Reality capture isn't just for 'As-Builts'......
​
At MDS Digital we aim to enhance construction accuracy and lifecycle asset integrity by deploying high-resolution SLAM (simultaneous localisation and mapping) scanning and structured digital-engineering methodologies throughout the build process. Through continuous spatial capture, deviation analysis, and early non-compliance detection, we provide project teams with validated, data-rich models that improve coordination, minimise rework, and ensure that built assets align with design, regulatory, and FM requirements.
NavVis MLX SLAM scanner
At MDS Digital, the NavVis MLX is central to our reality-capture workflow. Its advanced SLAM technology allows us to scan large, complex construction environments quickly and with high spatial accuracy, capturing detailed point clouds and panoramic imagery in a single pass. This gives project teams a reliable, real-time view of site conditions at any stage of the build.
Processed through NavVis IVION, each scan becomes a georeferenced, high-fidelity digital twin that integrates seamlessly with BIM platforms such as Revit, Navisworks, and Revizto. We use this data to verify installations, detect non-compliances, and highlight deviations from the design model before they escalate into costly rework.

For building owners and facilities teams, the MLX data becomes a long-term asset. By delivering a highly accurate as-built digital twin with embedded imagery and location-based metadata, MDS Digital provides a reliable source of truth for future refurbishments, maintenance planning, and asset governance. The result is a measurable reduction in rework, increased site efficiency, and greater certainty across the entire lifecycle of the building.
