Scanning pre-war apartment buildings
Six-story elevator buildings and walk-ups from the 1920s have ornate facades, courtyards, and unit layouts that were altered many times over the decades. A scan captures the interiors and all elevations in one or two days, producing a point cloud the architect can draft unit plans and building sections from. It is the fastest route to a reliable set of drawings for capital planning.
Facade scanning for Local Law 11
Most Bronx apartment buildings over six stories are due for a facade inspection every five years. Scanning each elevation from the street and the courtyard gives the engineer measured elevations and a baseline to compare across cycles. The same data supports contractor takeoffs when repairs are required.
Industrial scanning in Hunts Point and Port Morris
Warehouses and distribution buildings are scanned for rack layouts, fit-outs, and conversions. Clear heights, dock positions, column grids, and sprinkler mains are captured in one visit. Scanning a large open floor goes quickly, and exterior yards and loading areas can be included.
Homes and new construction
Detached and attached homes in Riverdale, Throgs Neck, and Morris Park are scanned before additions and renovations. For new construction, a scan at rough-in records where pipes and wires were run before the walls close, which the owner keeps as a permanent record.
