Why It Matters

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.

Customers

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.

David Tanner
Project Manager

“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.”

Patricia Huang
Operations Manager

“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

When should we use 3D laser scanning?

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.

What do we actually receive after a scan?

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.

How long does a typical scanning project take?

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.

How accurate is 3D laser scanning?

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.

Can scanning be done in active, operating facilities?

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.

How does pricing for 3D scanning work?

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.
