What is Reality Capture?

Reality Capture is the process of digitally documenting existing conditions using laser scanners, LiDAR, and photogrammetry. Instead of relying on outdated drawings, project teams work with verified 3D datasets that support design coordination, construction execution, and facility management.

Our key offerings in Massachusetts

Construction

Verification

Compare scanned conditions to plans to ensure construction aligns with design intent. Spot deviations early to avoid costly rework and delays—useful for contractors fabricating materials that must integrate with onsite conditions.

Existing Conditions Point Clouds

Capture critical dimensions and fine details with our 3D LiDAR scans, which can be formatted, optimized, or hosted for seamless sharing among AEC partners. This comprehensive data eliminates extra site visits and lays the groundwork for retrofit, repurpose, or expansion projects—all at a great value.

Clash Detection and Resolution

World-class 3D Revit models of existing conditions, developed from precise reality capture data. Optimized for unique workflows and rigorously quality controlled to provide a reliable foundation for repurposing, retrofits, fit-ups, or additions.

Scan to BIM

Transform point clouds into world-class, data-driven Revit models that form the backbone of your retrofit, repurpose, or expansion project. Our rigorous quality control and workflow optimization ensure complete accuracy—improving collaboration, decision-making, and overall project outcomes.

Overcoming your reality capture challenges in Massachusetts

01

Outdated or inaccurate documentation

Our Reality Capture services deliver up-to-date, detailed 3D representations of your facility.
Say goodbye to outdated plans and unreliable manual measurements—start your project with precise, reliable data to avoid costly errors.

02

Inefficient collaboration between stakeholders
