Like March Madness, facility management requires precision, see how 3D laser scanning keeps you ahead by avoiding costly mistakes and streamlining operations.

The Kit of Parts approach enhances speed, cost savings, and sustainability in construction. Learn how 3D scanning and prefabrication improve efficiency.

Discover how 3D laser scanning is revolutionizing sustainable building practices. Learn how this technology supports adaptive reuse, material conservation, and energy efficiency, featuring a case study on The Little Building in Boston.

On January 31, 2025, over 50 architects and engineers attended an AIANYC panel where experts discussed the role of reality capture and BIM modeling in restoring the Woolworth Building’s Pinnacle Penthouse.

Using accurate site data from 3D laser scanning makes it simple to incorporate value engineering principles into the design process. This technology allows engineers, architects, and designers to enhance functionality, lower costs, and increase overall value in their designs.

The workflow for delivering accurate and reliable existing conditions data involves a meticulous process. From on-site 3D laser scanning to the final project delivery, a coordinated team effort ensures every step aligns with our client’s needs and expectations.

At the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant in Cuyahoga Heights, Ohio, a critical update was needed for one of its heat exchangers. The facility houses an intricate network of mechanical and piping systems, making accurate planning and execution crucial. 3D laser scanning captured accurate existing conditions of the plant to render an LOD 300 3D BIM model of the three-level heat exchanger, enabling ABC Piping Co. to proceed with the system update.

In 2024, Existing Conditions delivered unparalleled client support through advanced 3D laser scanning, BIM services, and a new partnership with GPRS. Learn how our top projects and team milestones helped clients streamline their processes, overcome challenges, and succeed in the built environment.

Existing Conditions 3D laser scanning services will play an important role in the preservation of The House of the Seven Gables, by delivering as-built data, 2D CAD drawings, and 3D BIM models for design planning and decision making.

Existing Conditions offers robust solutions, delivering 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) models in phases to enable clients to focus on specific project segments and ensure exceptional design quality before moving to subsequent phases. This phased approach minimizes errors and maximizes efficiency across complex projects.
