Why Homeowners & Contractors Choose Us
Client Testimonials
"We were planning a major renovation of our 1970s home and needed accurate as-builts since the original plans were lost. The LiDAR scanning team came in, captured everything in about 3 hours without disrupting our lives, and delivered perfect CAD drawings 2 days later. Our architect said these were the most accurate as-builts he'd ever worked with."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sarah M. - Paradise Valley Homeowner
"I've used traditional measuring services for years, and the difference is night and day. The LiDAR accuracy eliminates field conflicts during construction. We've used them on 15+ custom home addition projects in Silverleaf and DC Ranch. Worth every penny."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mike R. - Scottsdale Custom Home Builder
"Needed as-built drawings for our kitchen remodel. The team was professional, fast, and the drawings were incredibly detailed. Our designer was able to create perfect cabinetry layouts because the measurements were so precise. Highly recommend!"

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are your residential as-built drawings?
Our LiDAR scanning technology provides ±1/8 inch (3mm) accuracy throughout your entire home. This is significantly more precise than traditional tape-measure methods, which typically have ±1-2 inch variance.
Will scanning damage my home or require furniture to be moved?
No. Our LiDAR technology is completely non-invasive. Lasers are harmless to people, pets, plants, and finishes. We can scan around furniture in place—no moving required (though we can capture behind furniture if moved).
How long does the scanning take?
Most Scottsdale single-family homes (2,000-4,000 sq ft) take 2-4 hours to scan completely. Larger estates may take 4-6 hours. We schedule at your convenience to minimize disruption.
Do you provide drawings for permit applications?
Yes. Our as-built CAD drawings are suitable for Scottsdale building permit applications. We can work directly with your architect to ensure all required information is included for submittal to the City of Scottsdale Development Services.
Can you scan just my outdoor living space or pool area?
Absolutely. We offer partial property scanning for specific areas like pools, outdoor kitchens, ramadas, or landscape features. Contact us for targeted pricing.
What if my home has multiple levels or complex roof lines?
No problem. Our LiDAR equipment captures multi-story structures, complex roof geometries, and vaulted ceilings with ease. This is actually where LiDAR technology significantly outperforms traditional methods.

Why Accurate As-Built Drawings Are Essential for Scottsdale Homes
From downtown high-rises to neighborhood retail, our commercial as-built services give developers, property managers, and contractors the measured drawings, CAD/BIM files, and site information needed to advance construction and leasing decisions. We capture accurate floor plans, elevations, MEP information, and point clouds to support tenant improvements, seismic retrofits, and construction coordination.
Avoid Costly Construction Surprises
Arizona’s unique construction methods—especially in older Scottsdale homes—often hide surprises:
- Concrete block vs. wood framing
- Post-tension slab foundations
- Non-standard ceiling heights
- Hidden mechanical chases
- Undocumented structural modifications
Accurate as-built drawings identify these conditions BEFORE construction begins, preventing expensive change orders and project delays.
Maximize Your Investment
Scottsdale luxury homes represent significant financial investments. Professional as-built documentation:
- Increases resale value through accurate property records
- Reduces renovation costs by eliminating guesswork
- Accelerates permit approval with precise drawings
- Protects property boundaries and easements
- Documents high-end features for insurance purposes
Support Scottsdale's Architectural Heritage
From mid-century modern treasures in Arcadia to Spanish Colonial estates in Old Town, Scottsdale’s architectural diversity deserves preservation. Our LiDAR documentation helps:
- Maintain historical accuracy during renovations
- Preserve architectural details for future generations
- Support historic preservation applications
- Document heritage properties for archival records
Understanding LiDAR Technology for Residential Applications
How LiDAR Works
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sends millions of laser pulses per second to measure distances with extreme precision:
- Laser Emission: Scanner emits rapid laser pulses
- Surface Contact: Lasers hit architectural surfaces
- Return Time Measurement: System calculates distance based on return time
- Point Cloud Creation: Millions of measurements create 3D “point cloud”
- CAD Conversion: Point cloud converted to accurate CAD drawings
Benefits Over Traditional Measuring
LiDAR Scanning:
- ±1/8 inch accuracy
- Complete property capture in 2-4 hours
- Non-invasive (no wall contact needed)
- Captures inaccessible areas (high ceilings, roofs)
- Creates permanent 3D record
- Eliminates human measurement error
Traditional Methods:
- ±1-2 inch accuracy (at best)
- 1-2 days for complete measurement
- Requires physical wall contact
- Cannot reach high/dangerous areas
- No 3D reference for future use
- Subject to measurement errors
