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.

    »The challenges of existing buildings are as diverse as the buildings themselves. That’s why we develop the orto space aligned with our customers.«

    Felix Matschinske, Co-Founder orto GmbH

    • Communicate the way
      forward

      Save time, especially on complex projects. Remote access to building data has been proven to reduce coordination times by up to 80%.

    • Lower risks for the whole team

      Early analysis and realistic cost estimation. Our customers report that risk premiums in complex projects have been reduced or even eliminated entirely.

    • Focus on planning

      With orto space, floor plans can be easily aligned with 3D data, reducing effort for plan creation by up to 50%.

    • Unlock value of 3D builidng data

      Data unlock their value when put to use. With orto space, point cloud data is transformed into analyses, planning foundations, and briefings.

    »It makes our work in existing buildings much easier, as everyone is synchronized within a single dataset.«
