BW Partners with NavLive to Cut Survey Time by 80%

We’re pleased to share that NavLive is partnering with BW: Workplace Experts, one of the UK’s leading fit-out and refurbishment contractors, to speed up project planning and delivery across London and beyond.

BW has already introduced NavLive across a range of projects, from heritage refurbishments to modern workplaces.

By using our AI-driven construction scanner, the BW team is gaining faster, more reliable site data and strengthening their ability to compete for high-profile tenders.

Real-World Results

NavLive is helping BW by producing instant 2D floor plans and 3D building models with easy Scan-to-BIM functionality, all using a lightweight handheld scanner that’s easy to use.

On a recent project in Mayfair, BW used NavLive to survey a multi-storey commercial property. The walkthrough took less than 15 minutes, capturing a 3D point cloud and elevation views.

From this, architects were able to generate a full Revit drawing in just two hours, representing an 80% reduction compared with a traditional survey.

Looking Ahead

BW and NavLive are now exploring how the technology could link with robotics and automation, from robotic dogs to emerging humanoid platforms.

These applications could create new ways to capture and use building data, reducing repeat site visits and manual measurement.

Together, we see the potential to deliver projects more efficiently and sustainably, with fewer delays and lower emissions.

“At BW we want to be at the front of adopting technology that genuinely helps us and our clients. NavLive fits that perfectly. It gives us the accuracy we need without slowing projects down.”
Tomas Hollingsworth, Director of Technology, BW

BW’s reputation for high-quality delivery and technology-first approach makes them a natural partner for us here at NavLive.

By working together, we’re helping ensure projects meet client expectations of speed, accuracy and sustainability.
