Why VDE - Surveying buildings. Providing models. Since 2010.

A family-owned business since 1997. Laser scanning since 2010—and nothing else since then. What sets us apart from others isn't the scanner. It's the way we work.

Focus Instead of Breadth

Other firms cover everything. We’ve chosen a different path.

Building surveying, 3D models, 2D plans—that’s our specialty. No geomatics, no side projects. When you’ve been doing the same thing for 15 years, you know every pitfall.

Expertise that goes deep, not wide
Processes that work flawlessly—because they’ve been tested hundreds of times
Fewer mistakes, because true routine doesn’t need theory.
More than 2,000 projects since 2010

Broad experience sounds good. Deep experience delivers results.

Processes, Not People

In many offices, a project stands or falls with a single person. Not at VDE.

Every project goes through the same steps: clear responsibilities, defined processes, structured preparation—long before the first scanner is set up on site.

What runs smoothly during the on-site survey has been thoroughly planned in advance. Improvisation costs time. And usually money, too.

Others need three appointments. We need just one.

In use since 2010. Today, with four barcode scanners—even large objects can be captured in a single pass.
What this means in practice:

Fewer on-site appointments—less effort on your part
Delivery dates down to the day, easily scheduled into your workflow
Models in ArchiCAD, Revit, Allplan, or Vectorworks—native, not converted
Ready for immediate further processing, without any intermediate steps

A point cloud isn’t the end result. The model that runs in your system is.

One team. One process. One result.

Surveying, data processing, modeling—all under one roof. No external modelers, no interface issues, no need to explain things to the next service provider.
The process at VDE:

On-site survey by our team
In-house point cloud processing
Modeling in our own BIM center
Delivery in your format—by the agreed-upon deadline, at the agreed-upon price

One point of contact. No loose ends.

Same name since 1997. Same approach.

We’re committed to long-term partnerships—and that’s reflected not in promises, but in on-time delivery, models that fit, and a phone that’s always answered.

More than 2,000 projects since 2010. Many of them with the same regular clients and partners.
