3D laser scanning in Mission Bay (San Francisco), CA

Lab fit-outs depend on accurate capture of above-ceiling mechanical, fume hood exhaust, and process piping so engineers can plan changes without guesswork. UCSF and hospital buildings call for infection-control protocols and phased access around clinical operations. Developers converting shells to lab space also use scans to verify floor loading and vertical-shaft capacity before committing to a tenant plan.

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.

Mission Bay (San Francisco) sits inside our California 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.
