What are commercial as-built drawings?
As-built drawings document the current layout and conditions of a building. They're sometimes referred to as existing condition drawings. We use 3D laser scanning to ensure measurements are precise—essential for renovations, leasing, or regulatory submissions.

What is a BOMA area analysis and why is it important?
A BOMA area analysis follows official standards to calculate rentable and usable square footage. It’s often used in lease negotiations, valuation, and space planning. Measurements can vary by 20% between measurement standards. Making sure you don’t leave RSF un-accounted for can mean huge benefits for your CAP rate.

Are you BOMA Certified?
BOMA doesn’t offer formal certification, but we’re deeply involved in the standard’s development with BOMA. Our team member chairs the BOMA Interpretations Committee and includes a licensed architect who oversees all work—just like how permit drawings are produced.

Can you measure from plans?
Yes, we often measure buildings during design phases for clients. We can extract measurements from existing drawings such as CAD files, scanned blueprints, or PDF files—provided they’re scaled accurately and up to date. BOMA does not require measurements be based on the physical building. We can also offer reduced fees to audit plans to check that everything in the plans you already have is up to date compared to the built conditions.

Can you help with Energize Denver compliance?
Yes, we are experienced providing deliverables to support complex mixed use buildings entry in the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. And we can help maximize your gross areas to get your best numbers. The 2025 BOMA Gross Areas standard was recently revised in cooperation with Energy Star to include gross areas compatible with EPA’s Portfolio Manager and Energize Denver requirements.

Can you perform site scans anywhere in the U.S.?
Yes. We love to travel and explore buildings! We serve clients nationwide and have measured and drawn entire portfolios in states like CA, WA, CO, TX, MI, NY, and more.

How accurate is your 3D LiDAR scanning?
Our 3D LiDAR scanning captures millions of data points with sub-inch accuracy. It eliminates manual errors and delivers reliable inputs for CAD and BIM.

What is Scan-to-BIM?
Scan-to-BIM converts 3D scan data into intelligent Revit models. It’s useful for facility management, design planning, and construction coordination.

What is LOD (Level of Development) in Scan-to-BIM?
LOD refers to the Level of Development of a BIM model—how detailed and reliable the model elements are. We offer Scan-to-BIM services from basic massing (LOD 100) to highly detailed architectural models (up to LOD 400), depending on your project needs. This ensures the model is fit for purpose—whether for space planning, design, or construction coordination.

What file formats do you deliver?
We deliver CAD files (.DWG), Revit models (.RVT), PDFs, and more—tailored to your needs. We can also deliver scan data, point could files, in Recap (.RCP) file format that is compatible with Revit design software.

How long does it take to get deliverables?
Most small to mid-sized buildings are completed within 1–2 weeks from scanning.

Are your services suitable for lenders or appraisers?
Absolutely. Our drawings and reports are often used for financing, refinancing, and third-party valuations.

Do you offer custom scope or phased projects?
Yes, we often provide phased services supporting new design projects. We tailor solutions for portfolios, adaptive reuse, compliance audits, and phased work.
