Financial District LiDAR Drone Surveying & Mapping FAQ

Can you scan historic buildings in the Financial District?
Yes, interior scanning does not typically require LPC approval. For exterior work on landmarked buildings, LPC coordination may be needed. We have extensive experience documenting historic FiDi buildings including Art Deco towers and landmark interiors. Our scanning helps preserve historic details for renovation planning.
Do you work on office-to-residential conversion projects in FiDi?
Yes, conversion projects are a significant part of our FiDi work. We provide existing conditions documentation for conversion planning, BIM-conversion-ready scan data for adaptive reuse design, and ongoing progress documentation. The Financial District has seen significant conversion activity with buildings like 222 Broadway.
How do narrow streets affect drone inspections in the Financial District?
The narrow streets and tall buildings in FiDi create challenging conditions including wind tunnels and limited sight lines. We often combine ground-based scanning with carefully planned drone flights during early morning calm conditions. For some buildings, swing-stage or rope access combined with ground scanning may be more practical than drones.
What security requirements apply to scanning in Financial District buildings?
Many FiDi buildings house financial institutions with strict security protocols. We provide all required documentation including COI, contractor registrations, and employee background information when required. We coordinate with building security for equipment access and escort requirements.
Can you capture the ornate historic details in Art Deco FiDi lobbies?
Yes, our NavVis and Matterport equipment captures high-resolution imagery that documents ornate historic details. For landmark buildings, we can provide documentation-grade captures that support historic preservation efforts. The Red Room at 1 Wall Street and Federal Reserve Bank interiors are examples of the detail level we capture.
