Surveytech is proud to announce its appointment as an official distributor for Navlive, the Oxford-based innovators behind the rapid AI-powered handheld 3D scanners.

This partnership marks a significant shift in the UK surveying landscape, combining Surveytech's 25+ years of technical expertise with Navlive's cutting-edge SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology. For Surveytech customers, this means access to a tool that doesn't just scan—it processes and generates floorplans in real time.

Redefining Speed and Precision

The centerpiece of this new offering is the Navlive Radius scanner. Designed to bypass the traditional bottlenecks of site documentation, the Radius allows surveyors to capture high-precision 3D point clouds and 2D floor plans simply by walking through a space.

• 80% Faster Surveys—Projects requiring days of traditional surveying can now be completed in minutes.

• Instant Scan-to-BIM—Edge AI processing generates BIM-ready data and automatic door/window detection on-site.

• No Tripods, No Delays—The handheld form factor eliminates complex setups, ideal for busy or occupied sites.

A Perfect Match for Surveytech

For over two decades, Surveytech has been the go-to partner for the UK's construction and engineering sectors. Adding Navlive to a portfolio that already includes industry giants like Leica Geosystems and Matterport reinforces Surveytech's commitment to providing technology for surveying that delivers a measurable ROI.

"At Surveytech, we have always looked for tools that solve real-world problems for our clients. Navlive is a game-changer. It bridges the gap between high-end laser scanning and the need for rapid, everyday site documentation. We are delighted to bring this British innovation to our customers."

— Matt Lacey, Managing Director of Surveytech

Try the Future of Scanning

To celebrate the launch, Surveytech will be hosting a series of live demonstration days and offering "try-before-you-buy" hire options for the Navlive Radius. Whether you are an architect, a BIM manager, or a measured building surveyor, this is your opportunity to see how AI-driven reality capture can transform your workflow.

Chris Davison, CEO of Navlive, recognises that Surveytech's extensive hire fleet will be an asset in promoting the technology: "We're confident that clients will love Navlive once they try it, so Surveytech's hire options will be crucial in getting the scanners into users' hands – often we find they don't want to give it back after that!"
