We combine technical precision with aesthetic brilliance to create timeless value for architecture and real estate. At elbcontor, 3D surveys are transformed into elegant models, allowing new perspectives to evolve from static construction plans. Precise. Detailed. Multidimensional.
Within the framework of its nationwide presence, McDonald’s is set to develop additional spaces. To this end, elbcontor surveys the (…)interiors of historic and contemporary buildings across several German states, producing floor plans, sections, and elevations that provide a precise foundation for architects – for the next stage in a building’s lifecycle.
elbcontor has been tasked by Technische Universität Dresden with surveying a historic hunting lodge and creating architectural drawings. Located in (…)Tharandter Wald, this cultural monument — whose origins trace back to the 13th century — is set to be transformed into a conference center. We are honoured to contribute to this with graphic excellence.
We have been commissioned to create a photorealistic 3D representation of the renowned Villa am Waldpark. Both the mansion, built (…)in 1874, and its expansive 10,000 m² estate — including a park with sculptures, stream, mature trees, and a coach house — will be surveyed by elbcontor and transformed into an elaborate architectural model.
The beautifully designed new branding reflects our high standards. The design, language, online presence, and printed materials have undergone a (…)complete makeover. To fulfil the most exacting standards, Berlin-based N3 VISION have also refined the way we present our architectural plan portfolio: a meticulously edited, stylish collection for our clients.
An historic building boasting high-end accommodation and Michelin-starred cuisine. We have been commissioned to carry out a 3D survey of (…)the property and to update the plans. We will also use laser scanning to map the surrounding park and to depict the entire ensemble in a series of finely detailed 2D architectural drawings: elevation views, floor plans, and cross sections.
This postmodern office building with a floorspace of 40,000 sqm is to be documented in its entirety, including interiors. We (…)will carry out a 3D survey and create a Building Information Model. This intelligent model, commissioned to optimise building operations, is finished with authentic textures. It also includes all building services and furnishings.
elbcontor creates complex architectural models that are both sophisticated and highly detailed.
We work with cutting-edge technology and meticulous attention to detail to create digital representations that truly do justice to the unique character of existing structures. With professional dedication, we capture the character of a building in detail, from every dimension, substantiating architectural values with style.
We use the latest 3D laser technology to comprehensively scan buildings in a no-contact procedure that captures even the most intricate detail.
This means that even challenging buildings with complex structures or areas that are difficult to access can be captured accurately and in precise detail. elbcontor coordinates the surveying in advance with all parties involved – planning and implementation go hand in hand.
The classic two-dimensional designs are derived from 3D digital point clouds. Their timeless graphic aesthetic supports a targeted and efficient planning process.
Thanks to the proportionate mapping of all relevant components of a building, elbcontor can develop floor plans, façade perspectives, and cross-sections in 2D. Depending on the requirements, these are then illustrated in captivating detail and beauty. These plans facilitate further architectural planning, as well as the preparation of future transactions.
Point clouds recorded on site are used to create true-to-scale, digital 3D representations of the properties – executed in extraordinary detail.
These serve as a reliable record of the current state of a building, as a basis for calculations and all further applications or project phases. Captured in meticulous detail, the architectural models are rendered in CAD. They are created with unparalleled accuracy that far exceeds the industry standard. Upon request, outdoor facilities may be included, resulting in a comprehensive surface relief featuring vegetation, access routes, and ridge and eave heights of neighboring buildings.
The artistic step towards perfecting architectural models. All surfaces are clad with true-to-original textures.
High-resolution on-site photographs are used to reflect materiality, proportions, and spatial atmosphere of the building in its three-dimensional digital representation. This enables more precise decision-making in restoration and transformation processes. The degree of visual fidelity is tailored to the client’s specifications.
The intelligent dimension that enhances 3D models. Building data is recorded in the digital twin according to the buildingSMART standard.
The result is a BIM model that is not only visually and technically complete but also complete in terms of content. Specified points or components contain the corresponding information: for example, constructions, materials, technical building equipment, or furnishings. As a buildingSMART-certified office, elbcontor adheres to the highest standards and prepares its data in a BIM-compliant manner from the initial capture stage onwards.
The most important factor in the real estate business is square footage. At elbcontor, we carry out precision area computations in accordance with the latest standards.
Exact 3D scans are used to produce contractually binding area computations for rental, sales, property management and operations, for sales brochures and partitioning plans. As a member of the German Association of Property Researchers (GIF), elbcontor is always up to date with the latest applicable legal regulations according to DIN 277, gif, and the German Ordinance on the Calculation of Living Space (Wohnflächenverordnung, WoFlV).
Buildings are full of stories. Our uncompromisingly detailed models and drawings are intended to reflect not only their exact measurements but also their aesthetic dimensions.
A building’s graphic cultural counterpart
Perfection is a process that fills purpose with beauty. We strive to achieve this by lending the physical structure an aesthetic form, expanding graphic architectural models to include both content-related and external aspects – all with dedicated craftsmanship in every space and in each dimension.
Since 2011, elbcontor has been capturing the physical and distinctive features of outstanding buildings. Regionally and internationally, but always in places where people seek out and relish the superlative, demanding nothing less than excellence.
The opportunity for excellence arises when laser focus is applied to a single thing – a topic, a passion – for incomparable results.
