The Renaissance Hotel in Downtown Phoenix stands as a vibrant hub in the city’s core, known for its modern design, high guest traffic, and role as a prime destination for both business and leisure travelers. With ongoing expansion projects, the hotel faced a complex challenge: capturing highly accurate above-ceiling conditions of its mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) equipment. Traditional documentation methods couldn’t keep pace with the precision required for seamless integration—until LiDAR Precise Plans stepped in.

Challenges of Traditional Methods

Before utilizing advanced 3D laser scanning, expansion teams relied on outdated drawings and field notes that often overlooked the hidden complexity of above-ceiling MEP systems. In environments where precision is critical, these gaps created significant risks—ranging from design conflicts to costly construction delays.

Advanced 3D Scanning Services for Hospitality Projects

To overcome these obstacles, we performed comprehensive 3D laser scanning of two levels of the Renaissance Hotel, focusing on above-ceiling MEP equipment. Using our state-of-the-art LiDAR technology, we produced a precise digital twin of the existing conditions. This model captured:

• All major mechanical, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure.
• Detailed above-ceiling layouts that are typically hidden from view.
• Accurate spatial data that integrates seamlessly into BIM modeling and design software.

Benefits for the Renaissance Expansion Team

Our 3D scanning services provided immediate and measurable advantages:

• Unmatched Accuracy: Every duct, conduit, and piece of equipment was documented with millimeter precision.
• Streamlined Coordination: The accurate digital model eliminated guesswork, reducing RFIs and design conflicts.
• Time & Cost Savings: By replacing repeated field visits with one high-resolution dataset, the project team accelerated schedules and reduced rework.
• Future-Proof Documentation: The captured data serves as a long-term resource for facility management, renovations, and maintenance.

Why Choose LiDAR Precise Plans?

Our scanning services bring efficiency, reliability, and innovation to hotel renovation and expansion projects. By focusing on critical systems like above-ceiling MEP, we empower design and construction teams to:

• Plan with confidence based on accurate as-built conditions.
• Reduce risk by identifying conflicts early.
• Deliver projects that meet both design intent and operational needs.
