South Beach Scan-to-BIM FAQ

Can you scan a South Beach nightclub during operating hours?
No, we capture nightclubs and entertainment venues during closed hours to ensure quality and avoid disrupting operations. Most South Beach venues are available 10 AM - 4 PM. We coordinate with venue management to schedule optimal capture windows that don't interfere with setup or breakdown.
Are drone flights possible over Ocean Drive for photography?
Drone flights in South Beach are severely restricted due to FAA Class B airspace, crowd density, and City of Miami Beach regulations. When permitted, flights are only possible early morning (before 8 AM) on weekdays. For most projects, we recommend ground-based photography or work with our partner aviation services for special circumstances.
How do you handle Art Deco building documentation for Historic Preservation Board submissions?
Our laser scanning captures ornamental Art Deco details with millimeter accuracy, creating documentation that meets HPB requirements for renovation applications. We understand Secretary of the Interior Standards and can provide deliverables formatted for preservation compliance review.
What's the turnaround time for a South Beach hotel virtual tour?
For a typical South Beach hotel capturing lobby, select rooms/suites, and amenities, on-site capture takes 3-5 hours. Finished Matterport tours are delivered within 24-48 hours. For larger projects with multiple room types and extensive amenity spaces, we provide detailed timelines during the proposal phase.
Can you create virtual tours of South Beach condos with ocean views?
Our Matterport Pro3 excels at capturing condos with floor-to-ceiling windows and ocean views. We use HDR processing to balance bright exterior light with interior spaces. For marketing-quality tours, we often recommend golden hour or twilight captures when lighting showcases both the unit and the famous South Beach views.
