Non-contact, non-destructive LiDAR technology for fast, accurate commercial property documentation
The Commercial Property Scan has purpose-built to record every wall, beam, conduit, and corner of your office, retail, warehouse, or mixed-use space—down to the millimeter. From interior fit-outs to large-scale redevelopments, we create a crystal-clear digital twin that eliminates guesswork, rework, and costly field visits.
What Is a Commercial Property Scan?
Think of it as an as-built MRI for buildings. Using LiDAR-powered 3D laser scanners, we sweep millions of georeferenced points across every surface to generate a dense point cloud. That cloud becomes the foundation for:
- 2D CAD floor plans, elevations, and sections
- Accurate BIM models for clash detection and coordination
- Interactive 3D virtual tours for remote stakeholders
- Volume calculations, deformation analysis, and asset tagging
How Does Commercial Property Scanning Work?
Our project manager arrives on site with a Leica RTC360 or P-Series scanner. Here’s the step-by-step:
- Setup & Control Points – We establish survey control and align coordinates to your project grid.
- Rapid LiDAR Sweep – Each scanner emits up to 2 million laser pulses per second. Return times convert to xyz coordinates, creating a raw point cloud.
- HD Imagery – A panoramic camera captures 360° photos, instantly colorizing the cloud.
- Field Annotation – On-tablet tagging, audio notes, and photos preserve site context.
- Registration & QA – Back in the office, our engineers stitch multiple scans into a unified model with ≤ 4 mm accuracy.
- Custom Deliverables – We export the data in your required format—Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, IFC, OBJ, or a secure web viewer.
Need Data Fast? We’ve Got You.
Time is money in commercial real estate. Data Capture Service can document a 50,000 ft² office in a single day and turn around a BIM model in as little as 72 hours—slashing surveying costs by up to 50 % and preventing schedule-killing surprises.
Key Applications
- Tenant improvement & interior fit-outs
- MEP coordination & clash detection
- Facade refurbishment & glazing replacement
- Fire-life-safety and egress planning
- Stone-by-stone historical preservation
- Facility management & asset tagging
- Quantity take-offs & prefabrication
- Digital twin integration for smart-building analytics
Technology Behind the Scan
We deploy Leica RTC360 for agility in tight corridors and Leica P-Series ScanStations for long-range exteriors. Dual-axis compensation guarantees level scans, while automated visual-inertial alignment eliminates manual target setup—saving you precious on-site hours.
Scan & HD Photography in One Pass
Every scan position ends with a 60-second HD pano. The resulting photorealistic point cloud lets architects measure mullion profiles, engineers verify conduit paths, and owners showcase the space to investors—without stepping foot on site.
