NoHo LiDAR Drone Surveying & Mapping FAQ

What makes NoHo lofts unique for scanning?
NoHo lofts feature exposed original structure from the 1880s-1910s: cast-iron columns, timber beams, brick walls, and often 12-14 foot ceilings. These authentic industrial details are precisely what our scanning captures and what makes these properties valuable. Unlike newer construction, the original craftsmanship provides irreplaceable character.
Can you document exposed brick and timber for renovation planning?
Yes, our laser scanning captures the exact dimensions and condition of exposed structural elements. This documentation helps architects design around original features and ensures renovations preserve historic fabric. The 3D data shows precisely where structural elements are located for MEP routing and design decisions.
How do you handle the high ceilings typical in NoHo lofts?
NoHo lofts commonly have 12-14+ foot ceilings. We use elevated scanner positions with tripod extensions and strategic scanner placement to capture full floor-to-ceiling data. For Matterport tours, we capture multiple heights to show the impressive vertical space. The scanning process takes slightly longer but ensures complete coverage.
Do NoHo loft renovations require LPC approval?
Interior renovations generally don't require LPC approval unless they affect landmarked interior features. However, NoHo is in a historic district, so any exterior changes need LPC review. Our scanning documents existing conditions that support both interior renovation planning and LPC applications for exterior work.
What's the typical cost to scan a NoHo penthouse?
NoHo penthouses typically range from $2,500-5,000 for comprehensive scanning depending on size, levels, and deliverables. A 4,000 sqft penthouse with rooftop terrace, laser scan, and scan-to-BIM project might be $4,000-5,000. Matterport-only tours are less.
