Project Overview
Located in the quiet residential area of Spring Valley, California, this single-story home spans approximately 1,767 sq. ft. and includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a garage, kitchen, dining area, and outdoor terrace. The scan aimed to document existing conditions in full detail to support future renovation or planning. Its straightforward layout and open exterior zones made it ideal for an efficient as-built capture.

Our Role & Technology
To support architectural planning and potential upgrades, DCMS conducted a LiDAR-based scan using Matterport Pro3. The goal was to deliver precise and comprehensive documentation across multiple formats.
Developed a Revit model based on the point cloud, modeling walls, roofs, windows, and perimeter fencing with dimensional accuracy
Produced CAD and PDF drawing sets for clear, consistent visual communication
Coordinated as-built deliverables to align with the client’s long-term architectural intentions
Key Challenges & Solutions
Detailed Exterior Integration: Accurate modeling of fencing, patios, and terrain was required to ensure site coherence
Multi-format Delivery Coordination: CAD, Revit, and PDF outputs were carefully aligned for seamless client use
Future-Proof As-Built Package: Documentation was structured to support remodeling, permit updates, and architectural planning

“DCMS provided a complete residential survey with speed and accuracy.”
Working with DCMS was smooth and professional from the start. Their team coordinated with the property manager to align the survey with an existing inspection, which made scheduling simple despite the home being tenant-occupied. The process was efficient, with the site visit completed in just one hour and the as-built drawings delivered within the promised five to six days.
