SINGLE-FAMILY HOME IN BANNER ELK
Banner Elk, North Carolina
9,110 sq. ft.
Jul 6- Aug 9 | 2024
As-Built Plans
Project Overview
DCMS conducted a detailed 3D laser survey of a 9,110 sq. ft. single-family estate in Banner Elk, North Carolina, a scenic mountain town known for its luxury homes and natural beauty. The property featured steep rooflines, exposed beams, and intricate façades. Using high-density point cloud data, our team captured both interior and exterior conditions. This digital model supported renovation planning, design coordination, and remote collaboration with project stakeholders.
Deliverables
High-density point cloud data and georeferenced orthophotos.
LOD 300 Revit model with architectural and structural elements.
AutoCAD 2D drawings including plans, elevations, and sections
Virtual Tour for stakeholder collaboration
Our Role & Technology
To ensure complete data coverage, our team used a combination of terrestrial LiDAR scanning and drone capture to generate a coordinated model of the residence and its surroundings.
LIDAR scan for full interior and exterior coverage
Point cloud processing and modeling in Autodesk Revit (LOD 300)
AutoCAD used for drawing generation and documentation exports
Key Challenges & Solutions
Multi-level Complexity: Complex geometry and split-levels required extra precision in point cloud alignment.
Detailed Rooflines: Varied angles and heights were carefully modeled for accurate BIM coordination.
Vegetation Obstruction: Scanning in wooded areas required optimal path planning and drone integration to avoid data gaps.
