Nothing compares to 3D scanning when it comes to accurately capturing as-built measurements of a large building. If you have been given the task of creating as-built drawings the old fashioned way, you know how challenging that can be. 3D scanning can relieve you of this burden. A long range 3D scanner can capture an entire facility in a matter of hours with an accuracy that is 1/8″ or better. 3D Scanning Services from Arrival 3D can make your architecture, engineering, construction, building, or documentation project more efficient and cut costs.

3D laser scanning is a highly accurate method of capturing as-built conditions of an existing building. With these accurate measurements, we can create an as-built Revit model at any level of detail you need. Through a process called “scan-to-BIM”, our expert modeling team quickly creates high quality, fully implemented Revit models. QA/QC is applied throughout the process, ensuring that you receive the quality result you expect. Other formats are available including AutoCAD DWG, Navisworks, STP, Solidworks and many more.
With a 3D laser scanning project, 2D drawings can be created in three ways:
We can redraw over scan sections to obtain standard 2D DXF/DWG line drawings. After creating the 3D CAD model, we can also generate standard drawings from BIM software such as Revit.
This data helps facility managers and project engineers save time by providing accurate building details for space planning and renovation. It aides in planning construction projects by providing general contractors and architects as-built documentation of the spaces under construction. Nothing compares to the benefits of 3D laser scanning for measurement accuracy, simplifying your work and reducing change orders..
The point cloud is your raw scan data. Point cloud data functions as a digital replica of your facility represented by millions of data points in 3D space. That point cloud data can be used all by itself within CAD design software for your projects. Our 3D laser scanning services create exceptionally accurate data of laser scanned buildings, architecture features, and complex site topography.
The 3D laser scanning process is highly adaptable and can be used on nearly any type of building. Engineering and architecture professionals can utilize scanning on high rise buildings as well as underground structures.
Whether you need to scan a small apartment or a mullti-story office building, Arrival 3D has the tools, techniques, and experience to make your project succeed. By adding laser scanning to your building project workflow, you simplify your own work while simultaneously increasing the accuracy and quality of the end result. Our technicians plan site visits and scans around your schedule and can even scan while the building is occupied. Our CAD designers are experts at working around any unneeded people or vehicles picked up in the scans as they prepare your models and drawings.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has become the standard operating procedure for construction projects and renovations. The truth is, all man-made structure are flawed to some degree. When renovating existing buildings, even if design drawings exist, the actual existing conditions of the building are going to be a little to a lot different. Our 3D laser scanning services for buildings and facilities can measure these existing conditions and transfer this precise knowledge to you in the form of a building information model in a modern CAD program such as Autodesk Revit.
Our entire company is geared toward getting you an accurate and high quality BIM model from your 3D scan in record time. With a QA/QC process at all stages during the project, you can be assured that you will receive an as-built Revit 3D model that meets industry standards, and more importantly, your standards.
The cost to 3D laser scan a building can also vary significantly depending on the same factors affecting the time it takes to do the scan. 3D scanning a small residential property may take a single day and is usually a minimum cost , whereas a mansion with many rooms may take a few days and cost 2-3X more depending on its complexity. A multi-story hotel or apartment building can take 3-5 days depending on the number of rooms, with cost factors including whether it is occupied and the level of modeling detail required in each room.
Factories and industrial plants are vastly different than residential scans and project scope varies widely. Some projects are sections or single rooms and can also be considered minimum cost, while others are massive – sometimes entire campuses consisting of multiple buildings – and can cost $100,000 or more. Historic buildings typically cost in the $15,000 – $30,000 range due to the accuracy and level of detail required to create the most true-to-life record possible.
3D laser scanning has numerous uses in construction, including everything from project visualization to quality control.
Long-range scanning on a construction site typically requires the use of terrestrial laser scanners. These scanners are specifically designed to capture detailed 3D data over extended distances, making them well-suited for construction and surveying applications where large areas need to be scanned with high accuracy. Examples of well-known manufacturers of terrestrial laser scanners used for long-range scanning in construction include Leica Geosystems, FARO Technologies, Trimble, and RIEGL, among others. The choice of scanner depends on the specific needs of the construction project. That’s why it’s essential that you work with experienced professionals, such as those here at Arrival 3D, who can select the right scanner for the project scope and budget.
3D laser scanning services can provide significant benefits to a wide range of projects across various industries. However, certain types of projects tend to benefit the most from the use of 3D laser scanning due to their complexity, need for accuracy, and potential for cost savings.
