Chelsea Scan-to-BIM FAQ

Can you scan art galleries in Chelsea for exhibition documentation?
Yes, we regularly work with Chelsea galleries for exhibition documentation, renovation planning, and virtual tours. Our high-resolution scanning captures artwork placement and gallery architecture. We schedule around exhibition openings and can coordinate with gallery staff and artists.
How do High Line views affect scanning in Chelsea buildings?
High Line views through floor-to-ceiling windows are a major selling point for Chelsea properties. Our Matterport Pro3 uses HDR processing to balance bright High Line views with interior lighting. For marketing tours, we often recommend late afternoon captures when west-facing light is optimal.
Do you work with Chelsea Market tenants?
Yes, we work with Chelsea Market tenants for space documentation, renovation planning, and virtual tours. The Market's industrial architecture and high foot traffic require careful scheduling - typically early morning before opening. We're experienced with the unique characteristics of converted industrial spaces.
Can you fly drones near the High Line for building inspections?
Yes, with proper authorization. The High Line corridor requires coordination with NYC Parks in addition to FAA LAANC authorization. We plan flights during early morning hours before the park opens when possible, and coordinate with building management for rooftop takeoff when appropriate.
What's the difference between scanning pre-war Chelsea buildings vs. new High Line towers?
Pre-war Chelsea buildings (in the historic district) feature thick walls, irregular layouts, and smaller windows - requiring more scan positions but capturing unique architectural character. High Line towers have glass curtain walls, open floor plans, and modern systems - faster to scan but require careful handling of reflective surfaces and bright views. Our team adjusts approach based on building type.
