Arrival 3D provides professional 3D laser scanning services throughout Texas, helping architects, engineers, general contractors, and facility owners capture accurate existing conditions for renovation, expansion, construction coordination, and industrial projects.
Our reality capture services support projects in Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and other Texas locations. From complex manufacturing facilities and industrial plants to commercial buildings, educational campuses, and government facilities, we transform physical environments into reliable digital documentation.
Using professional laser scanning equipment, including the Leica RTC360, our team captures detailed spatial measurements and processes the data into registered point clouds, 2D CAD drawings, and 3D BIM models.
Our Texas 3D laser scanning deliverables include:
Registered point clouds (RCP, E57, and other agreed formats)
As-built floor plans, elevations, and sections
Scan-to-BIM models developed in Autodesk Revit
Architectural, structural, and MEP existing-condition documentation
Industrial equipment and piping documentation
Data for renovation planning, design coordination, and facility management
Whether your project involves an existing commercial building, a manufacturing facility, or a complex industrial site, Arrival 3D can help your team establish a dependable understanding of existing conditions before design or construction begins.
Field capture with Leica RTC360 and P-Series scanners, NavVis VLX mobile mapping and drone LiDAR, delivered as registered point clouds.
Architectural, structural and MEP Revit models built from the point cloud at LOD 200 to 400, ready for coordination and clash detection
Floor plans, sections, elevations and reflected ceiling plans drawn from measured data.
Plants, equipment, piping, and pipe racks captured for retrofits, tieins and shutdown planning.
Above-ceiling ducts, piping, conduit and equipment captured for coordination and prefabrication.
Accurate 3D scans for optimized maintenance, space planning, and asset management and tagging.
High-resolution aerial mapping and 3D modeling for accurate, efficient project insights
Tanks, towers, bridges, stadiums and large sites scanned from a distance.
Accurate documentation of existing structures for renovations, permits, and project planning.
Let’s unlock your building project’s full potential with our top-tier 3D laser scanning services. By sharing the key details below, we can bring your vision to life while ensuring precision and efficiency at every stage!
We support projects in every major Texas metro. For local details, project examples and city-specific FAQs, visit the page for your city.
Industrial, energy, petrochemical, healthcare and commercial projects across Greater Houston and the Gulf Coast.
Hotels, offices, water treatment plants and renovations across Dallas and the DFW metroplex.
Government buildings, university campuses, data centers and commercial projects in Central Texas.
Industrial, commercial and municipal projects across Tarrant County and North Texas.
Facility documentation, renovations and as-built surveys across Bexar County and South Texas.
Typically LOD 200 for space planning, LOD 300 for design and coordination and LOD 400 for fabrication. We agree on LOD in the proposal so you only pay for the detail you will use.
Arrival 3D is the leading provider of 3D laser scanning services in Texas, delivering unmatched accuracy and expertise on every project. Our highly trained Project Managers use state-of-the-art equipment, including the Leica Scan Station P-Series and Leica RTC360 3D laser scanners, capable of capturing up to 2 million data points per second with 2–4 millimeters of precision.
Each Project Manager undergoes the most comprehensive training program in the industry, including 80 hours of hands-on classroom instruction, 320 hours of field mentorship, and an additional 40 hours of specialized LiDAR training. This extensive preparation ensures our team has both the technical knowledge and field experience to provide accurate, dependable data for planning, design, and construction workflows.

Arrival 3D provides 3D laser scanning across Texas, including Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, El Paso, the Permian Basin and the Beaumont–Port Arthur area. We also handle multi-city Texas programs under one scope and quote.
We scan refineries, chemical plants, manufacturing facilities, data centers, hospitals, offices, hotels, campuses, stadiums, water treatment plants and historic buildings.
Yes. We regularly scan operating plants and follow site safety requirements, including FRC clothing, orientations and permits. Scanning is planned around shutdowns and turnarounds when needed.
A point cloud is best if your team will model in-house. 2D CAD drawings suit renovations, permits and space planning. A Revit model is best for design coordination, clash detection and prefabrication. Many projects combine all three.
Professional terrestrial laser scanning typically delivers accuracy of about ±1–6 mm, depending on range, scanner settings and registration. The tolerance for your deliverable is stated in each proposal.
Arrival 3D projects typically cost $1,500 to $80,000+, depending on size, site type, access, deliverables and LOD. Mid-size commercial as-builts usually run $4,000 to $14,000. We provide a fixed price after scoping.
Most buildings are scanned in one to several days, depending on size and access. Deliverables typically follow in about one to four weeks, depending on the level of modeling. Rush schedules are available.
