3D Laser Scanning for General Contractors

Last updated:

Short answer: We give GCs and CMs field-verified existing conditions and coordination-ready models so trades build against reality — cutting RFIs, change orders, and rework driven by bad information.

Rework is one of the biggest hidden costs on any job, and a large share traces back to inaccurate existing-condition information. An accurate scan up front turns surprises in the field into decisions made at the desk.

What contractors deal with

  • Existing drawings don’t match the building
  • Above-ceiling and MEP conflicts discovered mid-construction
  • Change orders and schedule slips from field surprises
  • Verifying installed conditions for coordination or QA

How field-verified documentation helps

Graphic covering four contractor problems: existing drawings not matching the building, above-ceiling and MEP conflicts discovered mid-construction, change orders and schedule slips from field surprises, and verifying installed conditions.

We capture the site accurately and deliver a model your team can coordinate and build against, with a verification report proving it. Use it for clash detection, fabrication, and QA — see our ROI breakdown for the numbers.

What we deliver for contractors

  • Coordination-ready scan-to-BIM models
  • Registered point clouds for clash detection
  • 2D as-built CAD drawings
  • Progress / installed-condition documentation
  • Field-verification / accuracy report

Why CAD Construct LLC

Five-step graphic showing where scanning fits a build: before you break ground, coordinate and clash-check, document as you build, verify against a defined LOA, and hand over a real record.

Control-based, verified scanning by a team with 20+ years in Western PA. We document to a defined LOA so your coordination stands up in the field.

Frequently asked questions

Can a scan help reduce rework?

Statistics graphic showing contractor scope: five deliverables, three stages where scanning applies, two clash detection workflows supported, and twenty plus years documenting existing buildings.

Yes — accurate existing conditions prevent the coordination-driven rework that comes from bad information. Try our rework calculator to estimate the savings.

Do you support clash detection?

Comparison graphic contrasting building without field-verified data against building with it, across trade coordination, clash detection, where decisions get made, and what the owner receives at handover.

Yes. We deliver registered point clouds and models ready for Navisworks or Revit clash workflows.

Can you document installed conditions during construction?

Yes — periodic scans capture installed MEP and structure for QA and coordination.

How fast can you mobilize?
