Our Rhode Island teams use industry-leading equipment including the Trimble X12 laser scanner for high-precision indoor scanning, NavVis VLX3 for rapid mobile mapping, Matterport Pro3 for immersive virtual tours, and DJI M400 RTK drones with Skydio X10 for aerial scanning and inspections. All equipment delivers ±2-4mm accuracy.

THE FUTURE 3D maintains a 1-hour response time for all Rhode Island locations. Our regional coverage allows us to mobilize quickly to Providence, Newport, and anywhere in the state. Given Rhode Island's compact size, we can reach any project location rapidly.

Yes, historic preservation scanning is one of our specialties in Rhode Island. We've documented numerous Gilded Age mansions, colonial-era buildings, and properties on the National Register of Historic Places. Our non-contact scanning methods safely capture intricate architectural details without any risk to delicate historic fabric.

We serve Rhode Island's diverse economy including healthcare and life sciences, higher education (Brown, RISD, URI), tourism and hospitality, manufacturing and jewelry, maritime industries, historic preservation, real estate development, and defense contractors. Each industry receives customized scanning solutions.

Absolutely. Rhode Island's maritime heritage means we frequently scan marinas, shipyards, port facilities, yacht clubs, and waterfront developments. Our drone capabilities are especially valuable for documenting coastal properties, piers, and marine infrastructure throughout Narragansett Bay.

Yes, Scan-to-BIM is essential for Rhode Island's many renovation and adaptive reuse projects. We create accurate BIM models from existing conditions scans, supporting architects and contractors working on everything from Providence loft conversions to Newport historic restorations.

We have extensive experience scanning educational facilities across Rhode Island. Our teams work efficiently around academic schedules to document buildings, residence halls, laboratories, and campus infrastructure for Brown University, RISD, URI, Providence College, and other institutions.

THE FUTURE 3D delivers unmatched service throughout Rhode Island with local teams ready to deploy statewide. We offer 1-hour response times, survey-grade accuracy (±2-4mm), and 24/7 availability for emergency projects. Our team understands the unique challenges of Rhode Island projects from historic preservation to maritime facilities. We back every project with our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
