Let Us Scan Your Project

Comprehensive Retail 3D Laser Scanning Services

Retail stores are remodeled constantly and outdated drawings, inaccurate floor plans, and missing as-builts slow down every project. Arrival 3D replaces unreliable data with verified, millimeter-accurate spatial documentation your whole team can trust.

Store Remodels & Renovations

Existing drawings are often outdated or nonexistent. Our scans give architects and contractors accurate as-built conditions, fixture layouts, ceiling heights, structural columns, and MEP locations before a single wall is touched.

Multi-Location Rollouts

Franchises and national chains need consistent, standardized documentation across hundreds of stores. We deliver repeatable scan packages that keep your rollout on schedule regardless of how many locations are in the program.

Tenant Fit-Outs & Lease Documentation

Before signing a lease or beginning fit-out work, accurate floor plans and ceiling surveys are essential. We capture shell conditions quickly, so your team can design and cost the build-out with confidence.

Merchandising & Space Planning

Our scan-based models let visual merchandising and store planning teams digitally evaluate fixture placements, aisle widths, and traffic flow zones before making any physical changes to the sales floor.

Brand Standard Compliance

Ensuring every store in your portfolio matches brand standards is nearly impossible without accurate data. Our standardized scan packages make it easy to audit and document compliance across your entire network.

Permit & Construction Documentation

Permit submissions, construction drawings, and contractor bid packages all require accurate existing-conditions data. Our Revit models and CAD drawings are production-ready for the permitting and bidding process.

How does our retail scanning process work?

Arrival 3D uses a proven and efficient workflow for retail projects which helps us shorten the project schedules while outlets can remain operational. 

  1. On-site laser scanning

Our licensed specialists perform building laser scanning with survey-grade LiDAR technology in which scanners generate pulses that measure reflection times to record as-built conditions. We capture architectural layouts, structural elements, fixtures, ceiling heights, floor elevations and visible MEP systems while ensuring safe and efficient workflows in active retail environments.

  1. Registering and processing point clouds

The collected scan data is then registered and processed to create a single highly accurate point cloud scanning data that depicts the accurate existing conditions.

  1. Quality control and accuracy validation

Before modeling begins, we ensure each dataset is rigorously aligned and verified to ensure accuracy. So we go through internal quality control to ensure that the geometry, dimensions and level of detail meet agreed-upon criteria.

  1. Conversion to Required Deliverables

After this, our point cloud data is transformed into scan to CAD drawings, Revit BIM models or a virtual version of your store depending on the project requirements. These deliverables are customized to your retail objectives, timescales and desired level of information supporting retail space planning, store design, remodeling, rollouts and long-term portfolio management.

  1. Secure Digital Delivery

Final files are securely distributed through cloud platforms or hard drives allowing internal teams, architects, contractors and vendors to access and reuse data throughout the retail project lifecycle.

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), and turnaround timeline. Arrival 3D provides free, fixed-fee project estimates with no obligation — call (123) 456-7890 or request a quote online.
Scan to BIM converts LiDAR point cloud data captured at your Los Angeles project site into a fully coordinated 3D Building Information Model in Autodesk Revit at LOD 100 through LOD 500. Los Angeles architects, MEP engineers, and general contractors use scan to BIM for renovation coordination, clash detection, and permit documentation — particularly on existing buildings where accurate as-built data is unavailable, outdated, or was never created. Both architectural and MEP systems are modeled from the same field scan dataset, eliminating the need for multiple site visits.
Field scanning for a typical commercial building in Los Angeles (10,000–50,000 sq ft) takes one to two days. Larger industrial facilities or multi-building campuses may require three to five field days. Data processing and deliverable production takes 5–15 business days depending on scope and deliverable complexity. Rush turnaround is available for time-sensitive Los Angeles projects. Arrival 3D coordinates all site access scheduling directly with your team to minimize disruption to operations.

We also provide statewide coverage across California — view our California page for the full list of cities we serve. For projects outside California, Arrival 3D provides nationwide 3D scanning services across all 50 states.
Traditional tape and total-station measurement captures only the dimensions and points a surveyor manually selects — missing corners, curved surfaces, overhead conditions, and concealed features. 3D laser scanning captures millions of data points per second across every visible surface, eliminating the gaps that cause change orders and rework. For Los Angeles renovation and retrofit projects on existing buildings, the accuracy improvement from ±20mm to ±2mm, combined with the dramatic reduction in field time, typically produces positive ROI on any project larger than approximately 2,000 square feet.
