Existing Conditions 3D Laser Scanning Services explained

Capture highly detailed and accurate digital measurements of buildings and infrastructure.

3D laser scanning uses LiDAR to capture precise building dimensions, locations, and layouts, creating as-built drawings and 3D BIM models. This real-time data improves collaboration, reduces design errors, streamlines workflows, and enhances project efficiency for architects, builders, engineers, and developers.

What to Expect

Our 3D Laser Scanning Process

01

Plan

At Existing Conditions, our team evaluates your project scope, site conditions, and technical specifications to deliver precise 3D laser scanning. Through careful pre-scan planning and selection of capture technologies, software, and Level of Development (LOD), we ensure data meets your project standards.
02

Reality Capture

The Project Manager selects the appropriate laser scanning technology – terrestrial or Matterport – based on the project’s scale, detail, and accuracy requirements. The scanner captures millions of X, Y, and Z coordinates, delivering dimensional accuracy and a comprehensive spatial dataset aligned with the project’s scope and objectives.
03

Registration & Processing

The Existing Conditions Mapping & Modeling team processes point cloud data by removing noise, redundant points, and extraneous objects, aligning the scans to real-world coordinate systems. This optimized dataset forms the basis for accurate 3D Revit models, 3D meshes, and 2D CAD drawings tailored to the project’s specifications.
04

Quality Assurance

Our Mapping & Modeling team implements a rigorous quality assurance process for all point cloud datasets and deliverables, delivering high accuracy, consistency, and reliability across every project.
05

Delivery

Existing Conditions provides data, as-built documentation, and 3D Revit models in customized file formats, including GIS and SiteMap integration. Our technical team ensures smooth onboarding and ongoing support, making it easy to navigate point cloud data, even for those new to 3D laser scanning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is As-Built Documentation?

As-built documentation is an accurate set of record drawings for a project. They reflect all changes made during the construction process and show the exact dimensions, geometry, and location of all building elements and infrastructure.

What is LiDAR?

LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing method used to generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape of an object and its surface characteristics. 3D laser scanners utilize LiDAR technology to precisely capture the three-dimensional data of a structure or site. LiDAR operates by emitting light as a pulsed laser to measure distances to a target. When these laser pulses bounce back to the scanner, the distances are recorded, mapping the spatial geometry of the area. This process collects millions of measurement points, each with x, y, and z coordinates, forming what is known as a point cloud.

What is Terrestrial Laser Scanning?

Terrestrial laser scanning uses a tripod-based laser scanner to capture highly accurate data on buildings, structures, equipment, utilities, and processes to plan for construction, renovation, and modifications. Terrestrial laser scanning is a non-contact and non-destructive technology that digitally captures the shape of physical objects using laser light. In addition, it can capture digital photos of the same area being scanned, which can be used to create photorealistic 3D models.

What is a 3D BIM Model?

A building information model (BIM) is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a building or infrastructure project. BIM stores all the information about a building's life cycle in one place, including design, construction, and operational data, which can be used for planning, renovation, and maintenance. It provides accurate spatial relationships and manufacturer details, as well as geographic information and other pertinent aspects of the building.
