Adaptive Reuse in Pittsburgh: How Reality Capture Helps

Pittsburgh leads in adaptive reuse — and reality capture gives designers the accurate existing conditions these projects demand.

Old bones, new uses

Converting Pittsburgh’s mills, warehouses, and historic offices into housing, offices, and retail starts with knowing exactly what is there. A laser scan captures irregular, aged structures precisely.

From scan to design

Scans feed as-builts and BIM so adaptive-reuse design fits reality — see scanning for renovations.
