3D Laser Scanning & As-Built Services in Miami
Fast, reliable reality capture and as-built documentation for commercial properties, coastal high-rises, and industrial facilities across South Florida. We deliver the precise spatial data you need to eliminate rework and build with confidence.
As-Built Documentation: Accurate 2D CAD drawings and 3D models for renovations and 40-year recertifications.
Scan-to-BIM Integration: Intelligent Revit models for VDC coordination and clash detection in complex projects.
Construction & Industrial Verification: Precise measurements for quality control, progress tracking, and equipment layout.
Stop Guessing. Build with Accurate As-Built Documentation
Building and renovating in South Florida is complicated enough without relying on outdated, inaccurate 2D blueprints. Whether you are updating a commercial high-rise in Brickell, coordinating MEP systems in a Palm Beach warehouse, or preparing for a 40-year building recertification, working with bad spatial data leads to massive delays and expensive rework.
iScano provides Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) teams, architects, and General Contractors across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties with the exact spatial truth of their sites. We use advanced 3D laser scanners to map your building and turn that data into highly accurate as-built CAD drawings and Scan-to-BIM models.

3D Laser Scanning Deliverables & As-Built Services
We deliver the actionable information you need, in the format you want. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we provide a range of deliverables tailored to your specific project requirements.
2D As-Built Floor Plans & CAD Drafting
We take the 3D scan data and create perfectly accurate 2D CAD drawings of your floor plans, elevations, and sections. This is best for architects, designers, and GCs who need reliable as-built documentation to replace outdated blueprints for renovations and space planning.
3D Scan-to-CAD Models
For when you need more than 2D, we create lightweight 3D CAD models that let you visualize the entire structure and its components. This is ideal for engineers and fabricators who need to check clearances, plan equipment layouts, and visualize connections without the full complexity of BIM.
3D Scan-to-BIM Services
We translate your site’s data into an intelligent, data-rich 3D Revit model, allowing for advanced clash detection and asset management. This is built for VDC teams and project managers coordinating complex retrofits, managing large facilities, and requiring a central source of truth.
Raw Point Cloud Data
You get the complete, high-density digital snapshot of your site as a raw point cloud data file (.rcp or .e57). This is perfect for expert teams with in-house VDC departments who want to drive their own modeling and analysis from our verified scan data.
Our Work Speaks for Itself: Proven Projects Across South Florida
We’re not just another scanning company; we are a dedicated partner with a proven track record of success on complex projects right here in Miami.
High-End Commercial & Hospitality
We’ve delivered as-built documentation for some of Miami’s most iconic and demanding environments. Our work includes providing Scan-to-BIM services for the E11EVEN Miami ultraclub in Downtown and creating precise showroom models for the luxury cabinetry experts at Italkraft in Doral. These projects require meticulous MEP documentation and coordination, which our 3D models provide.
Critical Infrastructure & Industrial Facilities
Our team has the expertise to handle large-scale industrial sites. We’ve performed comprehensive scanning for the Doral Water Treatment Plant to verify pipe routing and equipment layouts, and we’ve documented a mission-critical data center to ensure accurate MEP and cable tray as-builts. These projects demand precision to prevent costly downtime.
Architectural, Marine & Heritage Preservation
From historic buildings to luxury vessels, we capture the unique details that matter. We’ve partnered with the City of Miami on a local heritage preservation project, provided as-built documentation for renovations in South Beach, and performed a full 3D scan of a mega-yacht at the Watson Island marina for a complex refit.
Why Choose iScano for your Miami Project
Proven Local Experience
We aren’t a generic national call center. As you can see from our work with E11EVEN, the City of Miami, and the Doral water treatment plant, we have a deep, proven understanding of the specific demands of the South Florida market.
Transparent Pricing & Clear Deliverables:
Many scanning companies hide their pricing behind aggressive sales calls. We provide detailed scope reviews, clear deliverables (from simple CADs to complex BIM models ), and transparent pricing based on the exact size and complexity of your project.
Ready for Any Software:
You shouldn’t have to change your workflow to use our data. We deliver as-built documentation and 3D models in the exact formats your architects and engineers already use, including AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, and vendor-neutral point cloud files.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 3D scanning and as-built services?
3D laser scanning is the method we use to capture the measurements of your building. As-built services refer to the final product we deliver to you—such as an updated CAD floor plan or a 3D Revit model that shows the building exactly as it exists today.
How much do as-built CADs and 3D scanning cost in Miami?
Cost is driven by the size of the property and the level of detail you need in the final drawings. A standard commercial space needing basic 2D CAD floor plans will cost significantly less per square foot than a highly congested mechanical room requiring a detailed 3D Revit model. Contact us for a fast, straightforward quote.
How long does it take to get my as-built documentation?
Scanning a standard commercial building in Miami usually only takes 1 to 2 days on-site. The drafting phase for your CAD drawings or BIM models typically takes 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project.
