3D SCANNING

It can take hours or even days to document an existing structure. 3D scanners allow you to reduce as-built documentation time and fee, while potentially producing greater detail and model accuracy.

3D scanning can also be used during the construction process for comprehensive documentation.

If you are ready to schedule your scan, click on the ‘REQUEST SCANNING SERVICES’ on the top of this page. Once you approve the proposal your scan will be scheduled.

If you want more information about this technology or would like a demo, please contact us directly at digitaltwins@drafting.house

POINT CLOUD

The scanning fee is based on project location, size and complexity. Complete the Schedule Scan Request Form to receive an estimate for your project.

BIM OR CAD FILE (OPTIONAL)

BIM & CAD files are an additional deliverable you can purchase from Drafting House. The BIM model will comply with LOD 200 architecture specifications. This includes the building’s basic elements, such as walls, floors, windows, doors, stairs, plumbing fixtures, appliances and cabinetry (view our example project for more information). You will receive the model in the form of a RVT file, compatible with Revit 2025 and newer. If you need an older version of Revit, please let us know when scheduling your scan. AutoCAD files will be created from the Revit file and will include schematic floor plans and exterior elevations. If you need a higher level of development, contact Drafting House directly.

BINARY POINT CLOUDS

E57, PTS, LGSx & RCS

BIM & CAD

RVT or DWG

ACCESS YOUR POINT CLOUD FOR 1 YEAR IN HxDR

What is the 3D point accuracy?

4 mm @ 10 m at 78% albedo

How long does it take to receive the point cloud?

This depends on the size of the project. Typically we will provide the point cloud in 2-business days and if you request a BIM or CAD file this will be delivered in 5 business days. If you need the deliverables by a specific date, please indicate this when you complete the service request form.

How should I prepare the site?

Clean and organize site, hide personal items, keep pets contained.
