Why do Charlotte's financial institutions need 3D scanning services?
Charlotte is the second-largest banking center in the United States, with headquarters for Bank of America, Truist, and other major institutions occupying millions of square feet of office space. 3D laser scanning provides the precise floor plans and MEP documentation these institutions need for ongoing tenant improvements, security upgrades, and space optimization across their corporate campuses.
