Project Overview

Project Summary

Reality IMT performed existing condition LiDAR scanning to document floorplan geometry, ceiling plan elements, interior and exterior elevations, and kitchen equipment for a restaurant in Austin, Texas. The client needed reliable existing condition drawings and a model to help with architectural design and permitting to upgrade the restaurant.

Reality IMT supports restaurant owners and property managers in documenting existing conditions with high precision. With more than 3 million square feet of spaces scanned and modeled, the competence of the team was easy to see. The deliverables included as-built floorplans, reflected ceiling plans, an enlarged kitchen plan, interior and exterior elevations in DWG, PDF, and Revit formats.

Reality IMT’s Approach

Precision Restaurant Capture and Permit-Ready Deliverables

Reality IMT structured the work to document an operational restaurant with minimal disruption, delivering accurate as-built drawings and models for renovation design and permitting.

Planning & Scope Alignment

Reality IMT coordinated with the restaurant owner to schedule scanning during off-peak hours, ensuring minimal disruption to dining service and kitchen operations.

Field Capture

LiDAR scanning captured floorplan geometry, ceiling plan elements, kitchen equipment, and interior and exterior elevations with high precision across the 8,350 SF restaurant.

Processing & QA/QC

Point cloud data was processed and quality-checked to ensure accurate geometry for floor plans, kitchen layouts, and elevation documentation.

Deliverable Production

As-built floorplans, reflected ceiling plans, enlarged kitchen plan, and interior and exterior elevations were produced in DWG, PDF, and Revit formats for design and permitting.

Project Outputs

Deliverables Provided

The deliverables below reflect the archived project information and should be matched with project-specific images before publication.

Final deliverable sheet or Revit model view used for existing-condition documentation.

Floor Plans

Accurate as-built floorplans documenting dining areas, kitchen layout, service corridors, and restroom configurations for renovation design.

Reflected Ceiling Plans

RCP documentation of ceiling conditions, lighting, HVAC, and MEP elements for coordination with renovation design and equipment upgrades.

Revit model, elevation, section, or project-specific deliverable snapshot.

Enlarged Kitchen Plan

Detailed kitchen plan showing equipment layout, utility connections, ventilation, and workflow patterns to support kitchen redesign and permitting.

As-built drawing or floor plan snapshot prepared from field-verified data.

Interior Elevations

Documented interior wall conditions, finishes, fixtures, and millwork for dining area and service space renovation planning.

Exterior Elevations

Measured exterior building elevations for facade assessment, signage planning, and coordination with interior renovation scope.

Revit Model

3D Revit model with accurate restaurant geometry, supporting design visualization, spatial planning, and contractor coordination.

Project Outcome

Reliable As-Built Documentation for Restaurant Renovation and Permitting

The completed documentation provided the restaurant owner with reliable existing condition drawings and a Revit model that supported architectural design and permitting for the restaurant upgrade. The as-built floorplans, reflected ceiling plans, enlarged kitchen plan, and interior and exterior elevations gave the design team an accurate foundation for renovation planning.

The multi-format deliverables — DWG, PDF, and Revit — ensured compatibility with the architect’s workflow, contractor coordination, and permit submission requirements.
