Hell's Kitchen 3D Scanning for Film & VFX FAQ

Can you scan Restaurant Row establishments?
Yes, we work with Restaurant Row restaurants for marketing tours and renovation planning. We schedule around your operations - typically before lunch service or after closing. Our Matterport tours help diners preview your space, and laser scanning supports build-out and renovation design.
What is the Special Clinton District and how does it affect scanning projects?
The Special Clinton District is a zoning overlay (not an LPC landmark district) that protects Hell's Kitchen's residential character. The Preservation Area limits building heights and requires specific unit sizes. This affects renovation and development projects but doesn't restrict scanning. We document existing conditions that inform project planning.
Do you work with both old walk-ups and modern towers?
Yes, Hell's Kitchen has both pre-war walk-ups and modern high-rises up to 44 stories. Our equipment handles both - portable BLK360 for walk-up buildings without elevators, and NavVis or RTC360 for large modern amenity spaces. We adapt our approach to each building type.
How do you handle the theater district area?
The eastern edge of Hell's Kitchen borders the Theater District with higher foot traffic, especially evenings. We coordinate timing to avoid peak theater hours when working nearby. For drone work, we factor in the enhanced security considerations near Times Square.
What's typical pricing for a Hell's Kitchen apartment scan?
Hell's Kitchen apartment scanning typically ranges from $1,000-2,500 depending on size, building type, and deliverables. A 1,500 sqft unit in a modern building with Matterport tour might be $1,200-1,500. Walk-up pre-war units or laser scanning with floor plans costs more due to access complexity.

Pricing shown reflects average US rates. Actual costs vary by location based on local market conditions, regulations, and project logistics — both within the US and internationally. Get a custom quote
