About jbks

jbks works in 3D documentation, high-resolution scanning, digital fabrication, and technical consulting for architecture, urban design, heritage, and art-related projects.

We record existing buildings, objects, and environments and turn them into usable data: point clouds, models, fabrication files, visual documentation, and project-specific deliverables.

With more than 15 years of experience, we are used to complex sites, unusual geometries, and workflows where precision matters.

What we do

We document buildings, structures, landscapes, and objects for planning, renovation, preservation, fabrication, and visualisation.

At the start, we define the required level of detail, accuracy, output formats, and intended use. This keeps the workflow clear from capture to final delivery.

How we work

Every project starts with understanding what the data needs to support.

A scan for renovation planning is different from a model for 3D printing. A heritage documentation project has other requirements than a construction site survey. We adapt the method, resolution, and deliverables to the task.

Our background in surveying and architecture helps us connect precise measurement with practical project needs.

Capabilities

Laser scanning: We use laser scanning to capture buildings, interiors, landscapes, and complex structures with high spatial accuracy.

Drone-based capture: For larger sites, roofs, facades, and areas that are difficult to access, drone-based capture allows efficient documentation from the air.

Photogrammetry: Photogrammetry is useful for objects, surfaces, textures, and heritage work where geometry and visual detail both matter.

Digital fabrication: We prepare models for 3D printing, milling, visualisation, coordination, and other production workflows.

Pricing

We price each project according to scope, scale, accuracy, access conditions, and final deliverables.

Not every assignment needs the maximum possible resolution or the most elaborate model. We define what is actually needed, so the budget goes into useful precision rather than unnecessary complexity.

Working with jbks

We take care of scanning, documentation, modelling, and data preparation so that architects, designers, artists, planners, and project teams can focus on decisions, design, and execution.

Share the project, site, or object with us. We help turn it into accurate, usable digital information.

Selected work

We have produced 3D documentation, scanning, and fabrication data for architects, artists, and institutions across Europe, including Das Siedle Haus, Furtwangen — Banz von Rosen, Arno Brandlhuber, Christian Kerez, Karin Sander, Ugo Rondinone, and Vogt Landscape Architects.
