Construction Applications

From pre-construction surveys to final as-built documentation, our laser scanning services support every phase of your construction project.

As-Built Documentation

Capture existing conditions with millimeter accuracy before renovation, expansion, or retrofit projects. Perfect for historical buildings and complex structures.

Pre-construction surveys Renovation planning Historic preservation Structural assessments

Construction Progress Monitoring

Track project progress with regular 3D scans. Compare as-built conditions against design models to identify deviations early.

Weekly progress scans Quality control Deviation reports Schedule verification

BIM Coordination

Deliver BIM-conversion-ready point clouds for clash detection and coordination. Point clouds integrate directly with Revit, Navisworks, and other BIM software.

Clash detection MEP documentation BIM-ready point clouds Navisworks integration

Site Verification

Verify field conditions match design intent. Document concealed conditions before close-up for warranty and liability protection.

Foundation verification Steel inspection MEP rough-in Pre-drywall documentation

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about 3D laser scanning for construction projects.

What is 3D laser scanning for construction?

3D laser scanning for construction uses LiDAR technology to capture millions of precise measurements per second, creating detailed point clouds of buildings and construction sites. These point clouds serve as BIM-conversion-ready data for as-built documentation, construction verification, and coordination.

How accurate is construction laser scanning?

Our survey-grade laser scanners achieve ±2mm accuracy at typical construction distances. This level of precision meets requirements for structural verification, MEP coordination, and BIM-conversion-ready documentation for construction projects.

What file formats do you deliver?

We deliver point clouds in E57 (industry standard), RCP/RCS (Revit), PTS/PTX, and LAS formats. These files integrate directly with Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, and other construction software.

How long does a construction scan take?

Scan time depends on project size. A typical floor takes 2-4 hours to scan. We can scan 5,000-15,000 SF per day depending on complexity. Most projects receive deliverables within 24-48 hours.

Can you scan active construction sites?

Yes, we regularly scan active job sites. Our team follows all safety protocols and coordinates with site safety managers. We can schedule scans during off-hours or around active work areas.

What's included in construction scanning services?

Our construction scanning services include field scanning, point cloud registration, basic cleaning, and delivery in your preferred format. Additional services include BIM-conversion-ready point cloud delivery, deviation analysis, and progress comparison reports.
