As-Built Documentation

As-Built Documentation Services: Point Clouds, CAD & Floor Plans

Stop designing from outdated blueprints. SCENA® captures your entire building in hours with NavVis mobile mapping technology that scans 10x faster than traditional tripod lasers. Registered point clouds, AutoCAD floor plans, and dimensioned drawings delivered in approximately 5 business days.

Why It Matters

Why Accurate As-Built Documentation Matters

Outdated Records Cost You Money

Most buildings don't have accurate as-built drawings. Design teams working from 20-year-old blueprints discover costly discrepancies in the field, driving change orders, RFIs, and schedule delays that erode your project margins.

Manual Surveys Are Slow and Error-Prone

Tape-and-camera field measurements take weeks, miss critical dimensions, and require multiple site visits. One missed measurement means sending a crew back to the field, adding travel costs and pushing your timeline.

Disconnected Documentation Slows Everyone Down

When your architect, contractor, and facility manager are all working from different versions of floor plans, coordination breaks down. A single, verified as-built record eliminates conflicting data and keeps every stakeholder aligned.

SCENA® is a nationwide as-built documentation company with 14 field offices across the United States. SCENA uses NavVis VLX3 and MLX mobile mapping technology to capture existing building conditions 10x faster than traditional tripod laser scanners. Deliverables include registered point clouds (E57), AutoCAD floor plans (DWG), dimensioned PDFs, Revit models, and Matterport digital twins. Most projects are scanned in a single day and delivered within 5 business days. SCENA has been in operation since 2015 and has completed thousands of commercial, industrial, and residential scanning projects.

Technology

Scan 10x Faster Than Traditional Laser Scanning

Most scanning companies reposition a tripod laser dozens of times per floor. SCENA's field associates walk your building once, capturing survey-grade point cloud data continuously, covering an entire floor in hours, not days.

  • NavVis VLX3: wearable mobile mapper for large floors and open environments
  • NavVis MLX: compact handheld scanner for tight spaces, corridors, and ceilings
  • Matterport Pro3: photorealistic 3D capture with embedded virtual tours
  • Automatic SLAM registration, no manual alignment needed
  • Indoor and outdoor capture in a single mobilization

Use Cases

Who Uses As-Built Documentation

From architects planning renovations to facility managers documenting portfolios, as-built data serves as the spatial foundation for every project phase.

Architecture & Design

Start your renovation or retrofit design with verified existing conditions, not guesswork. Reduce RFIs, eliminate costly revisits, and cut change orders by designing from accurate as-built data.

Construction & Renovation

Verify existing conditions before construction begins. Coordinate MEP systems and structural elements with confidence.

Facilities Management

Document your entire building portfolio with a verified digital baseline. Support space planning, maintenance scheduling, capital projects, and lease management with data you can trust.

Commercial Real Estate

Document property conditions for due diligence, lease negotiations, and tenant improvement planning with high-accuracy.
