you can fully monitor your construction site.
Surveyors
Share and manage your survey data. Share your drone and laser scan data with all project stakeholders in a user-friendly browser-based environment. Use the latest orthophotos as a background map in your surveying software.
Developers
Close the gap between the field and the office. Pointscene facilitates real-time communication and file sharing between all project stakeholders while keeping all information in one place. Never again will you find yourself in a situation where only one person has the key to your site data.
TitlePointscene - A cloud-based solution
The Pointscene software is a cloud-based solution developed specifically for construction, BIM and surveying professionals. No specific hardware requirements are necessary on the user side to make the best use of Pointscene, as it is a web-based application. This means that you only need a modern web browser and a stable internet connection to access Pointscene's features.
Pointscene is designed to process data from various reality capture technologies such as drone photogrammetry, 360° imagery and laser scanning and make it available in an easily accessible web interface. The software allows you to use orthophotos, point clouds and design files to calculate quantities and volumes, check height differences and document site progress (Pointscene) (Pointscene).
Pointscene also offers special data connectors for the integration and use of the data, which enable a direct connection to common construction and planning software solutions such as Autodesk Civil 3D, Trimble Connect and Infrakit.
TitleKeeping an eye on everything with reality mapping
Data compatibility
The Pointscene web application supports a range of reality mapping data types, including 3D point clouds, orthophotos, surface models, 360° images and geo-referenced images.
- Point clouds: LAS, LAZ, E57
- Orthophotos: TIF (+TFW), JP2/JPG + JGW, PNG + PGW
- Surface models: TIF (+TFW), LandXML
- Drafts: LandXML/Inframodel (surfaces), IFC 2x3
- 360° images: equirectangular projection 2:1, metadata csv file
- Images: georeferenced, e.g. with mobile phone or drone
- Plans/drawings (.DWG, .DXF etc.) can be imported as raster data in 2D if they are converted to the correct format (e.g. Geotiff). Pointscene can support this requirement as an additional manual conversion service.
Browser support
The web-based application works in all modern web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) both on the desktop and on mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets.
