Chinatown Scan-to-BIM FAQ

Can you scan Chinatown restaurant spaces?

Yes, we work with Chinatown restaurants for marketing tours and renovation planning. Our portable Leica BLK360 and Matterport Pro3 handle the compact spaces typical of Chinatown storefronts. We coordinate with your operations schedule to minimize disruption during business hours.

Is Chinatown a designated historic district?

Chinatown is part of the Chinatown and Little Italy Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places (since 2010), but this is NOT a local LPC designation. There are no local landmark restrictions - alterations and renovations follow standard DOB permits without LPC review.

How do you handle access in walk-up buildings?

Most Chinatown tenements are walk-up buildings without elevators. Our equipment is specifically chosen for portability - the Leica BLK360 is compact and lightweight enough to carry up multiple flights. We work efficiently in the narrow staircases and tight spaces typical of these historic buildings.

Do you work with mixed-use buildings (commercial + residential)?

Yes, mixed-use buildings are common in Chinatown - typically ground-floor retail or restaurant with residential apartments above. We can scan both commercial and residential portions, providing comprehensive documentation for the entire building or specific units as needed.

What's the typical cost to scan a Chinatown storefront?

Chinatown storefront scanning typically ranges from $800-1,800 depending on size and deliverables. A 1,500 sqft restaurant with Matterport tour might be $1,000-1,200. Laser scanning with floor plans for renovation costs more. We provide detailed quotes based on your specific needs.
