Aix-en-Provence combines a protected old town (Vieil Aix, Mazarin, Cours Mirabeau), a dense 18th-century building stock (bastides, townhouses, listed fountains) and a modern tech-cluster ecosystem (Pôle d'Activités, Arbois technology park, ITER in Cadarache). Three very distinct survey logics.
ARPEO works in Aix with a Leica BLK360 G2 laser scanner (interiors, facades, vaults) and a DJI Matrice 4E RTK drone (roofs, large sites, master plans). Lambert-93 georeferencing is systematic for interfacing with the GIS of Aix-Pays-d'Aix authorities.
ABF (French Heritage Architect) compliance for the protected perimeter (500 m around Saint-Sauveur Cathedral, Saint-Jean-de-Malte, and the City Hall). Revit, IFC 4.0 or DWG plans delivered within 15 calendar days.

— FAQ
Frequently asked questions in Aix-en-Provence
Can you work on an ABF-listed property in the heart of Mazarin?
Yes. Almost all our Aix-en-Provence projects are within the ABF perimeter (protected sector, 500 m around listed monuments). We produce a survey file compatible with the expectations of the French Heritage Architect: 1/50 ortho-facades, vectorial elevations, cross-sections, and an archived point cloud.
Are drones allowed in Aix-en-Provence?
Aix's center is in an unrestricted zone, but the northern outskirts brush against the approach corridor of Marseille-Provence airport. Any drone mission requires an AlphaTango declaration (DGAC); we handle it within the package. Processing time: 5 to 10 days depending on the zone.
What accuracy for an 18th-century bastide survey?
±2 mm at 10 m with the Leica BLK360 G2 laser scanner. Sufficient to produce a 1/50 ABF-compliant DWG plan, a Revit LOD 300 model (LOG 200 on ornaments), and an archivable point cloud for multi-year monitoring.
Lead time in Aix?
Quote within 48 h, acquisition within 5 to 10 working days. For bastides in busy areas (Vieil Aix), we schedule an early-morning slot (5–9 a.m.) to avoid tourist flows.
Do you work with the Aix-Marseille-Provence metropolitan authority?
Yes. We deliver in formats compatible with metropolitan GIS (Lambert-93, GeoPackage, IFC 4.0). References available on consultation, including preliminary studies for heritage or planning tenders.
