FOR FACILITY MANAGERS

Digital Twins and As-Built Records for Smarter Facility Operations

Facility managers operate buildings with outdated drawings — or no drawings at all. Our 3D scanning services create accurate digital records of your facility's current state, enabling better space planning, maintenance coordination, and capital project documentation. Stop guessing what is behind walls and above ceilings.

Challenges Facility Managers Face

Common documentation challenges we solve for facility managers every day.

Missing or Outdated Drawings

Most buildings over 10 years old have as-built drawings that no longer reflect reality. Renovations, tenant improvements, and maintenance modifications go undocumented, leaving facility teams guessing about actual conditions.

Space Planning Without Data

Accurate space utilization analysis requires precise floor plans. Manual measurement of a large facility takes weeks and still misses details. 3D scanning produces precise floor plans in days.

Maintenance Coordination

When a pipe bursts or HVAC fails, maintenance teams need to know exactly where systems are routed. Without accurate MEP documentation, troubleshooting takes longer and costs more.

Capital Project Scoping

Every renovation or upgrade project starts with understanding existing conditions. Without accurate documentation, architects and engineers must re-survey the space — adding weeks and cost to every project.

Why Facility Managers Choose THE FUTURE 3D

Minimal Disruption

We scan occupied spaces during business hours with non-contact, quiet equipment. Your tenants and staff barely notice we are there.

Facility-Ready Deliverables

Floor plans formatted for FM software (Archibus, Planon, TRIRIGA). Point clouds compatible with all major platforms.

Comprehensive Coverage

We document everything — finished spaces, mechanical rooms, rooftops, parking structures, and outdoor areas — in a single coordinated survey.

Ongoing Relationship

Many facility teams need periodic re-scanning as spaces change. We offer volume pricing for multi-building campuses and recurring documentation needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to scan a large campus or multi-building facility?

A typical 100,000-500,000 sq ft facility takes 3-10 days depending on building complexity and access constraints. Multi-building campuses are scheduled building-by-building. We work around tenant schedules and operational requirements.

Can the scan data integrate with our CAFM/IWMS system?

Yes. We deliver floor plans in DWG and PDF formats that import into Archibus, Planon, TRIRIGA, FM:Systems, and other facility management platforms. Point cloud data can also be linked to BIM models for spatial analysis.

What does facility scanning cost?

Facility scanning typically ranges from $0.20-$0.70 per square foot depending on the level of detail, building complexity, and number of buildings. A 200,000 sq ft office campus might range from $40,000-$140,000 for comprehensive documentation. Multi-building discounts apply. Contact us for a campus-specific quote.

Can you create emergency response floor plans?

Yes. We produce accurate floor plans suitable for emergency response planning, including room numbering, exit routes, fire suppression locations, and AED placement. These are particularly valuable for schools and healthcare facilities subject to safety documentation mandates.

How often should facilities be re-scanned?

We recommend re-scanning after any significant renovation or tenant improvement. For actively changing facilities, an annual or biennial scan keeps documentation current. Point cloud data does not degrade — a scan from 5 years ago is still accurate for the areas that have not changed.
