Capture TechnologySheet A-150

How a scan becomes your drawing set

We don't measure a building corner to corner with a tape and hope. LiDAR 3D scanning captures the entire space as measured data — then experienced drafters turn that data into sheets, delivered in any format your office works in: AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, ArchiCAD, PDF, and registered point clouds.

LIDAR SCAN POINT CLOUD DRAFTED SHEET DWG RVT PDF E57 SKP RH/PLN YOUR FORMAT
CAPTURE

Scan the space

LiDAR scanning sweeps the property and captures millions of measured points — every wall, opening, fixture, and ceiling height — in a single site visit. Faster than tape, and nothing gets missed.

REGISTER

Build the point cloud

Individual scans are aligned into one registered point cloud: a dimensionally accurate digital copy of the building we can measure from long after we've left the site.

DRAFT

Draw from data

Our drafters trace real geometry from the scan — not assumptions — and cross-check every dimension against field photos and notes before QC sign-off. Registered point clouds (.e57) are available as a deliverable on request.

ProcessSheet A-200

From site to sheet

A tight, predictable workflow — because your schedule is built around ours.

STEP 01

Fixed Quote in 24 Hours

Send the address, approximate square footage, and the deliverables you need — you get a flat fee in writing, not an estimate that grows.

STEP 02

One Quick Site Visit

Typically 2–4 hours of 3D laser capture and photo documentation, scheduled around your client's occupants and operations.

STEP 03

Drafting & Field-Informed QA

Scan data becomes clean CAD, checked by 33 years of knowledge of how NYC buildings are actually put together — not just how the scanner saw them.

STEP 04

On-Time Delivery

Standard apartments and retail spaces in 5–7 business days; larger scopes get a committed date at quote. Files arrive ready for your title block.

PortfolioSheet A-300

The work speaks in linework

Full permit sets, as-built 3D models, and renderings produced by our documentation lead across 33 years of practice — residential, commercial, and hospitality work. Every set you see here was drafted by the same hands that will check yours. Click any sheet to read it up close.

Why ThoroAsBuiltSheet A-400

Thorough is in the name

Plenty of firms can scan a room. Fewer can turn that data into a drawing set an architect actually wants to inherit.

Trust it without re-measuring

Every set is produced and reviewed by a documentation lead with 33 years in architecture. You get drawings made by someone who knows what your drafters need — not raw scanner output.

No project too small

Single apartments and single storefronts get the same priority as full buildings — the jobs other scanning firms make you wait weeks for are our bread and butter.

Built for real NYC buildings

Pre-war quirks, out-of-plumb walls, settled floors — we document what's actually there, which is the entire reason you're hiring an as-built in the first place.

Your deadline is the deliverable

24-hour quotes, committed delivery dates, and one point of contact from scan to final file. No hourly meters, no scope creep, no chasing.

FAQSheet A-500

Questions, answered

It's an accurate record of a building as it exists today — actual wall locations, dimensions, openings, and heights — rather than what old filed plans say. Architects and contractors use these drawings as the verified starting point for renovations, filings, leasing, and permits.

Any format your office works in: AutoCAD (.dwg), Revit (.rvt), SketchUp, Rhino, ArchiCAD, PDF, and registered point clouds (.e57) — if your team can open it, we can deliver it. We draw to your layer standards and title block if you have them.

Quotes go out within 24 hours. Standard apartments and retail spaces are delivered in 5–7 business days; larger scopes get a committed date with the quote — and we hit it.

Flat project pricing based on square footage, scope, and deliverables — quoted up front in writing within 24 hours. See the pricing schedule above for typical ranges; no hourly billing, no surprises at invoice.

All five boroughs — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island — plus Long Island, from Nassau through Suffolk. We're fully insured. For projects beyond that, reach out — we travel for the right scope.

Yes — most of our site visits happen in occupied apartments, active offices, and live job sites. We schedule around tenants and trades, capture what we need in one visit, and stay out of the way.

Interactive 3D tours embed directly on Zillow, LoopNet, and your website. Buyers explore the full property before scheduling a showing — meaning more qualified prospects, fewer "drive-bys," and faster closes. Most agents report 40%+ more showings when a tour is available.

We typically deliver within 24–48 hours of the on-site capture. For agents with multiple listings, we prioritize fast turnaround — get the tour live while the property is hot.

Yes. Twilight/evening captures show lighting and curb appeal at their best. We can include exterior courtyard, building facade, and unit entrance tours. Pricing adjusts based on scope — ask when you request a quote.

Yes. The same 3D tour service works perfectly for move-in and move-out documentation. You get a professional 3D record of unit condition with timestamps, which protects both you and tenants from disputes. It also speeds up turnover — prospective tenants and new occupants see the exact condition of the unit before move-in.
