3D laser scanning and as-built modeling
Capture existing conditions with field-verified accuracy. Convert reality into usable digital data for planning, design, and execution.
No drawings. No problem.
Trusted across AEC, Power, Utility, Manufacturing, and more
We capture existing conditions as they actually exist
AsBuilt 3D provides professional 3D laser scanning and as-built modeling to create accurate digital representations of the built environment. Our work gives project teams reliable point cloud data and CAD or BIM models they can confidently use for planning, design, and construction.
Proven execution at scale
Our work reflects sustained execution across large, complex facilities—supporting engineering, construction, and operations with reliable as-built data over time.
3D models created

Across power, manufacturing, chemical, and utility environments
Client project engagements
Requiring consistent accuracy, repeatability, and data quality
Of scan data actively managed
Securely hosted and maintained for long-term client access and reuse
Full-time U.S.-based professionals
Dedicated to field capture, processing, QA, and delivery across active sites
Of combined professional engineering experience
Supporting design, construction, and operational decisions
Accurate existing-condition data underpins every project decision
When teams start with a reliable understanding of what’s already built, planning, coordination, and execution become more predictable and easier to execute.
Planning and design coordination
Accurate 3D representations of existing conditions support layout validation, spatial coordination, and informed design decisions before work begins.
Construction execution and retrofit work
Field-verified data helps teams confirm fit, identify conflicts early, and execute installations with greater confidence in active environments.
Compliance and asset documentation
Consistent, up-to-date as-built records support long-term facility management, regulatory documentation, and future modifications.
Who we work with
Accurate existing-condition data supports different decisions at different stages. We work with the teams responsible for planning, execution, and long-term operation of complex facilities.

What our clients say
Teams rely on AsBuilt 3D for accurate existing-condition data that supports planning, execution, and long-term facility decisions.
"From start to finish, the AsBuilt 3D team was exceptional. They arrived prepared, navigated a challenging industrial environment, and delivered data that exceeded our expectations. The accuracy of the scan proved invaluable throughout both the planning and execution phases of our project.
“We’re retrofitting large manufacturing equipment originally installed in the 1950s, with little to no existing documentation. Laser scanning with AsBuilt 3D was a clear choice. They’ve become a trusted partner as we integrate accurate as-built data into our retrofit workflows.”
“It would be impossible to complete the complex retrofit projects we have been assigned over the last two years without an accurate as-built. Simulating the heavy rigging with a laser scanned as-built provided a safer work environment and allowed us to stay on schedule.”

FAQs
Quick answers to common questions about scanning, deliverables, and process
3D laser scanning is most valuable before retrofit, expansion, or design work—anytime existing conditions need to be verified. Capturing accurate data early helps teams avoid surprises, reduce rework, and make informed decisions before construction begins.
Deliverables typically include registered point cloud data and, if required, as-built CAD or BIM models. All outputs are field-verified and tailored to your project needs, whether for planning, design coordination, or documentation.
Field capture usually takes one to three days, depending on facility size and complexity. Processing and modeling follow, with final deliverables commonly ready within two to four weeks.
Laser scanning captures existing conditions with millimeter-level accuracy. Final tolerances depend on project scope, site conditions, and required deliverables, all of which are defined and confirmed during project scoping.
Yes. Most scanning is performed in live, operating environments. Our teams are experienced working around ongoing operations and coordinate closely to minimize disruption while capturing accurate data.
Pricing is based on factors such as facility size, complexity, access conditions, and required deliverables. After understanding your scope, we provide a clear, project-specific quote—no generic pricing or guesswork.
