Downtown Fort Lauderdale 3D Scanning for Film & VFX FAQ

Can you scan government buildings in Downtown Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, we work with Broward County and City of Fort Lauderdale facilities for renovation documentation, facility assessments, and modernization projects. Government buildings require advance coordination with facility management and security. Some areas may have restrictions on documentation scope. We're experienced with the contractor registration and security clearance processes required.
Do you work with cultural venues like the Broward Center or Museum of Discovery and Science?
Yes, we provide 3D documentation services for cultural venues including theaters, museums, and event spaces. This includes virtual tours for marketing, technical documentation for renovations, and digital twins for operations management. We coordinate with venue schedules to minimize impact on public programming and events.
Is drone work restricted in Downtown Fort Lauderdale?
Downtown Fort Lauderdale is in FAA Class B airspace under Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. We obtain LAANC authorization before all flights. Additionally, flights near government buildings like the courthouse may require notification to local authorities. We handle all coordination and typically schedule early morning flights for optimal conditions.
Can you scan properties along the Riverwalk and New River?
Yes, we document waterfront properties throughout the downtown Riverwalk area. This includes commercial buildings, cultural venues, and the historic Stranahan House area. Some areas along the New River have historic preservation considerations that we incorporate into our documentation approach.
How does the Brightline station affect downtown scanning projects?
The Brightline station creates both opportunities and considerations. For transit-oriented development projects, we document the station surroundings and connectivity. Downtown Fort Lauderdale's excellent transit access also makes it easier for our team to reach project sites. Our capabilities extend to properties adjacent to the station, and we can coordinate with Brightline operations when needed.
