What is Reality Capture?
Reality capture produces a highly accurate 3D BIM model by scanning existing conditions using long-range terrestrial laser scanners. Leveraging LiDAR-based 3D laser scanning or photogrammetry, it records millions of data points to construct a high-resolution, geometrically precise digital twin. This dataset integrates with design, visualization, and analysis platforms to support informed planning, construction, and asset management.

What is LiDAR?
LiDAR, or Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses a pulsed laser to measure distances to a target. 3D laser scanners contain a LiDAR sensor that sends out beams of laser light in all directions and records how long it takes for them to return to the sensor.

What Is 3D Laser Scanning?
3D laser scanning is a way of capturing and creating a digital footprint of a physical structure. In less than two minutes, our small and lightweight laser scanning equipment collects up to 2 million points per second, gathering real-time measurements and information from a site.

Case Studies
Woolworth Building Pinnacle Penthouse
Existing Conditions was selected to provide 3D laser scanning and construction drone services for the iconic Pinnacle Penthouse at the Woolworth Building, as the purchaser intends to restore portions of the exterior to more closely reflect the original 1913 Cas Gilbert design and finish the interior living space. With the help of Existing Conditions, this blank canvas of architectural history will be transformed into a masterpiece.

Williams College
Our work with Williams College is one of Existing Conditions' largest projects to date. This collaboration with one of the most prestigious institutions in the United States began in 2015. After seeing the power of what Existing Conditions could provide for them for a single building, Williams College selected our team to 3D laser scan the entire campus of over 4 million square feet using the latest LiDAR technology and provide them with accurate 2D drawings of all their spaces.

Riverside Labs Life Sciences Campus
The Riverside Labs project highlights the collaboration between Existing Conditions, Shawmut Design and Construction & Gensler. By providing comprehensive as-built documentation services both pre and post-demolition, Existing Conditions demonstrated our 3D laser scanning expertise, crucial for the success of this endeavor. A significant challenge for Gensler at Riverside Labs was the availability of accurate and comprehensive digital as-built documentation. Initially equipped with only a basic set of 2D CAD drawings, the project lacked a detailed 3D Revit model, particularly for core and shell components. Our task was to create accurate, as-built drawings and a 3D BIM model by 3D laser scanning the site to prevent future hiccups, especially concerning MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) systems and structural placements.
