How Can We Support Your Project?
At Existing Conditions, we deliver custom 3D laser scanning and BIM deliverables to help architects, builders, engineers, homeowners, and facility managers plan and execute projects with confidence.
Architects
Existing Conditions partners with the most well-known architecture firms in the United States. Architects need accurate documentation to design with confidence, and that's exactly what we deliver. At Existing Conditions, we lay the groundwork for architects. This makes coordination a breeze and eliminates the need for extra site visits. That means architects save time, avoid costly delays, and maintain steady progress on their projects. Architects can focus on creating great designs while we handle the rest.
