What is 3D Laser Scanning?

3D laser scanning is a leading-edge technology that accurately measures surfaces and builds detailed, three-dimensional digital representations of environments. Using non-contact laser beams, this approach rapidly collects high-accuracy spatial data that’s essential for industrial design, documentation, renovation, and construction workflows.

Why Choose Us?

Are you leasing or valuing your industrial facility based on outdated measurements?

Monetize the Yard: We certify “At-Grade Unenclosed Areas” (like storage yards and loading docks) as recognized rentable space.
Verify Volume: Our scans locate the lowest point of every truss to guarantee accurate clear heights—key for automated racking.
Audit-Proof Data: Receive defensible survey data that stands up to tenant lease audits and investor due diligence.

Regulatory compliance and safety assessments

Whether you’re conducting condition assessments or planning full-scale industrial upgrades, our CAD outputs ensure every architectural, mechanical, and electrical component is documented accurately and ready for action.

Components of As-Built Documentation

As-built documentation provides a comprehensive record of a facility as it was constructed, capturing all additions, adjustments, and modifications. Core elements include:

2D CAD Drawings or 3D BIM Models: Visual and technical representations of structures
Detailed Technical Plans: Deep insight into construction specifics
Accurate Dimensions and Surveyed Coordinates: Precision-verified spatial dataPrecision-verified spatial data
Record of Changes: A complete log of all modifications made during construction

This level of documentation is indispensable for future maintenance, renovations, and compliance with original design intent.

The problem when doing 3D scanning

We all know that 3D laser scanning technology is expensive and there is a good reason for that, they work! What is more important is weather it is important to invest in an in-house team or to hire a 3D laser scanning service provider? It may not be as straightforward as we would like but we’re here to help!

First, ask yourself what is the problem you are trying to solve? Is the first single project or is it for every project. Second, ask yourself does it justify the high initial cost of investment and time? Those two questions are posed to our team every single time, and this is why we’re here to provide.
