3D Laser Scanning & As-Built Plans

Reality capture with millimeter LiDAR scanning and CAD/BIM model extraction

High-precision reality capture of existing Montreal buildings using 3D laser LiDAR scanning. Converting registered point clouds into pristine 2D CAD drawings or intelligent 3D Autodesk Revit as-built models.

REGULATORY PERIMETER

Sendjani and Partners is not an architectural firm and does not replace the services of a professional whose intervention is required by law. Where required by law, plans and specifications are signed and sealed by an architect, engineer, or professional technologist who is a member of their professional order.

3D Laser Scanning & As-Built Plans

Ground Truth for Complex Existing Buildings

Montreal heritage homes, century-old triplexes, and industrial conversions frequently deviate from straight lines. 3D reality capture removes guesswork before construction starts.
