About Synoptic

Robots and AI for building digitisation.

Synoptic is a Zürich-based robotics and AI company. We turn a building scan into a millimetre-precise, BIM-ready 3D model in hours instead of weeks — at a fraction of today's cost.

What we do

Renovation surveying is the bottleneck blocking Europe's renovation wave: producing an as-built BIM model of an existing building still takes specialists, expensive scanners and days of manual modelling. We automate that end to end — from autonomous scanning to AI reconstruction to BIM-ready output — so professionals get accurate models without the cost and wait.

Scan

Capture a site with our robot platform, a phone, or your own LiDAR.

Reconstruct

Object-centred AI turns the point cloud into a parametric model.

Deliver

Export BIM-ready models straight into your tools.
