Missing a connection measurement? Is the pipework already covered? Capture your plumbing and HVAC installations in 3D while they are visible. Check the captured details later in the portal and resolve questions with your team.

THE QUESTION OFTEN COMES UP AT THE OFFICE

Missing a connection measurement?
Check the installation in the scan.

How far is the connection from the wall? Where does the branch run? Once the covering is in place, a single photo often cannot answer these questions. A 3D scan captured beforehand preserves the spatial context.

Document visible installations and their surroundings with BaumaScan. Your team can revisit that condition in the portal to answer office questions, coordinate on site or support a clear handover.

THREE TRADES. ONE SHARED RECORD.

Capture plumbing, heating and ventilation
before they are covered.

A tradesperson scans exposed pipework before a wall is closed up.
01

PLUMBING

Document pipes before the wall is closed.

Capture visible water and wastewater pipes, branches and connections before they are covered. Refer to the documented layout later when questions arise.

A heating installer documents exposed underfloor heating pipes before the screed is poured.
02

HEATING

Document underfloor heating before screeding.

Document visible heating circuits, manifolds and connections before they are covered. Separate scans help you review the completed installation at handover and answer questions later.

Heating circuits Β· Manifolds Β· Pipe routing

A specialist uses a smartphone to capture a visible ventilation duct and pipes before they are covered.

AIR CONDITIONING & VENTILATION

Capture ventilation ducts and installation layouts.

Capture duct routes, branches and their visible surroundings in 3D. Review the available installation space and discuss questions about the completed work together using the scan.

MORE QUESTIONS?

BaumaScan
for plumbing and HVAC businesses.

Forgot a measurement during a plumbing or HVAC installation?

If the area was fully scanned beforehand, check measurements on captured surfaces in BaumaPortal, such as distances between visible connections and building elements. Missing or hidden details cannot be recovered from the scan later.

How do I document pipes before plastering or cladding?

Scan exposed pipes, connections and adjacent building elements from several angles. Label the scan by project, room and construction stage. Check the capture before the installation is covered.

Can I scan underfloor heating before screeding?

Visible heating pipes, manifolds and their surroundings can be documented in 3D before screeding. Ensure good lighting and an unobstructed view. The scan supplements your documentation; it does not replace required inspection or acceptance reports.

Can BaumaScan see pipes and cables through walls?

No. BaumaScan captures visible surfaces. To refer back to pipes and installations later, scan them before the wall is closed up or the covering is installed.

How accurate are measurements in the 3D model?

Measurement quality depends on the device, capture and processing. Thin, shiny or obscured pipes may be harder to capture. Check that the model is complete and accurate enough for your intended use.

Can my team view the installation documentation?

Open the processed scan in BaumaPortal and share it for coordination. Office staff, installers and other participants can discuss the same documented condition. Existing models can also be exported as GLB files.

Which smartphones are suitable?

For iOS, BaumaScan supports iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max as well as newer Pro models. Android requires ARCore Depth. On the app page you will find a search for the supported devices.
