As Built Laser Scanning for Construction

Every project starts with knowing exactly what exists today. Our as built laser scanning for construction provides contractors, architects, and owners with complete documentation of existing conditions. The result is fewer change orders, reduced rework, and smoother permitting.

Why existing conditions matter

Outdated or incomplete drawings create risk for both commercial and residential projects. Missing walls, hidden utilities, or inaccurate dimensions lead to delays, cost overruns, and miscommunication. Our scanning services eliminate that guesswork by capturing every detail of the site in precise digital form.

With a verified model of existing conditions, your team can:

  • Plan with confidence

  • Detect clashes before they happen

  • Bid accurately

  • Reduce costly site revisits

From scan to as built documentation

Our workflow delivers more than a point cloud. We provide as built drawings for permitting, record drawings, floor plans, elevations, and BIM models that integrate directly into your coordination process.

  • Point cloud as built modeling: dimensional accuracy for CAD or BIM

  • As built drawings for permitting: trusted documentation to satisfy county or city requirements. If your jurisdiction requires a licensed surveyor stamp, we can coordinate that service

  • Construction documentation services: record drawings, permit ready plans, and existing condition drawings for approvals

  • Scan to BIM for construction: integration into coordination platforms to reduce RFIs and subcontractor conflicts

Commercial projects

On the commercial side, scanning helps contractors and facility managers manage large complex spaces. From office towers to industrial plants, our scans deliver:

  • Documentation for tenant improvements

  • BIM coordination from scans to align multiple trades

  • Clash detection before crews mobilize

  • Existing conditions records for facility operations and maintenance

  • Construction verification scanning to confirm work matches design intent

Residential projects

For residential construction, scanning is equally valuable. From remodels to new builds, homeowners and contractors rely on accurate as built data for:

  • Floor plan creation and remodel approvals

  • Existing condition drawings for permitting and design

  • Capturing complex rooflines or mechanical layouts

  • Avoiding delays caused by missing or inaccurate measurements

Construction site scanning process

Our process is straightforward:

  1. Assessment and planning – define the areas to be scanned

  2. On site scanning – capture all visible conditions quickly and safely

  3. Processing and alignment – register, clean, and verify the data

  4. Data delivery – point clouds, BIM models, CAD, permit ready drawings, and record drawings

  5. Integration support – ensure your team uses the data effectively

Results that matter

  • Reduce rework and change orders before they impact the schedule

  • Shorten permitting cycles with accurate as built and permit ready drawings

  • Lower costs with construction verification scanning

  • Improve coordination between field and office using BIM from scans

  • Deliver measurable savings in both commercial and residential projects


Frequently asked questions

Q1. Are as built drawings accepted for permitting

A1. Yes. Our as built drawings are widely accepted for permitting. If your jurisdiction requires a licensed surveyor stamp, we can coordinate that service as a separate option.

Q2. How accurate is laser scanning compared to traditional methods

A2. Our scans capture building surfaces to within a few millimeters, far more precise than manual tape or disto measurements.

Q3. How does this help general contractors

A3. With verified as built data and BIM coordination from scans, contractors avoid guesswork, reduce RFIs, and keep subcontractors aligned.

Q4. Do you provide deliverables that work with both commercial and residential needs

A4. Yes. We provide CAD, BIM, point clouds, permit ready drawings, and record drawings adaptable to both commercial and residential projects.

Q5. How quickly can scans be completed

A5. Most residential or mid size commercial buildings can be scanned in a single day, with deliverables ready within days.
