EXISTING CONDITIONS / 01

A record your team can work from.

Each engagement is shaped around the building, the project questions, and the documentation your team needs next.

01 / Capture

LiDAR field capture

Terrestrial LiDAR capture for historic interiors, façades, roofs, and complex existing conditions. Field planning considers access, material sensitivity, and the level of detail the project requires.

02 / Register

Registered point clouds

Aligned, organized point-cloud files that give architects, consultants, and contractors a dependable shared spatial reference for existing conditions.

03 / Document

Drawing-ready as-builts

Clear documentation prepared to support restoration planning, design coordination, and construction decisions without losing the character of the original fabric.

Deliverables

Built for the next decision.

Point-cloud files

Registered spatial data organized for your modeling and documentation workflow.

Existing-conditions drawings

Measured plans, elevations, sections, and detail references scoped to the project.

Annotated field record

A clear visual reference for conditions, coordination questions, and preservation priorities.

Coordination-ready exports

Formats prepared for the software and collaborators already in your project team.

How we work

Precision is part of preservation.

We begin with the questions that matter: what must be understood, what must be protected, and what must be communicated. The result is a measured record that helps teams work carefully and move forward with confidence.

01

Define the record

Align scope, access, accuracy needs, and deliverables with the project team.

02

Capture with care

Document existing conditions with a field approach suited to historic materials and active sites.

03

Deliver for use

Provide a coordinated record that supports the next phase of design, restoration, or construction.

Bring us the existing-conditions question.
