3D Building Modeling

No Drawings. No Problem.

AsBuilt utilizes 3D laser scanning to generate detailed 3D building models. Continue reading to discover the benefits and applications of 3D modeling and how we can assist you.

3D Building Modeling 

Traditionally, retrofitting, renovating or building from scratch relied on using two dimensional drawings and manually constructed models. With the rise of digital technology, a new way of measuring and creating models has come about — 3D modeling. Compared to 2D drawings and handmade models, 3D modeling offers a wide range of benefits.
AsBuilt is a leader in building scan and modeling. We're an engineering firm first and a scanning and modeling firm second, allowing us to do our work with an understanding of our customers' needs and goals. Learn more about how we use 3D laser scanning for buildings and projects. 

What Is 3D Modeling? 

During 3D modeling, software builds a three-dimensional representation of an object, such as a building or other structure. We use laser scanners to gather the data needed to create the model. Whenever the laser falls on a surface, it establishes a data point in three-dimensional space. The scanner collects billions of these data points, allowing a modeler to use the information to develop a digital representation of the structure. 

As a 3D building modeling company, we take care of the process from start to finish. We'll capture the data and train your team so you can see a return on investment quickly. Our team will collaborate with you across all project phases and provide support whenever you need it.

Our Building Scan and Modeling Process 

Our 3D scanning process involves three steps:

Capture

During the first step, we take the time to learn about your goals. Developing a full understanding of what you hope to achieve allows us to determine which data points matter most. It also helps us prioritize your concerns. We'll work with you to process your data so you can bring your project to life.

Visualize

Next, we'll take you on a tour of the data in three-dimensional form, using whatever software or browser you prefer. You can fly over the data, rotate it and section it. We'll help you become familiar with the information we captured to maximize its usability.
