LiDAR 3D Laser Scanning
At DCMS, we specialize in 3D laser scanning for as-built documentation, using cutting-edge LiDAR technology to capture precise data from any space — residential, commercial, or industrial.
Our expert technicians deliver point clouds, AutoCAD floor plans, and Revit 3D models, trusted by architects, engineers, and facility managers nationwide.
Whether it’s for renovation, space planning, or compliance, DCMS provides fast, accurate deliverables you can rely on.
Lead Projects with Laser Precision
At DCMS, our 3D laser scanning services go beyond capturing data — they streamline the entire lifecycle of your renovation, coordination, and construction workflows.
From design validation to clash detection, we deliver dimensionally accurate, scan-based documentation that helps you reduce rework, minimize delays, and make confident decisions.
Our LiDAR and photogrammetry tools allow us to cover everything from tight interior spaces to large-scale industrial facilities — generating deliverables like point clouds, floor plans, elevations, and Revit models.

Frequently asked questions
-
What is 3D scanning?3D scanning is a process of capturing three-dimensional data from an object using specialized equipment. The resulting point cloud data can be used to create highly accurate three-dimensional models of the object.
-
How is 3D scanning used for as-builts?3D scanning can be used to quickly and accurately capture existing conditions on a construction site. This data can then be used to create as-built drawings and models that can be used for future reference.
-
What are the benefits of using 3D scanning for as-builts?There are many benefits to using 3D scanning for as-builts, including the ability to create highly accurate documentation, capture data more quickly than traditional methods, and avoid disruptions to construction activities.
-
How much does 3D scanning cost?The cost of 3D scanning services can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. However, in general, 3D scanning is more cost-effective than traditional methods of collecting as-built data.
-
How long does it take to scan a project?The time required to scan a project depends on the size and complexity of the project. However, in general, 3D scanning can be completed much more quickly than traditional methods of collecting as-built data.
-
How is the data collected?3D scanning services use specialized equipment to capture three-dimensional data from an object. This data is then converted into a point cloud that can be used to create highly accurate three-dimensional models.
-
What type of equipment is used for 3D scanning?There are many different types of equipment that can be used for 3D scanning. The type of equipment that is best suited for your project will depend on the size and complexity of the project.
-
How is the data processed?After the data is collected, it is converted into a point cloud that can be used to create highly accurate three-dimensional models. These models can then be used for future reference.
-
How long does it take to process the data?The time required to process the data depends on the size and complexity of the project. However, in general, 3D scanning can be completed much more quickly than traditional methods of collecting as-built data.
-
What are the deliverables?The final product of a 3D scanning project is a highly accurate three-dimensional model that can be used for future reference. This model can be used to create as-built drawings and documentation.
