Project Overview

Project Summary

A 5,000 square foot house located in Sugar Land, TX needed up-to-date drawings for renovations. Reality IMT was hired by the owner to conduct a residential as-built using 3D laser scanning for the interior and exterior. The deliverable to the client included DWG files and a Revit model. Material quantities can be generated from these deliverables to help contractors accurately bid on the renovation project. Working with our friends at the Interfield Group, the owner provided the as-built drawings to the structural engineer who was able to perform load analysis based on accurate dimensions, shape and location of existing structures.

LiDAR and 3D Laser scanning technology is the most accurate form of building measurements, it is also the fastest considering the amount of data that can be captured on site.

Client Need

Project Challenge

The homeowner needed accurate, up-to-date documentation of their 5,000 SF two-story residence to support a renovation project. Traditional manual measurements would be time-consuming and prone to error, potentially leading to inaccurate contractor bids and structural complications. The owner required a fast, precise method to capture the complete building footprint–including walls, ceiling, floor, windows, doors, millwork and exterior elevations–to share with both contractors and a structural engineer.

Renovation Planning

The homeowner needed up-to-date drawings to plan and execute renovations on a 5,000 SF two-story house.

Accurate Contractor Bidding

Material quantities generated from the Revit model and DWG files enable contractors to bid accurately on the renovation project.

Structural Load Analysis

The structural engineer required precise dimensions, shape, and location data of existing structures to perform load analysis.

Reality IMT’s Approach

Requirements for The As-Built

Reality IMT performed interior and exterior measurements using 3D laser scanning technology, then generated a comprehensive 3D model of the building’s footprint to support renovation planning, contractor bidding, and structural engineering.

Interior & Exterior Scanning

Performed comprehensive interior and exterior measurements using 3D laser scanning technology to capture the complete building footprint.

3D Model Generation

Generated a detailed 3D model of the building’s footprint including walls, ceiling, floor, windows, doors, millwork and exterior elevations.

DWG & Revit Deliverables

Delivered DWG files and a Revit model to the client, enabling material quantity takeoffs and accurate contractor bidding.

Structural Engineering Support

The owner provided as-built drawings to the structural engineer through the Interfield Group, enabling load analysis based on accurate dimensions, shape and location of existing structures.
