DUMBO As-Built Documentation FAQ

What makes DUMBO unique for 3D scanning projects?
DUMBO's converted warehouse buildings offer spectacular scanning opportunities. The soaring ceilings (often 14-18 feet), exposed timber beams, original brick walls, and massive industrial windows create dramatic spaces. Many units have unobstructed Manhattan Bridge views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Our equipment captures these architectural features beautifully, whether for real estate marketing or renovation planning.
How do you handle the cobblestone streets in DUMBO?
DUMBO's historic Belgian block cobblestone streets require equipment adaptation. We use heavy-duty hand trucks with large pneumatic wheels for transport. For larger projects, we coordinate building loading dock access from Water Street or Front Street. Our team is experienced with DUMBO logistics and plans equipment transport in advance.
Is LPC approval needed for scanning in DUMBO?
No, LPC approval is not required for interior scanning work. The DUMBO Historic District designation applies to exterior alterations. Our scanning and documentation work is non-invasive and does not require permits. However, if you're planning exterior modifications based on our scans, LPC review will be needed for that subsequent work.
Can you capture the Manhattan Bridge views in virtual tours?
Absolutely. The iconic Manhattan Bridge view from Washington Street is one of DUMBO's most valuable assets. Our Matterport tours capture these views beautifully, especially during golden hour lighting. For marketing purposes, we can schedule shoots when lighting conditions showcase the bridge views at their best. Aerial photography and photogrammetry can also capture the bridge perspective.
What's the typical project for tech office scanning in DUMBO?
DUMBO tech offices typically range from 10,000 to 50,000+ square feet occupying converted warehouse floors. Projects include as-built documentation for lease negotiations, space planning for expansion, and tenant improvement design. We often work after hours or on weekends to minimize disruption to active tech offices. Turnaround for standard commercial scanning is 48-72 hours.
