Knowledge Base

Existing Conditions has many construction-grade 3D laser scanners in our inventory of equipment. The scanners are "Class 1,” which means they are no more powerful than a supermarket checkout laser’s scanner. These lasers pose no harm to people or buildings. The scanner hardware itself is portable and quiet. It can be used around people so there will not be any need to limit your on-site operations.

‍

Can Existing Conditions Scan Occupied Buildings?

Yes, it is both safe and entirely possible to scan occupied buildings. 3D laser scanning is a safe process used in the building industry for about 20 years. We also use small, professional, uniformed crews who are discrete and do not disturb tenants or clients.
