Mobile SLAM Scanning in Washington DC — FAQ

How fast can you scan federal buildings?
NavVis VLX3 at 30,000 sq ft/hr. A 200,000 sq ft federal office building can be captured in about one day vs a full week with stationary scanners — minimizing disruption to government operations.
What accuracy?
±5mm relative accuracy. For GSA-grade precision requirements, we combine mobile SLAM with stationary scans at control points.
Can you scan active government facilities?
Yes — walking-speed scanning without tripods is minimally disruptive. We coordinate with facility security for access protocols and documentation handling requirements.
Deliverables?
Point clouds, 360° panoramas, floor plans, NavVis IVION platform format, and E57 for BIM workflows.
When choose mobile SLAM vs stationary?
Mobile SLAM for large spaces where speed matters — federal buildings, museum galleries, campus documentation. Stationary for maximum accuracy in mechanical rooms and tight spaces.

We also support USACE requirements with precision scan data for clash detection at 35%, 65%, and 90% design stages. Our team understands the procurement and documentation standards required for federal facility work.
Can you work in secured federal facilities in Washington DC?
We regularly work in environments with security protocols, including facilities requiring escort access and controlled documentation handling. We coordinate with facility security officers, follow established access procedures, and ensure all deliverables meet agency-specific information handling requirements. Contact us to discuss specific security considerations for your project.

Our coverage extends throughout the DMV region with avg 1-hour response time for projects in the District and immediate surrounding areas.
How does DC's historic preservation affect scanning projects?
Washington DC contains the L'Enfant Plan historic district and numerous individually designated landmarks. Our scanning captures architectural details — classical columns, ornamental stonework, decorative metalwork — with the precision needed for Historic Preservation Review Board submissions. We produce documentation that supports renovation approvals while respecting each building's character-defining features.
What types of projects do you handle most in DC?
Federal facility renovations and tenant improvements lead our DC workload, followed by commercial office fit-outs in Tysons and the K Street corridor, museum and cultural institution documentation, and historic building renovations in Georgetown and Capitol Hill. Government contractor facilities in Northern Virginia are also a significant segment.
What deliverable formats do you provide for DC projects?
We deliver registered point clouds (E57, RCP, LAS), AutoCAD-compatible drawings, and PDF reports. For federal projects, we also provide IFC-compatible scan data, COBie-ready documentation, and deliverables aligned with the National BIM Standard-United States. All scan data can be formatted to meet agency-specific submission requirements and is ready for direct import into Revit or other BIM platforms.
