As-Built Documentation in Boston — FAQ

Why are as-builts critical for Boston projects?
Boston's 19th-century buildings lack accurate drawings reflecting centuries of modifications. Massachusetts codes require existing-conditions documentation for renovation permits. Our laser-scanned as-builts capture actual conditions with millimeter accuracy.
What formats?
AutoCAD DWG, PDF, Revit RVT with dimensional plans, MEP routing, and section drawings.
How do as-builts support historic preservation?
Boston Landmarks Commission requires detailed documentation before alterations. Our scans capture ornamental details and spatial dimensions for compliance.
Can you scan occupied buildings?
Yes — non-intrusively in active offices, residences, hospitals. Coordinate access with building management.
Turnaround?
Standard 5,000-20,000 sq ft: 1-2 days scanning, 5-7 days drawings. Rush available.

Boston As-Built Documentation FAQ

Why is 3D laser scanning important for Boston's life sciences construction?
Boston's life sciences sector spans 63.2 million square feet statewide with near-zero vacancy in Kendall Square, driving rapid lab buildouts that demand precise MEP coordination. 3D laser scanning captures existing conditions to millimeter accuracy, enabling engineers to route complex HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems around existing infrastructure without costly field conflicts.
How does 3D scanning support historic preservation in Boston?
The Boston Landmarks Commission oversees exterior changes to hundreds of protected structures under Article 85 demolition delay rules. Our FARO Focus Premium and Leica RTC360 scanners create detailed point clouds of historic facades, interiors, and structural elements, giving architects and preservation boards the precise documentation needed for compliant renovations in districts like Back Bay and Beacon Hill.
What are the drone regulations for inspection services in Boston?
Boston falls within controlled airspace near Logan International Airport, requiring FAA LAANC authorization for most commercial drone flights. Our licensed Part 107 pilots coordinate airspace approvals and carry full liability coverage, enabling drone inspections of building facades, rooftops, and construction sites across the metro area.
Can you provide scan-to-BIM services for Boston office-to-residential conversions?
Yes. Downtown Boston's office-to-residential conversion trend is one of the strongest development sectors in the city. We capture complete as-built conditions of existing office buildings and deliver BIM-conversion-ready scan data for Revit import, enabling architects to efficiently plan residential layouts, identify structural constraints, and coordinate MEP systems for adaptive reuse projects.
How quickly can your 3D scanning team mobilize in Boston?
We maintain a avg 1-hour response time commitment across the Greater Boston metro. Our equipment inventory includes FARO Focus Premium, Leica RTC360, and NavVis VLX 3 scanners, allowing us to deploy the right technology for projects ranging from tight mechanical rooms to large-scale campus documentation.
What types of Boston construction projects benefit most from LiDAR scanning?
Healthcare facility renovations at institutions like Mass General Brigham, biotech lab fitouts in Kendall Square and Waltham, historic building restorations in Back Bay and Beacon Hill, and infrastructure projects across the MBTA system all benefit from LiDAR scanning. The technology captures millions of measurement points per second, creating a comprehensive digital record of existing conditions.
