Getting an accurate floor plan for an existing office building that was built in the 1980s is no easy task—but when the right tools are used, it can be done accurately and efficiently. Reality IMT performed 3D laser scanning to document the existing building. It took 13 hours to complete the measurements (interior and exterior) of this 70,000 SF building. This would have taken at least one week with a crew of 2–3 people taking manual measurements.
In addition, when scanning a building, we are able to capture every inch of it in a digital format. This is taken back to the office where any unwanted data is removed before the modeling starts—resulting in a clean, accurate digital record of the entire facility.
The existing multi-level building is located in Bellaire, Texas and serves as an office facility. The client required a complete as-built documentation package to support leasing, facility management, and potential renovation planning.
