Scan to As-Built Drawings

Construction rarely goes as planned, making it challenging to track all changes during the building process. Accurate as-built drawings are essential for any renovation or modification, capturing the exact dimensions and locations of all building elements.

The Importance of Accurate As-Built Drawings

Outdated or inaccurate as-built drawings can lead to unexpected issues and delays. Precise records expedite project planning and decision-making, allowing renovations to proceed smoothly and reducing costs from mistakes and reworks.

What Are As-Built Drawings?

As-built drawings, or redlines, compare the original design to the final structure, documenting changes made during construction. Submitted by contractors or engineers, they provide a detailed record of locations, dimensions, and materials used. These historical documents are crucial for future repairs, changes, or renovations.

3D Laser Scanning for Precise As-Built Drawings

Accuracy is vital for as-built drawings, and 3D laser scanning delivers it. This technology captures billions of data points quickly and precisely, creating a realistic representation of a building without repeated site visits. MAPP3D’s laser scanning ensures you get an accurate as-built model efficiently.

No Drawings?

Buildings evolve, and old drawings often don’t reflect current conditions. Without any drawings, you’re left measuring with a tape or guessing. Our 3D scanners capture all necessary data swiftly and accurately, giving you a precise as-built model. We discuss your project goals to ensure a smooth and exciting process.

Benefits of 3D As-Built Scanning

Enhanced Communication.

Share accurate as-built information with all stakeholders easily.

Improved Quality.

Spot and correct issues early in the construction process.

Increased Safety.

Laser scanning can be done at a distance, reducing the need for risky measurements.

Faster Turnaround.

Get accurate models in days, not weeks, keeping your project on schedule.

Lower Costs.

Minimize on-site change orders by documenting potential concerns early.

Applications for 3D As-Built Drawings

  • As-Built Surveys: Document improvements before, during, and after construction.

  • Digital Twin Creation: Virtual versions of buildings track changes throughout their lifecycle.

  • Construction Verification: Confirm projects meet their objectives or document deviations.

  • Clash Detection: Identify conflicts between building components before installation.

  • Facilities Management: Maintain and manage facilities with precise documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Our LiDAR system collects millions of laser points per second, including those that reach the ground beneath tree canopy or brush.

 

With proper ground control, our data routinely achieves sub-inch vertical accuracy.

We provide outputs in standard formats like LAS, TIFF, SHP, DXF, DWG, RVT and more, depending on your needs.

For legal boundaries or elevation certificates, yes. But for design, planning, and topographic understanding, our LiDAR is often faster and more cost-effective.

Yes. We can capture and compare data over time to track grading progress, erosion, vegetation changes, and more.
