3D Laser Scanning

We specialize in 3D laser scanning for buildings of every type and condition, from historic structures to new construction. Using industry-leading terrestrial LiDAR scanners, our Project Managers collect millions of data points with a high level of accuracy. This data becomes the basis for all our documentation services, supporting confident planning and design.

‍

Point Clouds

Point cloud data is the foundational output of 3D laser scanning. Using LiDAR technology, we capture millions of X, Y, and Z coordinates across all visible surfaces of a site, structure, or terrain. This high-resolution spatial data forms a detailed digital representation of existing conditions.

At Existing Conditions, our experienced team uses cutting-edge Leica laser scanners to produce point clouds with a high level of accuracy. These files are fully compatible with CAD and BIM platforms, allowing for efficient design, analysis, and coordination. For many clients, the point cloud itself is a complete and ready-to-use resource, ideal for measurement, visualization, and planning without requiring further modeling.

‍

As-Built Drawings

The Existing Conditions Mapping and Modeling Team converts point cloud data into accurate as-built drawings using advanced CAD software. Additionally, our team develops detailed 3D models in BIM software and extracts accurate 2D views through model slicing.

Our deliverables include site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, details, isometric views, and reflected ceiling plans – critical resources for construction planning, renovations, and building modifications. We work within your templates and standards, ensuring the as-builts are fully integrated and ready for immediate application in your projects.

3D BIM Models

Building Information Modeling (BIM) combines point cloud data with intelligent 3D models for use throughout the building lifecycle. Existing Conditions integrates scan-to-BIM technology with embedded spatial, material, and cost data which enables you to have situational awareness of your most valuable assets. This workflow supports design, construction, and facilities management from concept through operation.

‍

3D Mesh

Our Mapping & Modeling Team can extract 3D meshes in .fbx, .stl, .obj, or .ply formats directly from point clouds. These meshes provide complex geometry in CAD environments without requiring point cloud navigation. Ideal for organic forms and fine details, 3D meshes are frequently used in restoration, sculpture preservation, and digital replication of trees or historic elements.

Virtual Tours

Virtual Site Visits by Existing Conditions provide streamlined, cost-effective access to spatial data from any device – no downloads required. This platform allows you to remotely analyze, plan, and manage buildings by converting physical spaces into intelligent, data-rich environments that drive informed decision-making across the building lifecycle.

We also deliver Leica TruView, a free, industry-standard platform for visualizing and sharing point cloud data on Windows, available as a portable USB version or desktop installation, both requiring compatible hardware for optimal performance.

A virtual tour of your project enables efficient remote collaboration and informed decision-making without site visits – which significantly reduces travel time. Our SiteMap^® (patent pending) GIS platform enhances this experience by securely organizing and contextualizing spatial data for seamless project management.

‍

Digital Twins

Digital twins are dynamic, data-integrated virtual models of physical assets, systems, or processes that enable you to simulate, monitor, and manage all phases of your project – from design through operations. By aggregating inputs from 3D BIM, IoT sensors, and GIS platforms, digital twins deliver a centralized, real-time view of the built environment, improving operational efficiency, accelerating decision-making, and supporting sustainable outcomes.

Its implementation enhances workflow automation, cross-functional collaboration, and the elimination of manual processes across your project team.
