Enterprise Existing Conditions Documentation
Retail As-Built and Store Renovation Surveys
Reality IMT provides retail as-built surveys and store measurement services using advanced 3D laser scanning technology. We help retail owners, property managers, architects, engineers, contractors, and tenants capture accurate existing conditions for renovations, tenant improvements, rebranding initiatives, store planning, and facility management. Our digital documentation creates a reliable foundation for design, construction, and operational decision-making.
What This Service Includes
Our retail as-built services document existing store conditions with high-accuracy laser scanning and building measurement technology. We capture architectural, structural, and MEP conditions and convert field data into floor plans, elevations, CAD drawings, BIM models, point clouds, and visual documentation that support renovations, space planning, lease management, and facility upgrades.
