Arrival 3D provides 3D laser scanning in Houston for refineries, hospitals, offices and public buildings. We deliver registered point clouds in about 2 days and CAD drawings or Revit BIM models in about 5 days for a typical building. As-built documentation for a mid-size Houston commercial building typically costs $4,000–$14,000, with a fixed-price quote within 24 hours.
Houston projects rarely forgive bad existing-condition data. Congested process areas, dense MEP above ceilings, operating facilities, and fast renovation schedules all raise the cost of field surprises.
Arrival 3D provides professional 3D laser scanning services in Houston, Texas, to document buildings and sites with survey-grade LiDAR. Our teams capture accurate as-built conditions so architects, engineers, contractors, and owners can design, clash-check, fabricate, and plan with confidence.
Whether the scope is a restaurant renovation, a school or campus building, a civic landmark, or a complex industrial environment, we tailor scan density, registration, and deliverables to your tolerance and workflow requirements.
One Houston scan can support multiple teams, engineering, construction, VDC/BIM, facilities, and asset management from the same registered dataset.
Registered point clouds (E57, RCP) of buildings, plants and sites
Revit models at LOD 200–400 for renovation and coordination
Reliable existing-condition records for renovations, expansions, and compliance workflows.
AutoCAD floor plans, sections and elevations
Document congested mechanical spaces before design against them.

This extensive preparation ensures our team has both the technical knowledge and field experience to provide accurate, dependable data for planning, design, and construction workflows.
We are trusted by industry leaders because we have proven ourselves throughout projects by focusing on desired results.
Scan to BIM in Houston costs about $0.10–$0.80 per square foot, including scanning and Revit modeling. The level of detail (LOD) is the biggest cost driver.
Revit deliverable | Cost per sq ft (all-in) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
LOD 200 | $0.10 – $0.30 | Space planning, renovation concepts |
LOD 300 | $0.18 – $0.50 | Design, coordination, clash detection |
LOD 350+ / digital twin | $0.30 – $0.80+ | MEP coordination, facility management |
