Pre-construction existing conditions
A measured record of the space before demo, so design and estimating work from reality instead of a rough field measure.
For General Contractors
Plan the renovation against the building that exists, not the one on the old drawings.
Existing-conditions surprises are where renovation budgets die, and they all trace back to record drawings that stopped matching the building years ago. We scan the space before you plan a thing, millimeter accuracy, one registered cloud, so your team designs and estimates against real geometry and coordinates the new work before demo. The conflicts show up on a screen instead of on the job, and the schedule holds.
You cannot plan a renovation against a building you have not measured.
Existing-conditions surprises are where renovation budgets go to die. A wall is not where the old drawings put it, a slab is out of level, a duct runs through the space the new work needs, and the crew finds out at demo with the clock running. The record drawings are rarely right, because decades of changes never made it back to paper.
A laser scan captures the building exactly as it stands before you plan a thing, as one registered point cloud at millimeter accuracy. Your design team works against real geometry, the renovation gets coordinated before demo, and the conflicts surface on a screen instead of on the job. Fewer change orders, fewer surprises, a schedule that holds.
Where a scan pays for itself
Clash-free renovation planning
New work coordinated against the real building, so the duct, the beam, and the new wall are resolved in the model, not discovered in the field.
Verification and closeout
Confirm what was built against what was drawn, and hand the owner an accurate as-built record at closeout.
Fast to capture, accurate to build against.
A terrestrial scanner captures a space to roughly two to four millimeters, dense enough that walls, slabs, structure, and systems all read at true size and position. Capture is quick, often a single visit, and the registered cloud becomes the shared reference every trade designs and coordinates against. Scanning open, before ceilings and walls close, is when it earns the most, because that is when the hidden conditions are still visible.
The scan turns into whatever the job needs: 2D drawings for permitting and estimating, a BIM model for coordination, or the raw cloud for your own team. The deliverable options and the level-of-development choices are on the point cloud to Revit page, and the terminology around what an as-built really is lives in as-built vs existing conditions.
Published prices.
| Deliverable | Price |
|---|---|
| Half-day scan (capture) | $1,500 to $2,300 to start |
| Full-day scan (capture) | $3,500 to $4,100 to start |
| Modeling from the scan | $0.10 / sq ft ($500 min) |
Capture is the scan itself. Drawings or a model from the scan are scoped to the space and the deliverable you need, so we confirm the number once we know the building. Tell us the square footage and whether you need 2D drawings, a model, or the cloud and we quote it.

Send us the building, the square footage, and what you are planning. We scan the existing conditions, deliver the drawings or model you need, and give you a measured record so the renovation runs against reality instead of a guess.
