3D Facade Measurement: Fast Results and Consistent Data
Rendera captures facade imagery by drone and turns it into a true scale 3D model with photogrammetry. This facade survey removes scaffolding from the workflow and clarifies cladding and BIPV planning. Quantity takeoff and installation decisions rest on reliable facade data. All outputs align with CAD and BIM.
Problems
Access and safety barriers
Scaffolding and work at height block some surfaces from measurement. Incomplete facade data extends schedules, raises cost, and creates uncertainty.
Perspective and scale drift
Oblique photos and manual methods distort the surface geometry. When azimuth, tilt, and edge lengths are wrong, layouts, cladding cuts, and anchor points slip.
Scattered and inconsistent data
Photos, sketches, and mixed files do not meet on a single base. Facade information stays inconsistent, CAD or BIM fit weakens, and rework grows.
Render-a: the right foundation from facade measurement to installation
Render-a reveals facade surfaces in 3D so dimensions and critical points are visible. You plan the layout on screen and see anchor positions and edge offsets in advance. Door and window openings, service penetrations, and potential shading are flagged early. Cut lists and installation sequence follow the confirmed geometry. Result: fewer surprises on site and a more predictable facade build.
Facade survey without scaffolding
A drone based facade survey inspects and measures every surface quickly and safely. Coverage is complete without scaffolds.
Accuracy at scale, clear decisions
Doors, windows, projections, and edge allowances appear at true scale. Alignment and angle errors are prevented at the start. Planning data stays consistent and ready for installation.
Build ready planning
Material quantities, cut lists, and installation sequence are set during project planning. Facade cladding and BIPV steps progress with fewer revisions and smoother handoffs.
F.A.Q
Rendera produces 3D facade meshes with measurable dimensions that allow accurate extraction of wall height, window-to-wall ratios, and alignment deviations. These datasets are suitable for renovation planning, cladding estimation, and envelope assessments.
Yes. High resolution meshes allow visual identification of cracks, misalignments, and material irregularities. Rendera is not a structural health monitoring tool, but its models can serve as reliable inputs for specialized software.
Rendera provides dimensionally accurate models that allow engineers to calculate surface coverage, anchoring points, and material quantities before on-site work begins. This reduces design errors and streamlines procurement processes.
No. Rendera also supports ground-based photography. However, drone imagery provides superior coverage and scaling accuracy. For high rise buildings, UAV based capture is strongly recommended.
