The evolution of as-built documentation has taken a significant leap forward with the adoption of high-precision 3D laser scanning technology. Scena is at the forefront of this transformation, utilizing advanced LiDAR scanners to deliver fast, detailed, and highly accurate 3D models of existing conditions.
Advantages of 3D Laser Technology for As-Built Documentation
Unmatched Precision
LiDAR-based scanners capture millions of data points within seconds, producing highly detailed and dimensionally rich 3D representations of real-world conditions—ideal for renovation, retrofit, and adaptive reuse.
Time Efficiency
3D scanning significantly reduces time in the field and accelerates delivery, minimizing disruptions and enabling faster project turnaround for architects, engineers, and contractors.
Complex Geometry Handling
Unlike manual methods, laser scanners effortlessly record complex building geometries, including curves, irregular surfaces, and structural inconsistencies—critical for design accuracy and clash detection.
Scena’s Approach
Scena leverages this technology to produce as-built 3D models, visual documentation, and BIM-ready outputs across a range of industries, including:
- Historic preservation
- Commercial renovation
- Industrial retrofit
- Facilities and asset management
Our scan-to-model workflow is designed to support your team—not replace licensed architectural or surveying work—by providing high-quality visual documentation for design and coordination.
Conclusion
The integration of 3D laser scanning into as-built documentation has reshaped how design professionals and builders approach existing spaces. With Scena’s LiDAR-based solutions, clients benefit from greater accuracy, faster workflows, and a deeper understanding of the built environment—all without compromising compliance or reliability.
