3D Scanning & LiDAR for Architecture, Engineering & Construction in Northern California

Scan Your Space delivers as-built documentation, progress capture, and BIM-ready point clouds for AEC firms across Northern California. Architects, engineers, and general contractors use our Matterport Pro3 and Leica BLK360 G2 scans to reduce site revisits, accelerate design iterations, and resolve field disputes.

What is an as-built scan?

An as-built scan is a 3D capture of an existing structure in its current condition, used as the basis for renovation design, addition planning, or condition documentation. We deliver as-builts as Matterport tours (visual walkthrough), iGUIDE floor plans (dimensioned), and LiDAR point clouds (.e57 for engineering).

What is BIM-ready scanning?

BIM-ready scanning produces a point cloud with sufficient density and accuracy to be imported into Autodesk Revit, ArchiCAD, or similar modeling software. We deliver .e57, .pts, and .rcp formats from Matterport Pro3 and Leica BLK360 G2 captures.

How does progress capture work on active construction sites?

We schedule recurring scans (weekly, biweekly, monthly) at key milestones. Each scan is timestamped and accessible to the project team. Compare conditions side-by-side, identify deviations, and document RFIs with a single share link.

How much does AEC scanning cost?

Matterport-only scans start at $1.25/sq ft. LiDAR scanning starts at $2/sq ft. Recurring progress capture qualifies for volume pricing.

What equipment do you use for these projects?

For AEC we deploy the Leica BLK360 G2 for survey-grade, modeling-ready point clouds and the Matterport Pro3 for fast visual as-builts and progress documentation. We match equipment to tolerance: BLK360 for BIM input and engineering, Pro3 for coordination, RFIs, and weekly progress capture.

How long does it take?

Most single-site projects are delivered within 48 hours of capture. Larger multi-building or BIM-grade engagements run 5–10 business days, scoped with milestones up front. Rush and emergency scheduling is available across our 8-county service area.

What deliverables do clients receive?

  • Registered .e57, .pts, and .rcp point clouds
  • Revit-ready BIM input
  • Matterport as-built walkthroughs
  • iGUIDE dimensioned floor plans
  • Time-stamped recurring progress captures

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We export .rcp point clouds that import directly into Autodesk Revit and ReCap, plus .e57 and .pts for other modeling platforms.

The Leica BLK360 G2 delivers millimeter-level survey-grade accuracy for modeling input. The Matterport Pro3 is accurate to within roughly 1% at room scale for coordination and progress work.

Yes. We can register scans to site control points or known coordinates so the point cloud aligns with your survey and modeling datum.

Yes. The Pro3 and BLK360 capture exteriors, facades, and site conditions, giving you complete as-built coverage inside and out.

We typically mobilize within the same week for recurring progress capture, and we set a standing schedule so milestone scans happen on time without re-coordinating each visit.
