Lumoview Building Analytics

What Lumoview Building Analytics does

Lumoview Building Analytics GmbH is a Cologne-based deep-tech PropTech company founded in 2019 as a spin-off of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), with 34 employees across Cologne and Berlin as of June 2025. The company offers an end-to-end building data platform consisting of three integrated layers: (1) the patented LumoScanner, a handheld 360° imaging + LiDAR device that captures complete room geometry in approximately two seconds per scan; (2) the LumoCAD Engine, an AI-powered processing pipeline that automatically converts raw scans into 3D CAD/BIM models, 2D floor plans, roombooks, elevations, building envelope models, and 360° indoor thermal panoramic images; and (3) LumoCloud and LumoWorld, SaaS platforms for centralized data access, in-browser BIM/IFC viewing, and multi-format export (IFC, DWG, HottCAD, PDF, XLSX). Drone photogrammetry complements indoor scanning for building envelopes, supported through a partnership with Airteam.

The company monetizes through a hybrid model: professional survey services (Scan-as-a-Service), hardware sales or leasing of the LumoScanner, and recurring SaaS subscriptions to LumoWorld. Pricing is project-based with area tiers ranging from sub-250 m² properties to 15,000+ m² portfolios, sold via a consultative enterprise motion combined with a product-led self-survey option. The customer base spans energy consultants, energy-efficient renovation project teams, property and facility managers, property owners/housing companies/investors, and municipalities, primarily across the DACH region with stated ambitions to expand across Europe. Total funding stands at over €5.5 million, comprising a €2.5M EIC Accelerator grant (2024) and a €3M VC round (June 2025) led by Greencode Ventures with IBB Ventures and WakeUp Capital. Lumoview reports 800,000+ m² of cumulative building area digitized and 3 patents on core technology.

Revenue model

1. Hardware Sales (LumoScanner): Lumoview sells or leases the LumoScanner hardware device. Customers can choose between purchasing the device for self-surveys or using Scan-as-a-Service where Lumoview's team performs the measurement. The scanner is a key revenue driver and entry point into the full data workflow.
2. SaaS Subscription (LumoCloud / LumoWorld): Cloud-based building data platform delivered as a subscription. Customers receive 24/7 access to their building data, portfolio management, and export capabilities. The platform is included with data delivery and provides ongoing subscription revenue from active customers managing portfolios over time.
3. Professional Services (Survey & CAD Modeling): End-to-end building survey services and CAD/BIM modeling delivered by Lumoview's professional teams. Services include digital building surveys, 3D CAD models, 2D floor plans, roombooks, building envelope models, and thermal imaging. Pricing varies by building area (tiers from 250m² to 15,000m²+) and complexity.

Core offering

Lumoview digitizes existing buildings in approximately 2 seconds per room using the patented LumoScanner (360° imaging + LiDAR), drone photogrammetry, and AI-powered modeling. It automatically converts captured data into 3D CAD/BIM models, 2D floor plans, room data sheets, building envelope models, and structured building data delivered through the LumoWorld cloud platform. Outputs integrate directly into CAD, BIM, CAFM, ERP, and energy consulting workflows in industry-standard formats (IFC, RVT, DWG, HottCAD, PDF, XLSX).

Product overview

Lumoview Building Analytics is a deep-tech PropTech company offering an end-to-end building data platform that digitizes existing buildings from physical capture through to actionable, cloud-delivered building information. The core portfolio consists of three integrated components: (1) the LumoScanner — a patented handheld 360°+LiDAR scanner that captures room geometry in ~2 seconds — paired with drone photogrammetry for exterior capture; (2) the LumoCAD Engine — an AI-powered cloud processing engine that automatically transforms raw scan data into 3D CAD/BIM models, 2D floor plans, roombooks, and building envelope models; and (3) LumoWorld — a SaaS cloud platform providing centralized access, viewing (including IFC/BIM in-browser), and multi-format export (IFC, DWG, HottCAD, PDF, XLS/CSV) with direct integrations into Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Allplan, HottCAD, and Planon. The platform is complemented by a 360° thermal imaging feature and serves energy consultants, renovation planners, property managers, and facility managers.

Direct peers

• Matterport: Matterport is the closest direct peer: a US-based spatial data company that captures 3D indoor spaces with proprietary cameras, then converts them into digital twins, floor plans, and BIM-compatible assets via a cloud platform — the same capture-to-CAD/BIM-to-cloud workflow Lumoview sells in DACH.
• HoloBuilder: HoloBuilder (acquired by FARO) provides 360° reality capture and AI-based progress documentation for construction and real estate, directly comparable to Lumoview's 360° + AI workflow for digital building inventory. Targets an overlapping buyer set of general contractors and owners.
• OpenSpace: OpenSpace combines 360° walkthrough capture with AI-powered computer vision to auto-generate floor plans, as-built documentation, and progress tracking, primarily for construction and real estate. Closely aligned with Lumoview's "scan plus AI to BIM/floor plan" model, though focused on construction phase.
• NavVis: NavVis is a Munich-based direct competitor offering mobile indoor scanning (NavVis M6/VLX), cloud-based digital twin software, and BIM/CAFM integrations. Comparable technology stack (mobile LiDAR + photogrammetry + cloud platform) targeting the same professional surveying and AEC market as Lumoview.
• Realsee: Realsee (Ke Holdings / Beike) operates a 3D space capture hardware + SaaS platform for real estate and property management, with VR walkthroughs, floor plans, and digital twin outputs. Direct peer in the "scanner + AI cloud + floor plans" commercial model.

Others

• Planon: Planon is a leading CAFM/IWMS platform for real estate and facility management — a downstream integration partner of Lumoview (LumoWorld exports to Planon). Not a direct competitor but a complementary ecosystem player in the same building data and portfolio management space.

Broad incumbents

• Leica Geosystems (Hexagon): Leica Geosystems (part of Hexagon) is a global incumbent in professional surveying hardware and software (BLK series scanners, Cyclone, Reality Cloud Studio). Competes with Lumoview on hardware quality and ecosystem reach, but lacks the same fully automated DACH-specific energy consulting workflow.
• FARO Technologies: FARO offers professional 3D laser scanning hardware and software for AEC, public safety, and manufacturing, including HoloBuilder. Broad incumbent with overlapping hardware and reality capture capabilities versus Lumoview's specialized DACH energy/renovation focus.

Emerging players

• BuildingMinds: BuildingMinds is a Berlin-based digital twin platform for building portfolios, focused on ESG, decarbonization, and operational data. Adjacent to Lumoview's portfolio management use case, often a downstream consumer of Lumoview-style building data.
• IMERSO: IMERSO is a Norway-based startup applying AI to point-cloud and BIM data for construction verification and as-built monitoring. Comparable to Lumoview's AI-on-3D-scans approach, though focused on construction QA rather than energy retrofit data capture.
