3D Scanning & Modeling
The complete 3D models show the exact measurements of the structure. An architect can use the 3D model to begin designing a remodel. Another use is a Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) model during construction and a final As-Built documentation upon transfer to the owner.
What You Get From Drone 3D Scanning Services
Peter delivers processed, ready to use 3D data. Not raw files that need hours of post processing on your end.
The delivery time for these deliverables can vary depending on the complexity.
Peter will provide the information based on your needs.
Why Would You Use 3D Scanning Services?
See The Benefits of 3D Modeling Scans
MEP Progress Documentation: Capture the exact location of all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations before walls close in. A permanent spatial record your contractors and project managers can reference at any point during or after construction.
As-Built Virtual Tours: A web-based walkable tour of the completed space tied to accurate spatial data. Useful for owner handoff, warranty documentation, and future renovation planning. Share a link. No software required on the recipient’s end.
Editable 3D Models for Design & Remodel: Peter’s lidar equipment produces full 3D models exportable to Revit. Give your architect or designer an accurate digital starting point for remodels, additions, and fit-outs without manual field measurement.
Accurate 2D Floor Plans: Generated directly from the scan data. Dimensionally accurate and ready to use without additional drafting.
Marketing Virtual Tours: A web-based walkable tour of your finished space for prospective tenants, buyers, or customers. Shareable on Google Street View for additional visibility.
Not Sure Which Construction Drone Services Fit Your Project?
Drone Mapping Services
Drone mapping for construction sites, development projects, and land documentation. Peter delivers georeferenced aerial data in the formats your team already works in. Fast turnaround.
Construction Progress Monitoring
You want eyes on progress without driving to the site. That’s Construction Progress Monitoring. Scheduled drone flights give you date-stamped aerial records from groundbreak to completion.
Drone Inspections
You need to document a structure or inspect something you can’t easily reach. That’s Drone Inspection. Get data on hard-to-access structural elements. Peter gets the data without putting anyone on a ladder. This is data your team can use.
Common Questions About Construction Drone Surveys
LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging. It uses laser pulses to measure distances. This technology creates precise 3D models of real-world spaces. This data, combined with 360° imagery, creates immersive virtual tours. Users can navigate a building or job site remotely. LiDAR-based virtual tours in construction help track progress and verify existing conditions. They also document MEP systems before closing the walls. Plus, they create a lasting digital record of a site.
Virtual Tours can be viewed online or shared offline. All CAD drawings are in PDF, DXF, or DWG format. The 3D models are in AutoCAD or Revit format. Let Peter know if your team uses a specific format or platform. He will confirm if it’s compatible.
The LiDAR data created has an error of 1 inch over 100 feet. As such, the data collected is a very close representation of the space. When using the 3D models for design, always verify the measurements. As they say, measure twice and cut once.
Yes, the outside of structures can be included in your models.
Large spaces or buildings can be scanned and turned into a virtual tour or a model. This technology can scan any size of structure; it just takes longer.
