What Is Building Condition Assessment Scanning?

Precise Building Condition Scanning for Reliable Asset Evaluation

Buildings change over time as materials deteriorate, MEP systems age and ongoing renovations make existing blueprints no longer useful for planning renovations, scheduling maintenance and assessing long-term capital needs. Arrival 3D understands the building industry professionals’ needs for precise and trustworthy documentation of their structures. So, we perform building laser scanning which is designed to help owners access current site information and manage their properties more effectively.

Arrival 3D uses advanced laser scanning technology to assess a building’s physical condition, system performance and remaining service life. Our team captures every space even nooks and corners to produce documentation that accurately reflects the building as it stands today. We even give customized outputs based on your needs such as 2D CAD drawings, 3D BIM models, laser scan datasets and virtual site access.

Arrival 3D provides high-precision 3D laser scanning and building condition assessments that help owners, engineers, and facility managers detect issues early, reduce risk, and plan repairs with confidence.

✔ Detect hidden structural issues
✔ Reduce costly surprises
✔ Make data-driven decisions

How It Works

Our Building Condition Scanning Process

Arrival 3D team moves from field data collection to final digital documentation, capturing site changes, preserving version history and organizing building data to deliver dependable digital twins. Our efficient workflow is as follows

Project Planning

Our team analyzes project goals, existing documents and site conditions to create an accurate scanning plan.

Site Access & Preparation

Our terrestrial laser scanning for buildings records a million measurements of the visible environment in real-time with high accuracy.

Data Integration

We align and integrate individual scans to create a coordinated point cloud to BIM conversion dataset of the building condition.

Modeling and Documentation

After this, the registered point clouds are imported into modeling software like Revit or AutoCAD then converted into digital files for 2D drawings, 3D building information models (BIM), as-built drawings or other project deliverables as per client requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Building Condition Assessment FAQs

Building Condition Assessment (BCA) inspection is a professional evaluation of a building’s current physical condition in which inspectors review structural components, building systems and exterior elements to identify deficiencies, maintenance needs and potential risks.

Our deliverables can be customized to match your workflow and standards but to get an idea, we deliver industry-standard formats such as

  1. Point Clouds: Autodesk ReCap (RCP/RCS), E57, PTS, LAS
  2. BIM & CAD Models: Revit, AutoCAD (DWG)
  3. Mesh Models: OBJ, FBX, STL

Building condition scanning typically costs between $3,000 and $10,000 or more, depending on the building’s size, complexity, accessibility and level of documentation required. On the other side, large facilities may be priced by square foot or per day of technician labor. Arrival 3D reviews each project’s scope and deliverables to ensure accurate pricing and the best possible outcome.

The strength of existing buildings is assessed using structural inspections, engineering analysis, material testing, examination of load-bearing elements, evaluation of construction papers and laser scans. This all helps to better understand existing conditions and decide whether the structure can safely handle loads or not.

The condition assessment of a building is a systematic methodology that follows a defined approach for evaluating a site’s overall condition which often involves documentation of the building’s structure and key systems such as HVAC, electrical and plumbing to check its working and requirements for any repairs. Our inspectors use reality capture technologies to identify flaws and provide reliable assessments.
