Challenge SHCG required a consistent, accurate, and digital‑ready record of their campuses. Their existing building information varied in accuracy and format, which created challenges across:

• Space planning and timetabling
• Estate strategy and long‑term maintenance
• Health & safety and compliance documentation
• Capital project planning
• Wayfinding and accessibility improvements
• Without a unified digital record of their estate, decision-making relied heavily on manual surveys, legacy documentation and inconsistent building drawings.

Need for Digital Solution

• Know My Building was engaged to perform a full digital capture of SHCG’s campuses. The service combined high‑precision laser scanning, intelligent data processing, and the creation of measured floor plans and 3D digital twins for each site.

Project Deliverables Comprehensive Campus Scanning

• High‑density LiDAR scanning
• Interiors, circulation spaces, mechanical areas, and teaching rooms
• Accurate capture of complex and older building structures

Measured Floor Plans

• Produced from point‑cloud data
• Delivered in interactive formats
• Standardised layouts aligned with SHCG’s estate management needs

3D Digital Twin Models

• High fidelity, web‑accessible digital twins
• Panoramic visualisation of each space
• Annotation-ready for estates and maintenance teams
• Ideal for H&S walkthroughs, snagging, and project planning

Cloud-Based Access

• Users across estates, curriculum, IT, and facilities gained a single authoritative source of building information
• No specialist software required
• Intuitive, mobile‑friendly access

The Results

• Accurate Standardised Estate Data : Staff can access up-to-date information from any device, enhancing collaboration across departments.
• Digitisation of Documents : The platform digitises building-related documents, replacing paper-based records with electronic files.
• Centralised Storage : All documents are stored centrally, allowing instant retrieval during inspections or emergencies.
• Improved Accessibility : Staff can access up-to-date information from any device, enhancing collaboration across departments.
• Comprehensive Asset Cataloguing : All major assets were catalogued including installation dates and maintenance history for better tracking.
• Predictive Maintenance Enabled
