3D laser scanning for existing buildings.

What a laser scan gives you

A laser scanner measures millions of points on every surface it can see. The result is a point cloud: a three-dimensional record of the building as it stands today, not as the original drawings say it should be.

Everything downstream is derived from that record. Floor plans, elevations, Revit models, area calculations, and clearance checks all come from the same dataset, and any question that comes up later can be answered from the file instead of a return trip to site.

How we capture

We scan with the Leica BLK2GO, a handheld mobile-mapping scanner that captures at walking pace. That makes it well suited to occupied offices, retail during business hours, and active job sites, where a tripod set up in every room would be slow and disruptive.

Scans are registered and checked in-house. Where a project calls for tighter tolerances or ties to survey control, we scope that at the quote stage so the capture method matches the accuracy you need.

When to order a scan

Before a renovation, tenant improvement, or retrofit, when the existing drawings are missing or cannot be trusted. Before MEP coordination, when what is above the ceiling decides whether the design works. And any time you need a dated, measured record of a building: at purchase, before demolition, or at project closeout.
