As-Built Measurement & LiDAR Scanning – Serving Detroit
Accurate, scalable data capture for architects, facilities, and design teams.
As-Built Measurement & Documentation
Swafford Imaging produces accurate measurement centric architectural data for spaces in transition.
iGuide is a professional measurement capture system that emphasizes CAD-grade as-built LiDAR technology for accuracy. It correctly positions BIM as a downstream modeling phase.
The iGuide BIM output is more natural for professional As-Built CAD/BIM handoff's with Metric-accurate LiDAR, ANSI/BOMA Compliant measurement, and based on Architect-friendly geometry. Not much surplus stuff.
We deliver precise 2D and 3D as-built documentation that architects, designers, and facility teams can depend on. We offer data-only technical scans for your projects from Residential remodels and designs to Commercial improvements and resetting.
Measured data. Composed imagery. One workflow.
With LiDAR technology, property professionals can generate precise as-built documentation, optimize space allocation, and enhance lease negotiations—ultimately maximizing a building’s revenue potential.
Why Firms Would Choose Our Processing
1. Speed
Our workflow captures up to 5,000 sq. ft. per hour — dramatically faster than manual measurement or photogrammetry-based methods. Delivery generally in 48 hours.
2. Accuracy
Using calibrated LiDAR scanning, every floorplan and 3D model reflects true conditions, saving costly on-site revisits and design revisions.
3. Integration
Deliverables are formatted to drop directly into your Revit, AutoCAD, or SketchUp environment.

Get to a BIM Stage ... a downstream process ...
For clarity - iGuide and Matterport are both adjacent to BIM rather than being native BIM Platforms; however, iGuides LiDAR-based, vector-driven outputs transition into CAD and BIM environments are more cleanly and predictably than Matterport's photogrammetry-first mesh workflow.
We use iGuide technology for clarity, speed, and quality of interpretation to benefit your projects.
