3D Scanning Services in Brooklyn

Brooklyn's architectural landscape tells the story of New York's evolution—from the brownstone-lined streets of Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights to the industrial warehouses of DUMBO and Williamsburg now converted into luxury lofts, from the Victorian mansions of Bed-Stuy to the supertall towers reshaping Downtown Brooklyn's skyline. Each neighborhood presents distinct scanning challenges and opportunities. Our team has documented hundreds of Brooklyn properties, developing specialized expertise in brownstone gut renovations where we capture original millwork and structural conditions, warehouse conversions where exposed timber and steel create complex scan environments, and new construction where precision documentation supports fast-moving development schedules. Brooklyn's competitive real estate market demands high-quality virtual tours that showcase properties effectively, while its active renovation market requires accurate as-built documentation for permit applications and construction planning. Whether you're marketing a Cobble Hill townhouse, planning a Red Hook industrial conversion, or documenting a new Greenpoint development, THE FUTURE 3D brings the Brooklyn-specific expertise your project requires.

Building Expertise

Brooklyn Building Types We Document

Our team has extensive experience scanning Brooklyn's diverse architectural landscape.

Brownstones & Rowhouses

Brooklyn's iconic brownstones and rowhouses date from the 1840s-1900s, featuring distinctive brown sandstone facades, high stoops, parlor floors, garden-level apartments, and ornate interior details. Neighborhoods like Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Bed-Stuy, and Fort Greene contain some of NYC's finest examples. Many are landmarked or in historic districts.

Scanning Notes

Multi-floor scanning with attention to original millwork, plaster medallions, pocket doors, and decorative fireplaces. Garden level and parlor floor typically have highest ceilings. Plan for narrow room layouts and tight stairways. Document exterior stoops and cornices for complete renovation packages.

Warehouse Lofts & Industrial Conversions

DUMBO, Williamsburg, and Red Hook feature former industrial buildings converted to residential and commercial lofts. These buildings showcase exposed brick, timber beams, cast-iron columns, oversized windows, and soaring ceilings (12-20 feet). Many date from Brooklyn's manufacturing heyday (1880s-1940s).

Scanning Notes

Large open floor plates benefit from NavVis mobile scanning. Capture structural elements including timber posts, steel trusses, and exposed brick. High ceilings require careful scanner positioning. Document loading docks and freight elevators for access planning.

New Development Towers

Downtown Brooklyn and the Williamsburg waterfront feature modern high-rise residential and mixed-use towers, including supertalls like 9 DeKalb Avenue. These buildings feature contemporary design, floor-to-ceiling glass, modern amenities, and advanced building systems.

Scanning Notes

Modern construction typically provides excellent access and building management cooperation. Handle reflective glass carefully. Good opportunities for digital twin integration with existing building management systems.

Multi-Family Walk-Ups

Brooklyn's pre-war multi-family walk-ups (3-6 stories) are found throughout the borough, featuring brick facades, railroad apartments, and shared hallways. Many are being renovated or converted to fewer, larger units.

Scanning Notes

Efficient floor-by-floor scanning with similar layouts. Document shared hallways and staircases. Capture original details like tin ceilings and hardwood floors that may be hidden under renovations.

Victorian & Queen Anne Houses

Areas like Ditmas Park, Prospect Park South, and parts of Flatbush feature Victorian mansions and Queen Anne houses with turrets, wrap-around porches, decorative shingles, and elaborate woodwork. These freestanding houses are rare in NYC and highly valued.

Scanning Notes

Exterior scanning captures architectural details including turrets, porches, and decorative elements. Interior scanning documents original woodwork, stained glass, and period details. Plan for varied room heights and complex rooflines.

Local Knowledge

Scanning in Brooklyn: What You Need to Know

Brooklyn projects vary widely in access requirements. Brownstone renovations may involve occupied multi-family buildings requiring coordination with multiple tenants. Many brownstone owners handle their own access without formal building management. DUMBO and Downtown Brooklyn high-rises typically have professional management and standard COI requirements. Street parking is more available than Manhattan but still limited in dense neighborhoods—check alternate side parking schedules. For drone work, proximity to Brooklyn's waterfront and several heliports requires careful FAA coordination. The Brooklyn Heights historic district and other landmarked areas may require LPC documentation. Our team is experienced with Brooklyn's diverse access situations and handles all coordination.

Brooklyn FAQs

Questions About 3D Scanning in Brooklyn

Common questions about our services in Brooklyn and the surrounding neighborhoods.

1 What equipment do you use for scanning Brooklyn brownstones?
For Brooklyn brownstones, we typically use a combination of the Matterport Pro3 for virtual tours and the Leica BLK360 G2 for detailed architectural scanning. The compact BLK360 handles tight brownstone rooms and staircases well, while delivering the accuracy needed for renovation planning.
2 How do you handle scanning warehouse lofts with high ceilings?
Our NavVis VLX 3 mobile scanner excels in large loft spaces with high ceilings. For extremely tall spaces, we position the Trimble X12 strategically to capture upper structural elements. We document exposed beams, columns, and trusses that are critical for renovation and adaptive reuse projects.
3 Can you scan occupied Brooklyn rental buildings?
Yes, we regularly scan occupied multi-family buildings throughout Brooklyn. We coordinate with building owners and tenants on scheduling, provide advance notice, and work efficiently to minimize disruption. Our teams are experienced working in occupied residential settings.
4 Do you provide documentation for Brooklyn landmark applications?
Absolutely. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are landmarked or contain individual landmark buildings. We provide the existing conditions documentation, measured drawings, and 3D models required for LPC permit applications. Our scans capture the architectural details that landmark reviews evaluate.
5 What is the cost of scanning a Brooklyn brownstone?
Brooklyn brownstone scanning typically ranges from $1,500-$4,000 depending on size, scope, and deliverables required. A standard 4-story brownstone with virtual tour and floor plans falls in the middle of this range. Contact us for a specific quote based on your project needs.
6 How quickly can you scan a Brooklyn property?
Most Brooklyn brownstones can be scanned in 2-4 hours. Larger properties like warehouse lofts may take 4-8 hours. Virtual tours are typically delivered within 24-48 hours, while CAD floor plans and Scan-to-BIM deliverables take 5-10 business days.
7 Do you scan Brooklyn retail and restaurant spaces?
Yes, we scan retail, restaurant, and commercial spaces throughout Brooklyn. Our virtual tours help lease vacant spaces in competitive markets like Williamsburg and DUMBO, while our as-built documentation supports tenant improvement projects and renovations.
8 What Brooklyn neighborhoods do you cover?
We cover all of Brooklyn—from DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights along the waterfront to Flatbush and East New York inland, from Greenpoint in the north to Coney Island in the south. Our team has experience in every Brooklyn neighborhood, understanding each area's unique building stock and access considerations.
