Existing Conditions created a precise BIM model of the NY Stock Exchange.

The Benefits of 3D Laser Scanning

Fast, Accurate Data Collection: A single laser scan captures millions of 3D data points per second, eliminating human error and producing rich, detailed digital representations of buildings and sites.
Record Exact Dimensions and Spatial Relationships: Point cloud datasets are dimensionally accurate, measurable, and shareable for precise planning and collaboration.
Minimized Site Visits and Disruption: High-detail scans are completed quickly, reducing on-site disruption and limiting the need for return site visits.
Accurate Design Plans: Reliable design plans are created from the start, expediting field work and reducing change orders, delays, and overall project costs.
Enhanced Project Efficiency: Custom point clouds, CAD drawings, and BIM models tailored to your in-house templates minimize design revisions, support clash detection, and enable prefabrication.
Improved Team Communication: Easily share data with architects, engineers, and contractors for informed decision-making and smooth construction coordination.
Versatile Applications: Ideal for construction, architecture, facility upgrades, historical preservation, and more, 3D laser scanning is a valuable tool across many industries.

Our 3D Laser Scanning Process

Step 1: Mobilize: With nationwide service and fast mobilization, we partner with you to define the project scope, timeline, site conditions, equipment, and technical requirements to ensure the right 3D laser scanning solution for your project.
Step 2: Scan: Using construction-grade 3D laser scanners, we quickly and accurately capture your building or site, including architectural, structural, and MEP layouts.
Step 3: Process: We clean, align, and register 3D laser scan data into a unified point cloud, creating a reliable foundation for models and drawings.
Step 4: Produce: Based on your specifications, we convert scan data into custom deliverables, including 3D BIM models, 2D CAD drawings, and floor plans in your preferred format, such as Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks, ready for immediate use.
Step 5: Review: Every deliverable is quality-checked for accuracy and prepared for seamless integration into your workflow. Your final approval ensures everything meets your expectations.
Step 6: Support and Consulting: You receive expert guidance and priority support to maximize the value of your as-built data, keeping your project on time, on budget, and safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Existing Conditions conduct reality capture services? Existing Conditions uses LiDAR-based 3D laser scanning and photogrammetry to collect millions of data points on any site to document its existing conditions. The data is processed into point clouds and can be converted into 2D CAD drawings or 3D BIM models, enabling precise planning and coordination across disciplines.
Are reality capture and a digital twin the same thing? No. Reality capture is the process of collecting spatial data from the physical world. A digital twin is a dynamic, data-rich virtual replica of a physical asset that integrates real-time data and analytics. Reality capture provides the foundational geometry for a digital twin, and Existing Conditions can provide both, tailored to your needs.
What’s a BIM or 3D BIM model? A Building Information Model (BIM) is a digital representation of a facility’s physical and functional characteristics. A 3D BIM model includes geometry, spatial relationships, and embedded data, supporting design, construction, and lifecycle management through enhanced collaboration and visualization.
How accurate is Existing Conditions 3D laser scanning? Existing Conditions delivers commercial-grade accuracy using high-resolution LiDAR scanners, survey-grade controls, and registration. Accuracy depends on project scope requirements, but typically achieves tolerances within 2 to 6 millimeters, suitable for construction, renovation, clash detection, and prefabrication.
