Get accurate as-built data, point clouds, and BIM models—fast and reliable.

3D Laser Scanning for Buildings - Precise As-Built Data & BIM Models

3D Laser Scanning for Buildings

At Arrival 3D, we deliver industry-leading 3D building scanning services tailored for architecture, engineering, and construction professionals. Using advanced terrestrial LiDAR and reality capture technology, we provide highly accurate as-built documentation, point clouds, and Scan to BIM models for buildings of all sizes and types. Whether you’re planning a renovation, retrofitting an existing structure, or managing facility data, our building scanning solutions ensure precise measurements and fast turnaround—helping you reduce costly rework and streamline your project from design to delivery.

3D laser scanning for buildings captures a precise 2D representation of elevation changes across every surface delivered as a millimeter-accurate bird’s-eye point cloud using LiDAR technology. Arrival3D powers pre & post-pour analysis, structural verification, facade inspection, MEP coordination, and scan-to-BIM workflows all from one site visit.

Let Us Scan Your Building Project

Our 3D Laser Building Scanning Services

From foundation to facade, Arrival3D’s building laser scanning services cover every system and surface, delivering data your team can actually use.

Structural Systems Scanning

Capture every column, beam, slab, and load-bearing wall at ±2mm accuracy. Verify structural geometry against design intent before and after every construction milestone.
1. Column, beam & slab position verification
2. Slab flatness & level analysis
3. Clash detection before costly rework
4. Revit & AutoCAD-ready delivery

Scan-to-BIM

Transform point cloud data into intelligent BIM models for construction coordination, clash detection, and facility management—delivered at LOD 100 through LOD 500.

1. LOD 100–500 Revit models
2. As-built documentation
3. Digital twin creation
4. Navisworks clash detection

MEP Systems Coordination

MEP every mechanical, electrical, and plumbing run as-built. Design new systems knowing exactly what's already installed—eliminating coordination conflicts before they become change orders.

1. Existing condition documentation
2. Clearance verification for new systems
3. Retrofit & renovation support Structural model coordination

Facade & Cladding Documentation

Document every surface of your building exterior—cladding alignment, window reveals, setbacks, and elevation deviations—with complete coverage and no missed areas.

1. Cladding & curtain wall alignment
2. Window reveal & setback depth mapping
3. Surface deviation color reports
4. Non-contact heritage building surveys

Pre & Post Pour Analysis

Verify rebar and formwork before the pour. Document exactly what was built after. Catch errors when correction is still fast—before concrete becomes permanent.

1. Rebar & formwork verification
2. Post-pour elevation deviation map
3. Certified as-built record
4. Updated BIM for next phase

Historic preservation & As-Built

Non-contact 3D scanning documents heritage buildings and complex existing conditions with no risk to fragile materials—creating permanent digital records for restoration and adaptive reuse.

1. Non-contact, non-destructive capture
2. Full exterior & interior documentation
3. Adaptive reuse as-built models

Our Process Step -by-Step

  • On-Site Scanning: Our technicians arrive on-site and begin the process by capturing millions of measurements every second using laser scanning technology.
  • Point Cloud Creation: Every aspect of your construction project is documented into a digital point cloud, allowing for detailed exploration.
  • Model Conversion: Depending on your project needs, we can convert the scan into a fully comprehensive digital model or provide the complete point cloud directly to you.
  • Project Insights: Gain a full perspective of your project, identifying both strengths and potential challenges.
  • Training & Support: We ensure you understand how to use the data effectively and provide on-site visits for support.
2D CAD Drawings

2D Floorplan, Section & Elevation Views

With a 3D laser scanning project, 2D drawings can be created in three ways:
  • Export from Revit BIM model
  • Create directly from scan point cloud
  • Scan slices for direct visualization
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..
Why Choose Arrival 3d?

Why Choose 3D Building Scanning?

Traditional measurement methods can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to human error. Our 3D laser scanning process replaces manual tools with millimeter-accurate data that’s fast, reliable, and repeatable. We help you capture the full geometry of a building—inside and out—in just a few hours.

Key Benefits:

  • Capture accurate as-built measurements in a fraction of the time

  • Generate 2D floor plans, 3D models, and BIM-ready files

  • Minimize project risk by reducing change orders and site revisits

  • Eliminate costly rework due to measurement errors

  • Easily integrate scan data into design and construction software (Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, etc.)
