Practical digital solutions for construction & engineering projects.

Barcon Scan provides 3D scanning and point-cloud services from early planning and design through construction, quality control and as-built capture. Barcon Apps develops practical software for smaller project and construction teams.

Point-cloud capture of an existing plantroom with pipework, equipment and services

Digital information that helps projects move forward.

Barcon is organised around two focused service lines: Barcon Scan for 3D scanning and point-cloud services, and Barcon Apps for practical software. Both are shaped around useful information and straightforward workflows.

BARCON SCAN
3D scanning & point clouds

Capture existing conditions with purpose.

Scan buildings, plantrooms, equipment areas and project environments to support planning, renovation, engineering design, coordination, quality-control workflows and as-built records.

BARCON APPS
Construction software

Focused tools for smaller teams.

Practical software shaped around construction and project workflows, with an emphasis on clarity, simplicity and avoiding unnecessary enterprise complexity.

Barcon Scan · across the project lifecycle

Before. During. After.

3D scanning can support different phases of a project — from documenting existing conditions before design begins, through delivery and quality checks, to final as-built capture.

01 · BEFORE DESIGN

Understand existing conditions.

Capture existing buildings, plant, services and site geometry to support planning, feasibility, renovation, refurbishment, seismic-strengthening design, BIM and future capital projects.

02 · DURING DELIVERY

Support coordination and quality control.

Provide current site information for dimensional checking, installation review, coordination and project quality workflows while construction is progressing.

03 · AFTER COMPLETION

Record what was built.

Capture completed conditions to support as-built records, maintenance planning, future alterations and subsequent capital projects.

Why capture digitally?

Better information, earlier — with less disruption.

The value of scanning is not simply producing a point cloud. It is giving the project team useful site information at the stage when it can help them plan, coordinate and make decisions.

Support faster project decisions

Clear existing-condition information can reduce uncertainty and help design and coordination decisions progress with greater confidence.

Minimise operational disruption

Where access and site safety conditions allow, scanning can often be completed while plant and facilities remain operational, reducing shutdown requirements and unnecessary production disruption.

Capture once, use through the project

A well-planned capture can become a shared reference for architects, engineers, contractors, BIM teams, project managers and asset owners.

Useful for complex existing environments

Plantrooms, equipment areas and service-dense spaces can be captured to give design and project teams a digital reference for future work.

Barcon Apps

Smaller tools for specific construction workflows.

Barcon Apps focuses on practical software for specific construction and project workflows without the overhead of large enterprise platforms. The examples below show current Barcon application interfaces.

About Barcon

Practical experience from design through delivery.

Barcon brings more than 15 years of experience across construction and manufacturing environments, spanning detailed design and BIM, manufacturing, coordination and site delivery.

With more than 10 years working with 3D scanning and point-cloud data in project workflows, the process starts by understanding what information the project team needs, what decisions it must support, and how the data will be used after capture.

The aim is not simply to produce a point cloud. It is to provide useful project information that fits the way architects, engineers, contractors, BIM teams, project managers and asset owners actually work.

Have a project where better site information could help?

Tell Barcon what you are planning, designing or delivering and we can discuss whether Barcon Scan, point-cloud information or one of the Barcon Apps tools is a practical fit.
