As-Built LiDAR Floor Plans & Existing Conditions Documentation in Southeastern Michigan

 

 

 

Serving Architects, Contractors, & Project Teams Who Require Accurate Existing Conditions across Southfield, Troy, Birmingham, and Oakland County

 

"My work is grounded in precision and shaped by experience within structured project environments, where documentation must be both accurate and immediately usable. By combining LiDAR-based measured data with photographic reference, I deliver existing conditions documentation that remains consistent from field capture through final output—helping architects and contractors move forward with clarity and confidence."

Precision Data Capture with Integrated Visual Documentation

Capture accurate spatial data using LiDAR scanning to produce reliable 2D and 3D as-built floor plans, supported by photographic reference for field verification. Deliverables are structured for architects, contractors, and facility teams to use confidently throughout design, bidding, and project planning. Our existing conditions documentation supports early planning, renovation, and coordination workflows, helping reduce field verification cycles and downstream rework.

Existing Conditions
& Documentation

Existing conditions documentation includes structured photographic capture to record materials, systems, and spatial context. Captured in alignment with field conditions, these images provide a reliable visual record of the site. These visual references support reports, coordination, and communication, helping teams interpret conditions alongside measured data.

Measured Data. Verified Conditions. One Workflow.

From precise 2D/3D LiDAR documentation to complete existing conditions reporting, we provide integrated measurement and photographic reference to help teams understand, coordinate, and present the as-built environment.

 How We Work – Simple, Transparent, Professional

  • Consultation & Scope
  • Field Capture with LiDAR Precision
  • Processing & Documentation Delivery
  • Review & Ongoing Support

From initial consultation through final delivery, our process is structured to be transparent, efficient, and aligned with your project timeline.

 

Why Accurate Documentation Requires 'Professional LiDAR'

Professional LiDAR uses structured capture methods with fixed positions and controlled measurement, ensuring accuracy across the entire project. This produces consistent, repeatable data that can be used confidently for planning, design, and coordination.

Accuracy Comparison 

  • Professional LiDAR: ~5–15 mm accuracy.  Suitable for dimensioned plans, architectural fit, as-built documentation, and other measured drawings used across architecture, engineering, and construction.

  • Consumer LiDAR (phones/tablets): ~20–50 mm or greater. Limited consistency and not reliable for project-level documentation

Short Supporting Insight

Mobile LiDAR tools can generate quick visual scans, but lack the consistency required for accurate measurement. Errors accumulate across spaces and are further impacted by reflective surfaces, glass, and large open areas.
