Data capture with AIM

Fast, flexible, and built to fit the way you work

Updated over 7 months ago

AIM supports multiple capture methods—designed to suit a range of teams, environments, and levels of accuracy—while integrating seamlessly into your existing workflows. Whether you’re on a tight schedule, need survey-grade outputs, or want full visual context for decision-making, AIM has you covered.

Captured data flows directly into the AIM platform, where it becomes an interactive digital model—ready to explore, measure, tag, and share.

Flexible Capture Options

AIM Visualise

Visual site capture with zero disruption to your workflow

AIM Visualise 360 empowers your team to enhance regular site visits by quickly capturing 360° imagery using compact, easy-to-use cameras. With minimal training, your team can build a full visual model of any property in minutes—without changing how you currently work.

"No Drone, No Problem" AIM Visualise is perfect for indoor spaces, external areas, and anywhere drone access is restricted and can be viewed using extendable pole.

Ideal for:

  • Existing site visits

  • Void inspections

  • Retrofit tracking

  • EPC evidence

  • General condition documentation

Key Benefits:

  • Works alongside existing workflows

  • Simple 360° capture - no licenses or specialists required

  • Visual walkthroughs available in AIM

  • Share with contractors, clients, or colleagues via secure link

  • Tag issues, notes, or documents directly in the model

AIM Digitise

Survey-grade scanning when accuracy matters

When precision is critical, AIM Digitise delivers. Our network of qualified surveyors uses laser scanning technology (LiDAR) to capture highly accurate spatial data, perfect for technical design, retrofit planning, and compliance-driven projects.

Key Benefits:

  • Millimetre-accurate point clouds

  • Ideal for measured building surveys and complex layouts

  • Outputs ready for Revit, AutoCAD, IFC and PDF formats

Drone Capture

Capture external assets and hard-to-reach places

For sites where elevated or aerial views are essential, AIM supports drone capture to complement your 360° and laser scan data. Drones provide the perfect overview of roofs, tall buildings, external façades, and inaccessible terrain.

Key Benefits:

  • Full 360° coverage inside and out

  • High-res imagery and aerial context

  • Combine with AIM Visualise or Digitise for full-site accuracy

  • Great for condition assessments, facade inspections, Land surveys, and construction monitoring

Integrated Into the AIM Platform

No matter how you capture data, everything comes together in AIM:

  1. Data is uploaded and assigned to the correct site

  2. A digital model is generated, instantly accessible online

  3. You can:

    • Navigate the site remotely

    • Add tags, documents, and notes

    • Take measurements

    • Place orders for outputs (floorplans, Revit models, EPC dashboards)

    • Share the model securely with stakeholders
