3D Laser Scanning Services
Plansrow 3D Laser Scanning Services explained
Capture Highly Detailed and Accurate Digital Measurements of Buildings and Infrastructure
Our 3D laser scanning company uses advanced LiDAR technology. It collects millions of data points per second. This creates point clouds with an accuracy of ±2 mm. This enables precise documentation of building dimensions, spatial layouts, and structural alignments for verified as-built conditions. Deliverables include 2D CAD drawings, 3D BIM models, 3D meshes, and virtual tours. This real-time data improves collaboration, reduces design errors, streamlines workflows, and enhances project efficiency for architects, builders, engineers, and developers.

Reasons to Use 3D Laser Scanning for Your Projects
Millimeter-Level Accuracy Achieve ±2 mm precision using LiDAR-based terrestrial scanning. This helps avoid costly mistakes. These errors can cause change orders that normally range from $5,000 to $50,000 for each conflict. Our high-resolution point clouds provide a complete 360° view of walls, floors, ceilings, and structural elements. This ensures that every dimension matches real-world conditions with construction-grade accuracy.
Comprehensive Data Capture Collect over 1 million data points each second. This creates dense point clouds that capture every surface detail of Plansrow.
Accelerated Project Timelines Reduce field time and paperwork by up to 70%. This speeds up design validation and construction workflows. By collecting all site data during one visit, teams can avoid unnecessary trips. This minimizes schedule disruptions.
Early Clash Detection Identify conflicts between existing conditions and proposed designs with 99.8% reliability. This prevents costly rework and delays. Scan-to-model comparisons help engineers and architects ensure their designs match actual site conditions. This validation occurs before fabrication begins.
Cost Reduction Minimize change orders, rework, and material waste with accurate as-built data. Projects using 3D laser scanning report 50% fewer change orders and overall project cost savings of 5-15%.
Enhanced Collaboration Share TruViews and virtual site tours for remote stakeholder engagement. This reduces travel costs and improves decision-making. These immersive tools allow teams to review existing conditions in detail without needing to physically be on-site, accelerating approvals and designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions about our 3D laser scanning services.
How accurate are your as-built drawings
They are derived from point cloud data with millimeter-grade accuracy. Far more reliable than conventional measurement workflows.
How fast can you deliver drawings
Most commercial projects are completed within days, not weeks depending on building size and model detail.
Can you also create a BIM model from the scans
Yes. We offer full Scan-To-BIM services at any LOD (200–400).
Do you work across California
Yes. We service all California cities Fresno, Clovis, Bay Area, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and more.
Do you work outside of California?
Yes. We work on projects across multiple states. Plansrow has operational hubs in multiple regions, allowing our team to mobilize quickly. If your project is awarded to us, we can be set up and fully deployed on-site within two business days, anywhere in the U.S.
