3D Scanning & Modelling for Fire Safety & Compliance

Accurate spatial data is the foundation of effective fire protection planning. At Gunfire, our 3D scanning and modelling services provide high-resolution digital representations of buildings and infrastructure.

These models support fire strategy development, compartmentation planning, and BIM integration, ensuring your fire safety documentation is precise, compliant, and future-proof.

What Is 3D Scanning and Why Does It Matter?

3D scanning uses advanced laser and imaging technology to capture the physical dimensions of a space with high accuracy. This data is then processed into detailed point clouds and converted into usable formats such as CAD drawings or BIM models.

In the context of fire safety, this level of precision is critical. It allows for:

Accurate Mapping
of fire compartments and escape routes.
Retrospective Planning
of fire stopping and cavity barriers.
Integration
with fire strategy drawings and safety case reports.
Improved Coordination
between contractors, designers, and fire engineers.

Our 3D Scanning & Modelling Services

Laser Scanning
We use terrestrial laser scanners to capture millions of data points across internal and external environments. This method is ideal for complex or inaccessible areas and provides a comprehensive digital twin of the built environment.
Photogrammetry
Using high-resolution photography and specialist software, we create 3D models from overlapping images. This is particularly useful for façades, roofs, and heritage structures where non-invasive methods are preferred.
CAD & Revit Modelling
Our team converts scan data into 2D CAD drawings or 3D Revit models, tailored to your project’s needs. These outputs are compatible with architectural, engineering, and fire safety workflows, supporting everything from design to compliance documentation.

Applications in Fire Safety and Compliance

Our 3D scanning and modelling services are used across a wide range of fire protection scenarios, including:

Fire Strategy Development
Ensure your plans are based on accurate, up-to-date building data.
Compartmentation Mapping
Identify and document fire compartments and penetration points.
Golden Thread Documentation
Maintain a clear, auditable digital record of your building’s fire safety features.
Retrospective Planning
Support the design and installation of fire stopping and cavity barriers in existing buildings.
BIM Integration
Collaborate more effectively with stakeholders using shared digital models.
