Raleigh LiDAR Drone Surveying & Mapping FAQ

What 3D scanning services are available in Raleigh?
The Future 3D provides comprehensive 3D laser scanning, drone inspection, scan-to-BIM, and LiDAR surveying services throughout the Raleigh-Durham metro area. Our team deploys FARO Focus Premium and Leica RTC360 scanners for interior and exterior capture, with a guaranteed 1-hour response time for urgent project needs.
How is 3D scanning used for Raleigh's historic preservation projects?
Raleigh has numerous National Register properties including the State Capitol, Historic Oakwood, and mid-century modern landmarks. 3D laser scanning creates precise digital records of these structures, documenting ornamental details, structural conditions, and spatial relationships to support preservation compliance and renovation planning.
Can 3D scanning support data center construction in the Research Triangle?
Absolutely. The Research Triangle is experiencing a massive data center construction boom, with multi-billion-dollar campuses under development. Our scanning services provide precise as-built documentation for MEP coordination, floor flatness verification, and construction progress monitoring critical to these technically demanding facilities.
What types of buildings does The Future 3D scan in Raleigh?
We serve the full spectrum of Raleigh's construction market—from adaptive office reuse projects and multi-family residential developments to life sciences warehouses, university facilities at NC State, and historic landmark documentation. Our equipment handles projects of any scale.
How does drone scanning work for Raleigh construction sites?
Our DJI Matrice 350 RTK drones capture aerial LiDAR and photogrammetry data for large-scale site surveys, roof inspections, and construction progress monitoring. We coordinate all necessary FAA authorizations for flights in the Raleigh area, including near RDU International Airport.
What is scan-to-BIM and how does it benefit Raleigh contractors?
Scan-to-BIM converts 3D laser scan data into intelligent Revit models that architects and contractors can use for clash detection, renovation planning, and MEP coordination. With North Carolina's construction employment growing steadily, accurate digital documentation helps Raleigh firms reduce rework and accelerate project timelines.
