What is 3D Laser Scanning?

3D scanning provides value to any project. A 3D laser scanner captures millions of three-dimensional data points, providing factual information about assets. Laser scan data is registered into a dimensional point cloud that a client can use from their own computer to review progress, import into AutoCAD or Revit software, or use for general reference. Additional deliverables, such as 2D drawing and 3D models, can be developed for any project.

What are the types of scanning in construction?

Existing Conditions Scan  Need measurements of a project before the construction process? Allow us at PCDS to scan the interior and exterior of your building for you. We will then deliver to you a 3D point cloud that includes images of your building that can be viewed. We can also convert point clouds into a 3D model using Revit, this model will include all structural elements and even large equipment.   Point-in-Time As-Built Conditions Scan After your structure is built and all MEP systems are installed, PCDS will perform an HDS laser scan of the interior of the building, fully capturing and documenting all utilities and MEP systems before drywall & flooring get's installed. We can then make you a 3D model of the building using Revit. Think of the value-add this will bring to your clients and their facility personnel-having a 3D model of everything ‘behind-the-walls’! ​ Under-Slab Utility As-Built Scan After the trenches are dug and utilities installed, prior to backfilling, PCDS will perform an HDS laser scan of the interior of the building, fully capturing and documenting all underground utilities and MEP systems, tying them to adjacent structures, before they are covered by concrete. We will then provide a color 3D point cloud and turned into a Revit or CAD file. ​ Final As-Built Conditions Scan After your entire building is constructed, PCDS will perform a laser scan of the interior and exterior of the building, fully capturing and documenting all visible existing conditions. We will then provide a color 3D point cloud that can be turned into a Revit or CAD file for an
