Unlocking Circularity

Digital surveying and
potential analysis

orto is an interdisciplinary specialist, integrating building data in collaborative workflows.

We reconstruct and model existing buildings using scan technologies and construction analysis methods to enable sustainable decisions for planners and developers.

Since 2022, we foster collaboration in 3D building data with our software orto space, bringing precision where it matters most – at the beginning of the planning process.

We can't afford not to do it.

We are architects, sustainability manager, software developer, and designer. We work at these intersections to make planning and developing in existing buildings easier.

To make the potential of data sustainably usable, we develop our services and software in close collaboration with industry clients, as well as technology and research partners.

    Duration

    • Knowledge transfer from building research for education and industry

    • Digitalization of physical measurement methods

    • Potential of building surveys for early assessments

    • Didactic delivery of building analyses for education and industry

    Funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), the Faculty of Digital Heritage Technology at HAW Coburg is collaborating with orto and the digital agency LUCID to develop a platform solution for education.

    The new functionalities synchronise the advantages of digital as-built analysis with physical building analysis. The aim is to provide construction industry professionals, teachers and students with early access to construction quality.
