This Is How We Operate:
Understanding the motivation behind your project is key to ensuring we deliver the tools you and fellow stakeholders require. What's the dream?!
We understand you're busy and eager to start your project, we'll coordinate the site visit at a time that works for you.
We are usually in and out within just a few hours, accustomed to working around any obstacles, pets or just daily life - we realize this is your home.
This is where the heavy lifting occurs, a Project Coordinator and team transforms the data collected to a 2D (CAD) or 3D (Revit) Model and corresponding Documentation (PDF) is generated.
Upon completion, our Quality Control team employs a range of tools, including AI, to thoroughly review our final deliverables before sending them to your inbox.

Still measuring properties by hand or depending on outdated surveys? Power your next Landscape Site Plan with LiDAR Technology and Photogrammetry to gather existing conditions quickly and accurately, giving your team the tools to successfully execute. Check this video out!
A Landscape Site Plan details the existing conditions of a property. We offer basic site plans that include only the property boundary and building footprint, or you can customize your deliverables to include specific details. For more information, visit the Landscape Site Plan Service page on our website.
No, our Landscape Site Plan is designed to communicate existing conditions to Landscape Architects and Urban Planners. This is not similar or equivalent to a Topographic or Civil Survey.
Simply put, as-builts document the existing conditions of anything visible. In the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, as-builts are a set of computer-aided drawings and documentation that capture the current conditions of a site, building, or construction phase.
As-builts serve as a foundational element in the development process, providing a "blank slate" for architects, designers, and other stakeholders. They facilitate communication, provide a basis on which construction documentation is generated, and ensure compliance with local authorities' mandates before beginning construction or alterations.
As-builts are usually requested by project stakeholders such as architects, designers, engineers, contractors, builders, real estate agents, consultants, and owners during renovations or alterations. While all stakeholders utilize as-builts during different phases of development, architects are often the ones who initiate this conversation with the property owner.
Architects, designers, engineers, owners, and other stakeholders typically need as-builts in two main scenarios: 1) when planning interventions on existing structures (alterations, remodeling, adaptive reuse, tenant improvements) and 2) to meet compliance mandates that require architectural documentation, such as floor plans.
Local authorities typically require comprehensive information about existing conditions. Metropolitan areas often have more stringent requirements compared to rural areas, though these can vary geographically. If historical as-built documentation is absent or outdated, local authorities are likely to request updated as-builts to accurately assess modification, alteration, or demolition requests. Without current drawings, securing permits can be difficult or even impossible.
There are five steps to the Scan to BIM process: Exploration, Scheduling, Measuring, Documentation & Assurance. These steps and their details can be further explored in the Services section of this website or on our YouTube Channel.
