3D laser scanning — also known as LiDAR scanning or reality capture — uses pulsed laser beams to measure millions of surface points per second, producing a precise digital record of a physical space called a point cloud. Arrival 3D’s Leica Scan Station P-Series and Leica RTC360 scanners capture up to 2 million points per second at ±2mm positional accuracy.
The raw point cloud is then registered, cleaned, and processed into the deliverable format your San Jose project requires: as-built drawings, Revit BIM models, digital twins, scan-to-CAD files, or all of the above. The entire process — from field capture to final delivery — is managed by Arrival 3D’s certified project managers.
For San Jose architects, engineers, and contractors, 3D laser scanning replaces days of manual field measurement with hours of precise, comprehensive data capture — reducing errors, preventing costly revisits, and accelerating your project schedule.
Every Arrival 3D service in San Jose uses the same Leica survey-grade LiDAR equipment and certified project management team, processed into the specific deliverable format your project requires.
We convert LiDAR point clouds from San Jose project sites into fully coordinated Revit BIM models at LOD 100–500. Architectural, structural, and MEP systems are all modeled from the same field dataset — used by San Jose design teams for renovation coordination, clash detection, and permit documentation. Delivered in RVT and IFC formats.
Arrival 3D captures existing conditions of San Jose buildings and infrastructure and produces certified as-built drawings in 2D CAD and PDF. Essential for renovation planning, tenant improvements, real estate due diligence, and code compliance projects across San Jose. Delivered in DWG and PDF within your required timeline and to any scale specification.
We register, clean, and deliver structured point clouds from San Jose scan sessions in E57, RCP, RCS, and PTX formats. Color or greyscale output available. Processed point clouds are immediately usable in Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks. We provide alignment to project coordinate systems and benchmarks for San Jose surveying compliance requirements.
We build interactive digital twins of San Jose facilities that mirror physical layout, MEP systems, and asset data. Digital twins support facility management, predictive maintenance, space planning, and remote operations for commercial, healthcare, and industrial campuses across the San Jose metro area — delivered with virtual walkthrough capability and embedded measurement tools.
For manufacturing plants, refineries, power facilities, and process equipment in the San Jose area, Arrival 3D performs precise as-built documentation of complex piping, structural steel, and mechanical equipment. Our industrial scanning in San Jose supports turnaround planning, plant expansion, retroactive documentation, and safety compliance — with zero-interruption field protocols for active facilities.
For large sites, rooftops, and outdoor infrastructure in San Jose and surrounding areas, Arrival 3D deploys UAV-mounted LiDAR and photogrammetry systems to capture aerial point clouds and orthomosaics. Used for site surveys, roof assessments, topographic mapping, and large-format infrastructure documentation. All San Jose drone operations comply with FAA Part 107 and local airspace requirements.
From LiDAR data captured at San Jose project sites, we produce accurate 2D floor plans, elevations, sections, and isometric drawings in AutoCAD DWG format. Used by San Jose architects and facility managers for permit submissions, lease documentation, space planning, and ongoing building operations. Available at any scale with full annotation.

Arrival 3D brings industry-specific experience, safety protocols, and certified equipment to every sector in San Jose.
For existing buildings and industrial facilities in San Jose, LiDAR scanning consistently outperforms traditional measurement on every dimension that matters for project success — accuracy, speed, data richness, and ROI.
LiDAR performs reliably in the enclosed mechanical rooms, basements, and low-light interiors common in San Jose's older commercial and industrial building stock. Photogrammetry excels on well-lit exteriors. Arrival 3D selects the optimal technology — or a hybrid — based on your specific San Jose site conditions.
Any San Jose renovation, retrofit, or industrial documentation project larger than 2,000 sq ft typically produces positive ROI from 3D scanning — the time saved on field measurement and the errors avoided in design coordination outweigh the scanning cost on the vast majority of projects.

Scan to BIM converts LiDAR point cloud data captured at your San Jose project site into a fully coordinated 3D Building Information Model in Autodesk Revit at LOD 100 through LOD 500. San Jose 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 San Jose (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 San Jose projects. Arrival 3D coordinates all site access scheduling directly with your team to minimize disruption to operations.

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 San Jose 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.
