We start by defining exactly what you need before anything else is scheduled. Building area, floor count, deliverable format, Level of Detail, MEP systems, ceiling documentation, and any custom office standards — all confirmed upfront. A fixed-price proposal and full project schedule are returned within one business day. No open-ended estimates. No scope creep. No change orders.
Start your project with reliable, scan-accurate documentation you can trust.

Most documentation failures happen before the scanner is ever turned on — vague scope, wrong deliverable format, missed systems. Our process is engineered to eliminate every failure point, from the first phone call to your final file.
THE COMPLETE WORKFLOW
What Happens At Every Step
With local field crews in all 7 Southwest markets, we coordinate site access directly with your GC, building manager, or client contact. We handle occupied buildings, after-hours access, phased multi-floor projects, and multi-site campuses. You don't manage logistics — we do. Local crews in LV, PHX, LA, SF, DEN, SLC & AUS.
Our field crews deploy professional-grade LiDAR scanners throughout your building, capturing millions of spatial data points per second to document existing building conditions from multiple positions. Most commercial spaces are fully documented in a single day using targetless registration workflows for speed and accuracy. Millimeter-accurate capture — not tape measures or manual field notes.
Raw scan data is consolidated into a verified, registered point cloud dataset before drafting begins. Your drawings and models are produced directly from that controlled dataset — walls, openings, structural elements, ceiling systems, and MEP components — to your specified Level of Detail and office standards. Your deliverables trace from verified data, not field sketches or interpretation.
Before any file leaves our office, a second team member independently checks every drawing and model against the source point cloud — verifying dimensions, layer naming, scope completeness, and format compliance. Final files are delivered to a shared project folder, archived for 6 months, with our team available for revisions and follow-on phases. Two-person QA. ±⅛″ verified dimensional tolerance. 6-month archive.
Why As-Built Surveys Fail (And How Our Process Prevents It)
Most documentation failures occur before the scanner is even turned on. Poor scope definition, incomplete field coverage, and weak QA processes can lead to drawings that look complete but contain costly inaccuracies.
Our workflow is designed to eliminate the most common failure points in building documentation.
Unclear Project Scope
Many survey firms begin scanning before defining deliverable requirements. Missing systems, incomplete ceiling documentation, or incorrect modeling standards can result in costly revisions later.
Our process: Scope is fully defined during Step 01, including Level of Detail, MEP systems, ceiling documentation, and file formats.
Incomplete Field Coverage
If scanning positions are poorly planned, portions of the building may be under-documented or missing entirely.
Our process: Field crews plan scan coverage to ensure complete spatial capture before leaving the site.
Misaligned Point Clouds
Improper alignment of scan positions can create dimensional errors that propagate into drawings and models.
Our process: All datasets are verified during processing before drafting begins.
Single-Person QA
Many firms rely on the same person who drafted the drawings to check their own work.
Our process: Every project undergoes an independent QA review by a second team member.
Result
The result is documentation you can actually rely on for renovation, planning, and construction decisions.
As-Built Survey Process: FAQ
LOCAL FIELD CREWS — 7 SOUTHWEST MARKETS Las Vegas | Phoenix | Los Angeles | San Francisco | Denver | Salt Lake City | Austin |
A: A field crew deploys LiDAR scanners at positions throughout your building, capturing millions of data points per second. The process is non-invasive -- no drilling, no contact with surfaces. Raw data transfers to our processing team the same day.
A: We deliver to a plus-or-minus 1/2-inch tolerance. Raw LiDAR point clouds are millimeter-accurate. All deliverables are independently QA reviewed before leaving our office.
A: Yes. We scan occupied retail stores, hotels, offices, and restaurants regularly. We coordinate with your building contact and can work after-hours or in phases to minimize disruption.
A: AutoCAD DWG, Revit RVT, PDF plans, SketchUp SKP, and raw point cloud files (RCP/E57) -- all included at no extra charge.
A: Our local crews are in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Salt Lake City, and Austin. For projects outside these markets, we provide nationwide coverage through our established partner network.
