Reality Capture For AEC And Engineering Teams
High accuracy 3D scanning converted into Revit and CAD ready assets for design, coordination, and as-builts.
We document existing conditions once, then deliver the models, floor plans, and point clouds your teams need to keep projects moving.
From early feasibility through closeout, Property Masters 3D helps you reduce site visits, cut surprises in the field, and give every stakeholder a clear view of the work ahead.
Where AEC And Engineering Teams Get The Most Value
Real-world project types where accurate existing conditions keep design, coordination, and construction on track.
-
Renovations, Tenant Improvements, And Adaptive Reuse
Reuse what works and redesign what does not. We capture existing conditions once so architects, engineers, and builders can work from the same set of measured models, plans, and visuals. Reduce RFIs, surprises behind walls, and unplanned field changes on office, retail, hospitality, and mixed-use projects.
-
Ground-Up, Shell, And Core Projects
Use reality capture to align your team before the first pour and throughout construction. Validate steel and concrete against design, check penetrations and embeds, and document progress for owners, lenders, and future trades. Give everyone a verified 3D record instead of relying only on markups and photos.
-
Campus, Healthcare, And Complex Facilities
Turn fragmented drawings and PDFs into a single, measurable source of truth. Ideal for universities, hospitals, and multi-building portfolios that need phased upgrades, life-safety improvements, and long-term capital planning. Models and sheets can be aligned to the tools your facilities and asset teams already use.
-
Infrastructure, Parking, And Site Work
Capture garages, site utilities, and exterior conditions with a mix of 3D scanning and aerial imagery. Support accessibility planning, drainage and grading changes, and future expansions with accurate context that design teams and civil engineers can trust.

Scan To BIM And CAD
High accuracy 3D capture converted into Revit and CAD ready assets.
Use as built models, point clouds, and aligned sheets to support design, coordination, clash detection, and field layout on renovation and ground up projects. -
3D Virtual Tours And Visual Reference
Immersive walkthroughs that give designers, owners, and trades a shared view of existing conditions.
Reduce repeat site visits, RFIs about basic layout, and confusion about what is actually in the field. -
Floor Plans And Documentation
Measured floor plans and supporting views tied back to the underlying scan.
Use them for early test fits, code and life safety reviews, and to give non technical stakeholders a simple, top down view of the space. -
Drone And Aerial Imaging
Aerial stills and motion clips that show how buildings, sites, and infrastructure relate to their surroundings.
Support planning, site logistics, and documentation for roofs, facades, and large or complex sites.
Deliverables Your AEC Team Can Use Right Away
Every project is scoped to your standards and tools, but most AEC and engineering engagements include some combination of the following.
-
Models And Point Clouds
• As built models in formats such as Revit and CAD, aligned to your project requirements
• Registered point clouds that support clash detection, layout, and coordination
• Export options that can be used in tools like Navisworks and similar platforms
-
Plans And Sheets
• Floor plans and reflected ceiling plans where scoped
• Key sections and elevations at critical interfaces or transition zones
• Sheet sets that support design review, permit discussions, and shop drawing development
-
Visual Reference And Context
• 3D walkthrough or panoramic viewer access for quick remote review
• Still image sets suitable for reports, markups, and presentations
• Optional overlays or callouts for key systems, tie in points, or areas of concern
-
Owner And Facilities Support
• Exports aligned to basic space and room data for planning and operations
• Content that can support future capital planning, life safety documentation, and facilities work
• Handover packages that extend the value of the project beyond substantial completion
Where Reality Capture Fits In The Project Lifecycle
You can bring us in at different stages, but the strongest results come when reality capture is planned as part of the overall project strategy.
-
Phase 1 – Due Diligence And Planning
Before you commit to design, budgets, or phasing, we document existing conditions so the team is not guessing from old drawings and photos.
Use the 3D data, plans, and visuals to support feasibility studies, test fits, early code review, and high level cost discussions. -
Phase 2 – Design And Coordination
As you move into design development and coordination, models and point clouds become a shared reference.
Architects, engineers, and trades can verify clearances, routing, and interfaces against what actually exists, not what used to be on paper. -
Phase 3 – Construction And Prefabrication
During construction, reality capture can support layout checks, prefabrication, and progress documentation.
Teams use the data to confirm that key elements match intent, understand field conditions, and reduce avoidable rework. -
Phase 4 – Closeout And Handover
At the end of the project, the same digital twin mindset can carry into closeout.
Owners and facility teams receive models, sheets, and visuals that help with operations, future projects, and life safety documentation instead of a box of disconnected files.
Who Benefits Inside Your Organization
The same reality capture package can serve multiple teams, from early design through long term operations.
-
Design And Engineering
Architects, interior designers, and engineering teams use models, point clouds, and visual reference to ground their work in real conditions.
They rely on accurate existing data to make layout decisions, coordinate systems, and reduce surprises during construction. -
Construction And Field Teams
General contractors, construction managers, and trades use the information to plan access, layout work, and confirm clearances.
When everyone can review the same 3D record, it is easier to resolve questions before they turn into delays or change orders in the field. -
Owners, Asset Managers, And Facilities
Owners, asset managers, and facility teams benefit from having a durable record of what was actually built.
They can reference the models, plans, and visuals during future projects, capital planning, and life safety reviews instead of starting from scratch each time.
Project Snapshot
Every project is different, but the pattern is the same. Clear existing conditions in, better decisions and fewer surprises out.
An architecture and engineering team was asked to renovate an active mixed use building with limited documentation and a tight schedule.
Property Masters 3D captured the interior, key exterior areas, and roof in a single mobilization, then delivered a coordinated model, plans, and visual reference package tied to the field conditions.
The design team used that data to support layout decisions, vet routing options, and prepare coordinated documents without repeatedly sending staff back to site.
By the time construction started, everyone was working from the same measured view of the building instead of a patchwork of old drawings and phone photos.
Frequently Asked Questions From AEC And Engineering Teams
-
A short conversation and a few core items are usually enough to start.
We will ask for the property address, any existing drawings or plans you are comfortable sharing, the areas that need to be captured, and the formats your team prefers to work in. From there we can outline scope, timelines, and deliverables. -
It depends on the size and complexity of the space, and whether it is occupied or active.
A single tenant space may be captured in a few hours. Larger buildings, campuses, or multi phase projects may be broken into several sessions. During scoping we will give you a realistic estimate based on square footage, access, and the level of detail required. -
Yes.
We regularly work in occupied buildings and on active job sites. We plan routes and timing around your operations, and can schedule early, late, or phased access when that makes more sense. The goal is to capture what we need while minimizing disruption to your team and your tenants or users. -
For most AEC projects, as built accuracy is suitable for design, coordination, and layout when the scope and limitations are understood up front.
We will talk through your tolerance expectations and intended uses before work begins so the deliverables are aligned with your needs, and we will be clear about any constraints based on access, site conditions, or technology. -
In most cases, yes.
We scope deliverables to fit the software your teams already use, such as Revit, CAD, Navisworks, and common viewer tools. If you have specific standards, templates, or naming conventions, we can review those early in the process and align where practical. -
We are based in Florida and can support projects throughout the region, with travel available for the right opportunities.
If you have multiple buildings or sites, we can phase capture and delivery so your teams are not overwhelmed and your internal stakeholders can review results as they come in.
