POUGHKEEPSIE STATE OFFICE BUILDING IN NY
Poughkeepsie, New York
565 308 sq. ft.
Mar 26 – Apr 08 l 2025
As-Built Plans
Project Overview
As one of the primary administrative centers in the Hudson Valley region, this 565,308 sq. ft. state office complex in Poughkeepsie, New York required comprehensive documentation. The project demanded precise architectural documentation and site modeling to support renovation planning, including detailed interior layouts, complete façade elevations, and extensive topographic representation of the surrounding parking facilities and landscaped zones. The comprehensive nature of the documentation was essential to ensure accurate renovation designs that would maintain the building's functionality.
Deliverables
High-Resolution LiDAR Point Cloud: Accurate spatial data for as-built documentation
360° Digital Twin: Remote visualization tool for project stakeholders and designers
AutoCAD Drawings & PDF Sheets: Fully annotated and coordinated documentation
Site Photo Record – Comprehensive Annotated Reference Images for Full Design Context
Our Role & Technology
DCMS developed the as-built model in Revit, supported by point cloud data for millimeter-level accuracy. The workflow combined laser-based scanning with topographic processing to deliver consistent and detailed documentation.
Modeled architectural walls, windows, and roofs with precise coordination across all elevations
Created a Civil 3D-based topography from processed point cloud data, later refined in Revit
Produced CAD outputs including floor plans, façade elevations, and contour line drawings
Key Challenges & Solutions
Large-scale site with elevation changes: Used point cloud cleaning in CloudCompare to isolate ground data
Topography modeling complexity: Integrated Civil 3D and Revit workflows to ensure accurate surface representation
Consistency across massive floor area: Maintained dimensional fidelity through rigorous cross-checking and section refinement
OUR WORKFLOW:Scan, Process,
3D Modeling and Deliver
