Capture highly detailed and precise as-built 3D models of your building or facility along with color panoramic photos of the site for thorough as-built documentation
Engineers, architects, construction managers, surveyors, and facility managers across the world trust on 3D laser scanning technology also known as LiDAR scanning, reality capture, and high-definition surveying (HDS) to capture site conditions with millimeter-level precision. By eliminating manual tape measurements or traditional total station surveys, this advanced surveying method captures millions of data points in seconds, producing as-built documentation, point clouds and digital models. Whether for renovation, retrofit, restoration, or space repurposing, our expert 3d surveying services deliver reliable point clouds, CAD drawings, BIM models and digital twins that streamline projects and support smarter decision-making.
Our experienced field technicians use aerial drones, terrestrial tripod scanners and mobile LiDAR system to capture built environments and landscapes in full 3D details. 3D laser Scanning is non-intrusive, fast and contactless, projects can be scanned without site shutdowns or disruptions. Hazardous or hard-to-reach areas such as industrial equipment, refinery piping, high ceilings, or structural voids can be safely documented from a distance, making this process far safer than manual measurement or traditional surveying methods. With scanning speeds that drastically reduce field time, our reality capture services are both cost-effective and highly efficient.
We provide ready-to-use digital 3D models deliverables tailored to your workflows. We generate native CAD and BIM models in platforms like Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks and SolidWorks, as well as neutral file formats such as STEP, Parasolid or polygon meshes. Beyond 3D modeling, we deliver 2D drawing packages including floor plans, sections, elevations, and site maps. Our services also support color panoramic imagery, virtual walk-throughs, online digital twins, and color-coded deviation analysis reports, enabling you to visualize, analyze, and share accurate data instantly. These outputs empower teams to design, plan, fabricate, and manage facilities with confidence.
We spend the necessary time to LISTEN, learning your project needs, discussing requirements, and scheduling the scan
Our expert technicians deploy the most suitable LiDAR technology to meticulously capture millions of data points on your site.
Raw point cloud data undergoes rigorous processing, cleaning, and registration using advanced industry-leading software.
We deliver precise 3D models, 2D CAD drawings & as-built documentation in your preferred format (Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks) ready for immediate use.

Yes, we provide 3D scanning, modeling, and related services across all 50 states, including:
3D scanning is a method of capturing the exact shape and dimensions of physical objects or environments and converting them into detailed digital models. It’s commonly used to document buildings, industrial sites, equipment, and other structures with high precision.
How It Works:
Capturing Data:
A 3D scanner emits laser beams or structured light that reflects off surfaces. The time or angle of the reflected signal is measured to determine distances.
Creating a Point Cloud:
The scanner collects millions of individual measurements, known as a point cloud—a set of 3D data points that represent the surface geometry of the scanned object or space.
Modeling the Data:
The point cloud is processed using specialized software to produce deliverables such as 2D CAD drawings, 3D models, BIM files, or digital twins, depending on the project’s requirements.
Where It’s Used:
3D scanning is used in architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, historical preservation, oil and gas, and other sectors for tasks like renovation planning, as-built documentation, and site analysis.

If we fail to deliver the result that we promised, and we can’t make it right, you don’t pay.
What is the cost of 3D laser scanning per square foot?
The cost typically ranges from $0.05 to $1.00 per square foot, depending on the level of detail, project complexity, and deliverables like point clouds, CAD, or BIM models.
Our 3D scanning technology delivers high-precision results with typical accuracy ranging from ±1 mm to ±6 mm, depending on the scanner used and site conditions. We utilize the highly precise, Swiss-made Leica RTC360 and other survey grade instruments. We follow rigorous QA/QC processes to ensure reliable and repeatable accuracy.
