Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What is 3D LiDAR scanning, and how does it work?
3D LiDAR scanning uses laser technology to capture millions of data points, creating an accurate digital model of a space. This allows us to generate interactive virtual tours, precise floor plans, as-built drawings, and detailed documentation for various industries.
What industries can benefit from 3D LiDAR scanning?
We provide scanning services for real estate and property management, construction documentation, architecture and engineering, historic preservation, film and TV production, business tours, and asset management.
How long does a 3D LiDAR scan take?
The scanning time varies depending on the size and complexity of the space, but most properties can be scanned within a few hours.
What deliverables do you provide?
We offer interactive virtual tours, 2D and 3D floor plans, CAD-ready files, Scan to BIM, high-resolution images, and video documentation, all tailored to your project’s needs.
How accurate is your scanning technology?
Our LiDAR technology captures dimensions with precision up to a quarter inch, ensuring the highest level of accuracy for architectural and construction documentation.
Do you offer professional photography and videography services?
Yes! In addition to 3D LiDAR scanning, we provide high-resolution professional photography and video to enhance your property listings, virtual tours, and marketing materials.
Real Estate & Property Management
How can 3D virtual tours help with selling or renting a property?
Virtual tours allow potential buyers or tenants to explore properties remotely, reducing unnecessary showings and increasing engagement. Listings with 3D tours receive up to 87% more views compared to those without.
Can your scans include outdoor areas?
Yes! We can capture both interior and exterior spaces, including patios, gardens, pools, and parking areas.
Can I customize my virtual tour with branding and contact details?
Absolutely. Our virtual tours can feature your logo, company branding, and contact information, making it easy for potential clients to reach you.
Do you provide floor plans along with virtual tours?
Yes! Our service includes 2D and 3D floor plans that complement your virtual tour, providing an accurate layout of the property.
Construction Documentation & As-Built Drawings
What is the difference between existing conditions floor plans and as-built drawings?
Existing conditions floor plans capture the current state of a structure before any renovations or modifications, while as-built drawings document the final version of a building after construction or changes have been completed.
Why are as-built drawings important for construction projects?
As-built drawings provide an accurate record of modifications, ensuring that future renovations, inspections, and maintenance efforts are based on precise documentation.
How do LiDAR scans improve accuracy in construction documentation?
LiDAR technology eliminates human error by capturing detailed measurements up to a quarter-inch precision, reducing costly mistakes and rework.
Can you provide CAD files for architects and engineers?
Yes! We deliver CAD-ready files compatible with industry-standard software for seamless integration into your design and planning workflow.
Business Tours & Asset Management
How can a virtual tour benefit my business?
A virtual tour allows customers and clients to explore your business remotely, showcasing your space in an engaging and interactive way. It’s perfect for restaurants, retail stores, hotels, and corporate offices looking to enhance their online presence.
Can I embed the virtual tour on my website?
Yes! We provide a shareable link or an embed code so you can integrate your virtual tour seamlessly into your website or social media platforms.
Can 3D scans be used for facility management?
Definitely! Our scans provide detailed spatial documentation for asset tracking, maintenance planning, and space optimization.
Film & TV Production
How can 3D LiDAR scanning be used on film sets?
LiDAR scanning provides precise digital replicas of film sets, allowing production teams to plan scenes, lighting, and set designs remotely. This reduces setup time and enhances continuity between shoots.
Can LiDAR scanning be used for location scouting?
Yes! Our virtual tours allow filmmakers to explore potential filming locations without physically visiting the site, saving time and travel costs.
Do you offer high-resolution photography and videography for film sets?
Yes! Our team can provide professional imagery and video to document sets, props, and locations for reference and marketing purposes.
Historic Preservation
How does 3D LiDAR scanning help with historic preservation?
Our technology captures detailed 3D models of historic buildings and landmarks, preserving their architectural integrity for restoration, research, and educational purposes.
Can your scans help with restoration projects?
Yes! Accurate digital models allow conservation teams to analyze structures, identify deterioration, and plan restorations without invasive methods.
Do you provide documentation for regulatory approvals?
We provide comprehensive scans and reports that meet the documentation requirements for historic preservation and restoration projects.
