Commercial construction projects require verified site conditions to keep work accurate and on schedule. GDS provides as-built laser scanning for construction that produces precise point cloud data, scan to BIM models, and digital twins. Our services support airports, stadiums, parking garages, apartment complexes, malls, hospitals, and federal projects.
Our scan to BIM for commercial construction services convert point cloud data into Revit models and coordinated drawings. This allows teams to base decisions on reliable information and reduces uncertainty during construction planning and execution.
We scan garages, ramps, risers, and apartments to document conditions for renovation, safety compliance, and phased construction. The data supports clear coordination between owners, contractors, and design teams.
Digital twin models are created to represent current site conditions for facilities such as hospitals, malls, hotels, and campuses. These models help plan renovations, sequence work, and manage building information beyond initial construction.
We scan terminals, hangars, concourses, and event venues to capture structural layouts and mechanical systems. The information supports planning, design integration, and construction sequencing.
GDS is an approved small business vendor. We provide federal building as built scanning services that align with contracting requirements and support documentation for modernization and asset management.

Q1. Can you scan multi-building campuses?
Yes. We scan and document entire campuses including hospitals, universities, and federal sites.
Q2. What accuracy can we expect?
Our scanners capture data within tolerances required for commercial construction standards.
Q3. Do you deliver models compatible with Revit?
Yes. We provide Revit models and other BIM formats for coordination.
Q4. When is scanning most useful?
Scanning is most valuable before renovations, during coordination, and when as built documentation is required.
Q5. Are you qualified for government projects?
Yes. GDS is an approved small business vendor able to support federal contracting requirements.

Infrastructure and strategy
GDS focuses on as-built laser scanning for commercial construction — ensuring projects have verified site conditions to stay accurate and on schedule. They produce precise point cloud data, convert scans to BIM models, and create digital twins for facilities ranging from airports and stadiums to hospitals and shopping centers.
GDS’s scan-to-BIM services convert laser scan data into Revit models and coordinated drawings. This gives construction teams reliable, up-to-date 3D models of the existing structure — reducing uncertainty in planning and ensuring that all coordination decisions are based on accurate current conditions rather than outdated drawings.
Yes. GDS scans parking garages, ramps, and high-rise apartments to document conditions for renovation, safety compliance, or phased construction. The detailed data supports clear coordination among owners, contractors, and design teams — ensuring everyone works from the same accurate picture of the structure at every level.
GDS creates digital twin models representing current site conditions of large facilities including hospitals, malls, hotels, and campuses. These digital twins help plan renovations, sequence work efficiently, and manage building information throughout the facility’s lifecycle — providing ongoing value well beyond the initial construction phase.
GDS scans terminals, hangars, concourses, and event venues to capture structural layouts and mechanical systems. This information aids in planning and design integration for expansions or retrofits, and helps sequence construction work by revealing precisely how new installations will fit with existing structures and systems.
Yes. GDS is an approved small business vendor for federal projects. They provide as-built scanning for federal buildings and ensure deliverables align with government contracting requirements — making them qualified for courthouses, federal offices, and similar projects that require strict standards and documentation protocols.
The workflow includes: defining scope and deliverables with the project team; performing high-accuracy on-site scanning; registering and aligning point clouds for complete coverage; converting scans into BIM models and coordinated drawings; and delivering reviewed outputs on schedule. This structured approach integrates smoothly into the construction project timeline without disrupting active work.
Common questions include: Can GDS scan multi-building campuses? (Yes, including hospitals and universities.) What accuracy can we expect? (Scans meet tolerances required for commercial standards.) Do they deliver Revit-compatible models? (Yes, Revit and other BIM formats are provided.) When is scanning most useful? (Before renovations or during coordination phases.) Are they qualified for government projects? (Yes, GDS meets federal requirements as a small business vendor.)
GDS’s scanning prevents costly mistakes and delays by providing verified as-built data that eliminates guesswork. Accurate existing conditions reduce change orders and RFIs caused by unknown site conditions, and better coordination helps contractors finish faster and under budget — since rework and unplanned downtime are minimized from the start of the project.
Contact GDS to discuss your commercial construction needs. GDS recommends scheduling a consultation to understand the project scope and identify how scanning can add the most value. From there, GDS maps out a tailored plan covering scanning methods, deliverable formats, and timeline — providing a clear proposal before any commitment is made.
