3D laser scanning in Downtown DC, DC

We scan office floors ahead of tenant renovations, mechanical penthouses, and parking structures, and capture the historic facades and lobbies that Penn Quarter and Chinatown conversions have to preserve. Capped building heights mean many projects are fit-out and retrofit rather than new construction, so as-built accuracy on ceiling plenums and risers matters more than overall massing. Work in occupied federal-adjacent buildings is typically scheduled overnight and weekends around security screening and badge access.

Scope follows the question being asked. If the team already models in-house, raw scan data is the whole handoff; if the answer has to reach a permit desk, permit-ready as-built drawings is faster and easier for everyone downstream to open; if coordination is the real problem, as-built modelling is what pays for itself. Anything outside the envelope — roof, yard, stockpile — comes from aerial photogrammetry in the same mobilization.

Downtown DC sits inside our Washington, D.C. service area, so mobilization is short and a return visit for a phase-two capture does not mean rebuilding the whole job. Most work here is scheduled within days rather than weeks, including nights and weekends for occupied buildings.
