Mapping & 3D Scanning

Scan. Model. Build better.

Existing conditions captured to the millimeter. Our FAA Part 107 certified pilots and scanner operators deliver aerial and terrestrial data that drops straight into design — so what we engineer fits the first time.

3D laser scanning

Millions of points. One source of truth.

Using ground-based laser scanners, we capture millions of precise data points to create 3D point clouds of existing conditions — accurate to ±7 mm at 10 m range, scanner-dependent.

Applications

  • As-built verification
  • Pre-fabrication planning
  • Structural tie-in documentation
  • Facility layout & MEP coordination

Deliverables

  • Registered point clouds
  • Floor plans, elevations & sections
  • 3D Tekla models
  • QA-checked PDF reports with deviation checks against construction drawings

Drone & aerial mapping

The whole site, from above

Using drone-based photogrammetry, we produce accurate site maps, orthomosaics and terrain models — safer, faster and more comprehensively than traditional methods.

Applications

  • Pre-construction planning
  • Topographic studies
  • Earthwork calculations & site balancing
  • Progress tracking for stakeholders
  • Permitting documentation

Deliverables

  • High-resolution orthomosaic imagery
  • Topographic contours
  • 3D model / mesh
  • Overlays for Google Earth

Photogrammetry-derived mesh accuracy varies with altitude, surface geometry and ground control setup. Not LiDAR-based.

From the field to the model

Captured on site, processed in-house

Our own crews run the total station and scanner, then register and model the data at our office — no hand-off, no waiting on a third party.

What you get

Data your design team can trust

Certified FAA Part 107 pilots

Every flight is planned and flown by a licensed remote pilot, with airspace authorizations handled for you.

Ground control point calibration

Surveyed control points tie the capture to real-world coordinates for survey-grade accuracy.

Scans accurate to ±7 mm

±7 mm at 10 m range, ±10–15 mm over larger areas; drone mapping ±1–3 cm horizontal. We publish accuracy with every deliverable.

CAD-ready file formats

RCS, E57, LAS, DWG, DXF, NWD, Tekla and more — tailored to your project and your software.

Works in your environment

Deliverables integrate with your existing Tekla, Revit or AutoCAD workflows — and with ours, if we are doing the design.

48-hour turnaround

Processed data back to you within 48 hours on standard packages, depending on project complexity.

Fixed-price packages

Precision, transparency and speed

Every package includes setup and breakdown, travel within a 25-mile radius of our office, and delivery of processed data. Each can be tailored to your scope.
