As-Built Measurement & Documentation

LiDAR-based existing-conditions capture provides verified 2D floor plans, 3D spatial data, and CAD-ready documentation. We create accurate floor plans, reliable dimensional plans, including reflected ceiling plan, exterior elevations roof plan, and 3D model data for architectural/documentation purposes.

Architects and facility teams rely on this data to begin design and planning with confidence. Clarity can be provided with aerial photogrammetry and/or and 360 documentation.

LiDAR Accuracy, CAD Geometry, and BIM-Ready Workflow

We provide metric-accurate LiDAR capture with ANSI/BOMA-compliant measurements and architectural-friendly geometry—resulting in clean, dependable scan to BIM and CAD/BIM handoffs.

Our 2D and 3D deliverables give architects, designers, and AEC facility teams the confidence of having files that meet LAS (.las) and E57 (.e57) industry standards.

Why Firms Choose Our As-Built Processing

1. As-Built Measurements you can trust.

Our LiDAR system delivers accurate architectural documentation and dimensional floor plans with sub-centimeter precision in typical interior conditions. Using LiDAR scanning, every floorplan and 3D model reflects true site conditions.

Basically: Photogrammetry shows what a space looks like. LiDAR shows and measures where elements actually are.

2. Point Cloud + CAD/BIM Handoffs

All deliverables are formatted for seamless insertion into Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and other CAD/BIM environments, ensuring immediate compatibility as LAS (.las) and E57 (.e57) industry standards.

3. Fast Capture and predictable delivery.

Our workflow captures approximately 3–5,000 sq. ft. per hour under typical site conditions, dramatically faster than manual measurement or photogrammetry-based methods. Standard delivery is typically within 48-72 hours from a processing start point.

4. Experience

Our field experience is 4 years with LiDAR accuracy. Our LiDAR capture is supporting downstream Scan to BIM modeling.

Digital Scanning Solutions for Design & Property Teams

We support a wide range of architecture, design, and property-focused teams with accurate as-built data, LiDAR measurement, and CAD/BIM-ready documentation. Our solutions enhance spatial understanding, streamline planning, and reduce costly field verification cycles.

Architecture & Interior Design Firms
Facility Managers & Property Teams
Commercial Real Estate Owners & Operators
Design-Build Contractors
Engineering & Consulting Firms

Whether you’re designing, documenting, or renovating, we provide the foundation: accurate, dependable as-built LiDAR data your team can trust.

Visual Documentation is accomplished when needed by leveraging 360 Imaging, Tags that document equipment, with basic and final professional grade perspective-control lens photography.

We offer data-only LiDAR scanning for projects ranging from residential renovations to commercial and corporate improvements and facility updates.

LiDAR as a Key Component

For clarity: Our use of LiDAR and Matterport's serve complementary roles to BIM, with LiDAR providing vector-driven outputs that integrate seamlessly into CAD and BIM environments. We don't overload BIM. This integration allows for a more efficient workflow compared to Matterport’s photogrammetry-first approach.

We leverage LiDAR technology for its precision, rapid results, and clear data output—ensuring your team obtains existing conditions as-built information that supports effective CAD and BIM development.

ANSI/BOMA-Compliant Measurement Standards

All floorplans adhere to BOMA measurement standards, guaranteeing accurate calculations of usable and rentable areas for programming, facility planning, and leasing assessments.

Optional Standards:

BOMA 2020 Retail Standard. (International)
BOMA 2024 Office Standard. (International)
