Expertise

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.

elbcontor captures structures in all their complexity and conveys their very essence to outsiders. We create timelessly elegant architectural models that are suitable for all future iterations and purposes and for all stakeholders: for documentation, calculation, transformation, and distribution.
  • 3D building surveying

    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.

  • 2D architectural drawings

    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.

  • 3D architectural models

    Point clouds recorded on site are used to create true-to-scale, digital 3D representations of the structures, 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. They are further enhanced with photorealistic textures. The client determines the degree of artistic detail to be implemented.

  • Building Information Modelling (BIM)

    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.

  • Area computation

    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.

Company

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.
