Step 1
Capture accurate building conditions
Document active facilities using LiDAR and 360° imagery to create a dependable visual and spatial record in a single visit.
Turn every site visit into a reliable building record
Document buildings once and reuse the data for assessments, planning and projects, without repeat site visits.
Facilities teams need building data they can trust long after the site visit.
It’s a snapshot in time, but for mature clients we keep it current, post-renovation documentation, new builds, and ongoing updates as part of their programs.
Building documentation that supports every workflow
Capture accurate building data in one visit and reuse it across assessments, planning and projects, reducing repeat site visits and improving coordination.
Create reliable building records
Capture accurate floor plans, measurements and visual documentation in one system, so teams can validate layouts and reference trusted building data anytime.
Reduce repeat site visits
Access detailed building data remotely to verify conditions, quantify assets and scope work, without returning to site or disrupting active facilities.
Support assessments & capital planning
Thousands of lidar-based measurements per scan reduce human error and improve confidence in your documentation.
Scale across portfolios securely
Maintain consistent documentation across locations with controlled access and secure data sharing, supporting collaboration without exposing sensitive information.
Facilities teams need consistent, accurate building documentation to plan confidently, reduce repeat site visits and keep projects moving.
