Why 3D Laser Scanning Matters for Your Project
Renovation projects often rely on incomplete or inaccurate building information.
This leads to:
-
Costly change orders
-
Conflicts between existing and new systems
-
Construction delays
-
Incorrect design assumptions
-
Rework and lost time
Our high-definition laser scanning captures the building exactly as it exists today—floors, ceilings, walls, structure, MEP systems, and façade elements—ensuring your team works with precise, real-world measurements.
With scanning, what you see is what you get.

Our On-Site Laser Scanning Process
1. On-Site Laser Scan
A high-precision LiDAR scanner captures millions of x,y,z points per second, recording a 360° × 300° view of the space.
Most projects can be fully scanned in a few hours, minimizing disruption.
2. Multiple Scan Setups
To ensure full coverage—especially in complex interiors and mechanical areas—we perform multiple scan positions.
This guarantees every wall, ceiling, floor, façade, column, and beam is documented correctly.
3. Point Cloud Registration & Processing
All scan data is:
-
Registered
-
Cleaned
-
Aligned
-
Merged into one unified existing conditions point cloud
This becomes your verified digital record of the building.
4. CAD & BIM Production
From the point cloud, our team produces:
-
As-built drawings
-
Scan-to-CAD drafting
-
Scan-to-BIM Revit models
-
Dimensional verification
-
Digital twin datasets
We deliver everything needed for design, engineering, construction, or facility management.
