Your request for quotation does not need to be complete. It is enough to tell us what area you want to document, how the data will be used and when it is needed. If all the details are not yet known, our specialist will help refine the project scope and implementation method.
What information do we need for a laser scanning quotation?
For a quotation, we need preliminary information about the area to be scanned, the site location, intended use, required accuracy, schedule and desired delivery formats. Useful source material includes floor plans, area maps, photographs, existing scan data and information about any special safety requirements.
If the site has an existing coordinate system or control point network, it is worth mentioning this in the request for quotation. If you are unsure about the reliability of the coordinate system, we can assess whether it needs to be checked, updated or built as part of the project.
If all information is not yet clear, we can help define the project scope together. The buyer does not need to choose the scanning method in advance, as long as the intended use and expected outcome are described as clearly as possible.

Request for quotation checklist
A good request for quotation should include at least the following:
- the name of the enquiring company and contact person
- a short description of the site and the project objective
- the size and location of the area to be scanned
- the relationship between indoor and outdoor areas
- the intended use of the data
- the required measurement accuracy or accuracy need
- site complexity, such as levels, pipework, equipment and blind spots
- any existing coordinate system or control points
- schedule, deadline or scanning days linked to a shutdown
- safety, permit and induction requirements
- desired delivery formats
- whether 3D modelling, a surface model, reports or analyses are needed
- whether the data should be taken into Reality Twin now or later
- whether the project includes requirements related to confidentiality, access rights or information security
Requesting a quotation does not obligate you to proceed with the project. We value open communication also when you only want to understand the preliminary cost level or compare different implementation options.
Price of a laser scanning project
The price of a laser scanning project is always individual, because sites and intended uses differ. The price is affected by factors such as the size of the area to be scanned, site complexity, required accuracy, selected scanning method, number of scanning stations, location, safety requirements and scope of post-processing.
Delivery formats also affect the price. A point cloud alone is a different scope of delivery than a package that includes a surface model, 3D modelling, analyses, reports, building a coordinate system or a Reality Twin environment.
You can calculate a preliminary price estimate on our website using the price estimate calculator. The calculator gives an indicative estimate of the project scope and cost level. A precise quotation is always prepared based on the project source information and the agreed delivery.

What is included in a laser scanning project?
A laser scanning project typically includes technical project definition, fieldwork planning, selection of the required methods, scanning, data processing and delivery of the data in the agreed format.
Before fieldwork, we review the areas to be scanned, required accuracy, access permits, safety requirements, working time and any site-specific restrictions. We also agree who will act as the customer’s contact person during the fieldwork and how possible changes will be decided.
During fieldwork, the agreed scanning or measurement is carried out. This may include traditional laser scanning, mobile laser scanning, drone imaging and photogrammetry, ground-penetrating radar, coordinate and control point surveying, or a combination of these.
After fieldwork, the raw data is processed, scans are combined, the data is connected to a coordinate system where needed and exported into the agreed delivery formats. When needed, we can also produce surface models, 3D models, sections, reports, analyses or a Reality Twin environment.
Employee travel costs are added to the price according to actual costs, unless otherwise agreed for the project. Additional services, such as wider 3D modelling, building a coordinate system, special formats, analyses or integrations, are defined separately in the quotation.

What happens after the request for quotation?
You can also contact us before submitting a request for quotation. We are happy to discuss the available options and the services we provide.
When you send a request for quotation, we review the source information you have provided and assess whether it is sufficient for preparing a quotation. If needed, we will ask for additional details about the area boundary, intended use, accuracy, safety requirements or delivery formats.
After this, we propose an implementation method suited to the project’s needs. This may be a single method or a hybrid implementation combining, for example, mobile laser scanning, tripod laser scanning, drone imaging, coordinate measurement and post-processing.
You will receive a quotation describing the project content, deliverables, schedule estimate, price and any limitations. Once the quotation is approved, we agree the fieldwork date, contact persons, permit procedures and other practical arrangements.
When should you contact us?
Contact us as soon as you know that up-to-date 3D data is needed from an industrial environment. The project does not need to be fully defined yet. The earlier the discussion begins, the better we can help you select the right method, scope and delivery format.
Laser scanning is worth considering especially before modification design, shutdowns, equipment installation, pipework design, demolition work, layout changes, safety planning or in situations where old drawings no longer match reality.
If the goal is to use the data in future projects as well, it is worth discussing the coordinate system, delivery formats and possible Reality Twin use at the same time. This allows the first project to form a basis for later documentation, design and maintenance.
Request a Quotation
Request a quotation from us using the form, by emailing or by contacting our sales team. We will get back to you to clarify the scope and needs of your project. If you would like a preliminary estimate first, you can use the price estimate calculator before submitting your request for quotation.
Contact us, and let’s discuss how we can help you achieve the best results. We are also happy to answer any related questions and help assess the cost-effectiveness and benefits of different laser scanning methods for your specific project.
