Largest US Provider of 3D Laser Scanning and Modeling Services
The rapid advancement towards the metaverse, software innovations, automation, and the relentless push in the 3D industry have created an immense demand for laser scanning, modeling, and 3D visualization services.
AsBuilt exists to meet this demand by providing laser scanning and modeling services for the creation of Digital Twins. With over ten years of reality capture experience, AsBuilt has honed its skills in gathering data from the most challenging and demanding environments.
Pursuit of the Perfect Project
The principals of AsBuilt started the company in pursuit of accurate inputs. Recognizing the detrimental effects of missing or inaccurate drawings on projects — leading to unnecessary risks, delays, and budget overruns— we sought to provide a better solution. The name "AsBuilt" reflects our commitment to delivering accurate "as-built" plans of facilities in their current states.
To create these plans, we use advanced laser scanners to capture billions of data points. These data points are then transformed into CAD models and photorealistic environments serving as backgrounds for concepts, retrofit design, clash detection, project engineering and many other purposes.
We offer a comprehensive 3D CAD scanning service, including field data capture, data processing, 3D modeling, 2D drawings, data hosting and more. All to ensure our clients have everything you need to achieve a return on investment and love what they do.
Benefits of 3D Laser Scanning Services
At AsBuilt, our goal is to prevent project issues before they arise. Our 3D laser scanning services enhance your work by providing:
- Speed: Our laser scanners collect millions of data points in seconds, allowing us to quickly produce detailed drawings and models of facilities. These data sets are measurable, shareable, and accurate, accelerating project planning and execution.
- Accuracy: Our 3D laser scanning captures detailed site data accurately the first time, reducing project disruptions and expediting projects.
- Reduced costs: The efficiency and precision of our 3D laser scans help control project costs. Accurate initial plans mean fewer change orders and delays, minimizing overall expenses.
- Safety: Our scanners collect data from a distance, eliminating the need for workers to access hard-to-reach or hazardous areas for measurements. The no-contact nature of 3D scanning also helps preserve the integrity of structures.
- Better collaboration: With access to consistent scan data, all project stakeholders can collaborate more effectively, improving overall communication and project outcomes.
Who We Serve
We work with facility owners, engineers, project managers, executive management and engineering sales teams who need accurate models of equipment, systems, or entire facilities. During a project, we partner with the facility owner, the engineering team, or the construction manager to leverage the power of our 3D services to ensure the greatest return on investment.
Why AsBuilt
Why choose AsBuilt? Few firms offer the comprehensive laser scanning and 3D modeling services we provide. Despite the industry's maturity, it lacks standardization, prompting us to develop our own workflows and standards that set higher benchmarks. Our aim is not just to capture data, but to help you maximize its potential.
Here's how we stand out:
- Commitment to Reducing Costs: We train our technicians in cost-effective data collection methods and utilize underused technology investments to pass savings to our clients.
- Engineering Expertise: As an engineering company, we tailor our scanning and modeling services to your specific project goals. We understand that successful data collection requires a clear understanding of the project's endgame.
- Fast Turnaround Time: We priortize quick turnaround times without compromising quality. We can dispatch a technician or engineer to a project within hours if needed. For less urgent projects, we still move swiftly, using multiple technicians and servers to collect and process date efficiently.
