Three Sixty Design Solutions wins £1m contract

Three Sixty Design Solutions, the multi-disciplinary firm with offices in Sussex and London, has secured a £1 million government contract.

The contract will see the company deploying 3D laser scanning technology to survey 360 government sites across the UK.

Using FARO reality capture cameras, Three Sixty will create digitalised 3D renders of a number of properties spanning the country from Penzance in Cornwall to the Orkney Islands north of Scotland, making virtual records of both the interior and exterior of the premises including assets and fittings.

It follows a partnership the firm signed with digital reality solutions provider FARO to become one of only a select number of companies in the UK to use and distribute the American brand’s devices.

Managing director Gareth Pryce, who leads the business with directors Simon Avery and Harvey Ford, said: “Our new partnership with FARO is another milestone in the growth of Three Sixty Design Solutions.

“We are using leading edge FARO technology to provide professional services for a government contract to provide the most up to date and accurate digital record of properties nationwide.

“It is our first million pound contract and our first major project using FARO, which will deliver a client-focused and data driven solution with the highest quality results.”

Gareth said: “We’re proud to be chosen by FARO as a UK distributor to sell its scanners as well as use its technology ourselves as a multi-disciplinary design company.

“This means we can supply FARO to other surveyors and provide support, while playing a leading role in encouraging digital adoption and promoting excellence within the industry.

“The possibilities are endless and we are excited about bringing FARO to many more clients and companies.”
