East Village 3D Scanning for Film & VFX FAQ

Can you scan lofts with 13-foot barrel-vaulted ceilings in the East Village?
Yes, our equipment handles the high ceilings and unique architectural features in East Village lofts. The exposed brick, timber beams, and vaulted ceilings that make these spaces valuable are fully captured. We use extended tripods and strategic scanner placement for tall spaces.
How do you handle scanning in walk-up buildings?
Most East Village pre-war buildings are walk-ups. Our Matterport Pro3 and Leica BLK360 are portable enough to carry up 5-6 flights of stairs. We plan carefully for equipment logistics and may adjust timeline for upper-floor units in walk-ups.
Can you scan commercial spaces on busy East Village streets?
Yes, we typically schedule commercial scanning early morning (before 10 AM) or after business hours to avoid disrupting operations and ensure empty spaces for clean captures. For restaurants and bars, late-night scheduling after closing is common.
Do you work with East Village landlords managing multiple buildings?
Yes, we work with property owners and managers throughout the East Village for unit documentation, renovation planning, and as-built records. We offer volume pricing for multi-unit or multi-building projects and can coordinate efficient scheduling across properties.
What's the typical cost to scan an East Village walk-up apartment?
East Village apartment scanning typically ranges from $500-1,500 depending on size and deliverables. A 900 sqft pre-war unit with Matterport virtual tour might be $600-800. Laser scanning with CAD floor plans adds additional cost. We provide detailed quotes based on your specific needs.
