Notable Drone Photogrammetry Applications in San Jose

Winchester Mystery House — This 160-room Victorian mansion with staircases to nowhere, secret passages, and doors opening to walls is a California Historical Landmark whose labyrinthine layout makes it a fascinating and technically challenging 3D scanning subject.
San Jose Museum of Art — Housed in an 1892 Richardsonian Romanesque post office on the National Register, this seismically retrofitted landmark demonstrates how 3D scanning supports both heritage preservation and structural upgrade planning.
Hayes Mansion — This 41,000-square-foot, 64-room Gilded Age estate from 1905, now a Historic Hotels of America member, benefits from comprehensive scanning for ongoing preservation and facility management documentation.
Google Downtown West Campus — This transformative $10 billion mixed-use development adding housing, offices, and parks to downtown San Jose represents the cutting edge of tech campus construction where precise 3D documentation drives coordination.
History Park at Kelley Park — Containing over 30 restored and relocated historic buildings including replicas of the Electric Light Tower and Chinatown temple, this park presents unique documentation needs across multiple structure types and eras.

San Jose Drone Photogrammetry FAQ

What 3D scanning services does The Future 3D provide in San Jose?
We offer full-service 3D laser scanning, drone aerial surveys, scan-to-BIM conversion, and LiDAR mapping throughout the San Jose and greater Silicon Valley area. Our FARO Focus Premium and Leica RTC360 scanners deliver survey-grade accuracy, with a 1-hour response time for urgent project needs.
How does 3D scanning support Silicon Valley tech campus construction?
Major developments like Google's $10 billion Downtown West campus require precise coordination across housing, office, retail, and infrastructure components. Our 3D scanning provides accurate as-built documentation for MEP clash detection, construction progress monitoring, and BIM model creation that keeps these complex, multi-phase projects on schedule.
Can 3D scanning help with San Jose office-to-housing conversions?
San Jose is actively incentivizing office-to-residential conversions, waiving up to $16 million in fees for qualifying projects. Our laser scanning captures exact existing conditions of office interiors—structural grids, MEP systems, floor-to-ceiling heights—giving architects the precise data they need to design efficient residential conversions.
Is 3D scanning used for historic preservation in San Jose?
San Jose has significant heritage assets including the Winchester Mystery House, the 1892 Museum of Art building, and Hayes Mansion. Our scanning creates comprehensive digital records of these structures, documenting architectural details and structural conditions to support preservation compliance and seismic retrofit planning in earthquake-prone California.
What drone scanning capabilities are available in San Jose?
Our DJI Matrice 350 RTK drones capture aerial LiDAR and photogrammetry for site surveys, progress monitoring, and roof inspections across San Jose. We coordinate FAA authorizations including the complex airspace near San Jose International Airport and Moffett Federal Airfield.
Why do San Jose contractors need 3D scanning services?
With San Jose construction costs among the nation's highest and projects requiring 65+ units per acre for financial viability, the margin for error is minimal. 3D scanning reduces costly rework by providing exact spatial data for design coordination, and scan-to-BIM deliverables streamline permitting and construction documentation.
