Let Us Scan Your Project

Our 3D Scanning Services in Los Angeles, CA

Every service uses the same survey-grade LiDAR field data, processed into the specific deliverable your project requires. All outputs are customized to your file format, coordinate system, and level-of-detail requirements.

Scan to BIM Services

We convert LiDAR point clouds into fully coordinated Revit BIM models at LOD 100 through LOD 500. Our scan-to-BIM deliverables include architectural, structural, and MEP systems and are used by architects and engineers throughout Los Angeles for design coordination, clash detection, and permit documentation. All models are delivered in RVT and IFC formats.

As-Built Documentation

Arrival 3D captures the existing conditions of buildings and infrastructure and produces certified as-built drawings in 2D CAD and PDF. As-built documentation is essential for renovation planning, tenant improvements, real estate due diligence, and code compliance projects across LA County. We deliver DWG, PDF, and georeferenced formats within your required timeline.

Point Cloud Processing

We register, clean, and deliver structured point clouds in E57, RCP, RCS, and PTX formats. Color or greyscale output is available. Processed point clouds are immediately usable in Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, and third-party reality capture platforms. We also provide point cloud alignment to project coordinate systems and benchmarks for surveying compliance.

Digital Twin Creation

We build interactive digital twins that mirror the physical layout, MEP systems, and asset data of your facility. Digital twins support ongoing facility management, predictive maintenance, space planning, and remote operations delivered with virtual walkthrough capability and embedded measurement tools.

3D Laser Scanning FAQs — Los Angeles

3D laser scanning uses pulsed laser beams to measure millions of points on a surface per second, creating a precise digital representation of a physical space known as a point cloud. Arrival 3D’s LiDAR systems rotate 360° to capture full interior and exterior environments in a single field session. The resulting point cloud is then registered, cleaned, and processed into as-built drawings, BIM models, digital twins, or scan-to-CAD outputs depending on what your project requires.
Arrival 3D’s Leica LiDAR systems achieve ±2mm positional accuracy under standard conditions survey-grade performance suitable for MEP clash detection, structural analysis, renovation planning, and legal as-built documentation. Accuracy can vary slightly based on scan range, surface reflectivity, and ambient conditions, but our project managers assess site conditions before each engagement to ensure the specified accuracy is consistently achieved.

3D laser scanning costs in Los Angeles typically range from approximately $1,500 for small single-floor commercial spaces to $25,000 or more for large industrial facilities or multi-building campuses. Pricing depends on the total square footage, number of scan stations required, deliverable type (point cloud only vs. full BIM model vs. digital twin), number of floors, and required turnaround time. Arrival 3D provides free, fixed-fee project estimates – call 866-687-7784 or request a quote online.

Field scanning for a typical commercial building in the 10,000–50,000 sq ft range is completed in one to two days. Larger industrial facilities or multi-building campuses may require three to five field days. Data processing and deliverable production, point cloud registration, BIM modeling, or CAD drafting typically takes 5–15 business days depending on project scope and deliverable complexity. Rush turnaround is available for time-sensitive projects. Arrival 3D coordinates all site access scheduling directly with your team to minimize disruption.
As-built drawings are 2D CAD representations of a building’s actual current state, typically delivered as DWG or PDF files. They show floor plans, elevations, and sections at specified scales for use in renovation design, permitting, and facility documentation. Scan to BIM, by contrast, produces a 3D Building Information Model (BIM) in Autodesk Revit or similar platforms, incorporating geometry, MEP systems, and element metadata at LOD 100 through LOD 500. Both deliverables can be produced from the same LiDAR field dataset, and many Arrival 3D projects include both.
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser pulses to measure distance directly and generates accurate geometry regardless of surface texture or lighting conditions, making it the preferred technology for interiors, mechanical spaces, and low-light environments. Photogrammetry derives 3D geometry by analyzing overlapping photographs and works best on well-lit exterior surfaces with rich texture and visible detail. Arrival 3D is experienced with both technologies and recommends the optimal method or a hybrid approach combining ground-based LiDAR with aerial photogrammetry based on your specific project conditions and budget.
Arrival 3D delivers point clouds in E57, RCP, RCS, and PTX formats. BIM models are delivered in Revit (RVT) and IFC. 2D CAD drawings are provided in DWG and PDF. 3D mesh models are available in OBJ, FBX, and STL. Drone outputs include GeoTIFF, LAS, and DEM. Additional formats including DXF are available upon request. If your project requires a specific format or coordinate system, let us know during the consultation phase and we will confirm compatibility before mobilizing.
