Constructed in the early 1970s, this office building was recently acquired by a new owner with the vision of renovating and subdividing it into modern, leasable spaces to meet the growing demand from small businesses in the Houston area. Recognizing the limitations of outdated building stock, the owner understood the necessity of accurate as-built documentation before any design work could commence. Reality IMT was engaged to laser scan the office building pre-renovation, delivering a ready-to-use Revit file to the Architect.
Leveraging this precise digital foundation, the Architect redesigned every level of the building and the exterior elevations. Following the City of Houston commercial remodel center’s approval of the renovation permits, the construction crew executed the transformation over several months. Upon completion of the construction, Reality IMT returned to the site to perform a post-renovation scan, providing the owner with updated drawings reflecting the new layout and, crucially, accurate square footage measurements for each individual suite.
