Notable LiDAR Drone Surveying & Mapping Applications in Milwaukee

Milwaukee Art Museum (Quadracci Pavilion) — Santiago Calatrava's iconic wing-like lakefront structure features complex movable steel elements that benefit from precision 3D scanning for structural monitoring and maintenance planning.
Milwaukee City Hall — This 353-foot Flemish Renaissance Revival tower from 1897, once among the world's tallest buildings, is an ideal candidate for heritage-grade facade scanning and structural documentation.
Basilica of St. Josaphat — Modeled after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and built with salvaged Chicago stone, this 1901 landmark features a massive dome and murals that require detailed 3D documentation for ongoing preservation.
Pabst Mansion — This 1892 Flemish Revival home of brewer Frederick Pabst, with its custom Italian floors and hand-carved woodwork, benefits from interior scanning for preservation records and virtual tour creation.
Historic Third Ward — Milwaukee's vibrant warehouse district features preserved 19th-century industrial buildings undergoing adaptive reuse, where 3D scanning supports accurate as-built documentation for renovation projects.

Milwaukee LiDAR Drone Surveying & Mapping FAQ

What drives demand for 3D scanning in Milwaukee?
Milwaukee benefits from $4.1 billion in Wisconsin infrastructure investments generating $7 billion in economic activity. Major projects like the $500 million Northwestern Mutual office renovation and the 373-unit conversion of the 100 East office building require accurate as-built scanning, clash detection, and building information modeling throughout construction.
How does 3D scanning support Milwaukee's historic preservation efforts?
With over 200 National Register listings spanning Italianate, Queen Anne, Beaux Arts, and Flemish Revival styles, Milwaukee has extensive preservation needs. Our terrestrial LiDAR scanners create archival-quality digital records of ornamental facades, structural systems, and interior details that support restoration planning and compliance with historic tax credit requirements.
Can 3D scanning be performed on complex modern structures like the Milwaukee Art Museum?
Yes, our equipment is well-suited for complex geometries. The Calatrava-designed Quadracci Pavilion's movable brise-soleil wings and cable-stayed structure can be captured with a combination of our FARO Focus Premium for high-accuracy point clouds and drone photogrammetry for the exterior roof forms and lakefront setting.
What scanning services support Milwaukee's warehouse conversion projects?
The Historic Third Ward and other Milwaukee districts feature 19th-century warehouses being converted to residential, retail, and office use. We provide scan-to-BIM services that capture existing heavy timber framing, masonry walls, and MEP systems, delivering detailed Revit models that architects use for adaptive reuse design.
How quickly can a scanning team reach Milwaukee?
The Future 3D offers a 1-hour response time for inquiries. Our teams deploy from Miami and New York with FARO Focus Premium, Leica RTC360, NavVis VLX 3, Matterport Pro3, and DJI Matrice 350 RTK platforms, equipped to handle any Milwaukee project from a single-room scan to a full campus survey.
Are drone inspections available for Milwaukee construction sites?
Yes, our FAA Part 107 certified pilots operate DJI Matrice 350 RTK drones for aerial scanning, facade inspection, and construction progress monitoring throughout the Milwaukee metro area. We handle all required airspace authorizations, including coordination near General Mitchell International Airport's controlled airspace.
