How to get a quote

Written by Jared Curtis | Jun 24, 2020 2:23:00 PM

3D laser scans and Building Information Modeling (BIM) are the most cost-effective and precise methods for comprehensive building documentation available. They enable design, building and real estate professionals to accurately capture pre-construction conditions, calculate square footages, perform quantity takeoffs, assess structural elements for deformation, and much more. 

Do you have a building that needs to be documented? Follow these three easy steps to get a quote for your project today.

1. TELL US ABOUT YOUR PROJECT

To get started, we need to know the basics. Give us a call or send us an email describing your project, its location, the approximate square footage and, if the building is occupied, the hours we will be able to work. 

Simply put, no project is too big or too small. We provide quotes for industrial, institutional, healthcare, commercial and mixed-use projects, as well as single and multifamily residential buildings. No project is too far away either – we have documented projects throughout the entire world. 

2. PROVIDE BACKUP DOCUMENTS

Don’t worry about overwhelming us with information. The more detail you provide about your project, the more comprehensive your quote will be. 

Photos are typically the easiest way to give us a sense of the space(s) you want captured. Short videos are another great option. It is also very helpful to gather any existing architectural, mechanical or site plans you have on hand. If you don’t have these, you can check with your local Building Dept. to see if they have copies on file.  

3. PICK YOUR DELIVERABLES

Existing Conditions offers a variety of outputs to choose from. We can represent your project in 2D drawings, such as floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, interior and exterior elevations, MEPs diagrams and more. Our team can also transform the raw laser scans into highly detailed 3D  building information models with integrated point cloud data. 

Just let us know which file format(s) you prefer: CAD, Revit, or PDFs.
