Point cloud captured by Archileaf
01 / A clearer starting point
More of the place.
Fewer missing pieces.
A point cloud is a three-dimensional record of the surfaces a scanner can see. Millions of measured points preserve the shape of a building and its surroundings.
Paired with 360° imagery, it lets your team revisit the property, check dimensions and understand how spaces connect—long after the site visit is over.
For a complicated home, a historic property or a tenant improvement, that shared record gives the next design decision a stronger foundation.

02 / Built around your team
One visit.
The whole team.
The questions are different.
The existing conditions are shared.
Architecture
Make more time
for design.
Start additions, renovations and tenant improvements with a coordinated picture of the building. Capture the context around the immediate scope so later decisions have somewhere to start.
- Read complex geometry, level changes and connections.
- Use point clouds as a reference in your BIM workflow.
- Coordinate consultants around the same captured conditions.
Especially useful for complicated single-family homes, condos and adaptive reuse.
Landscape architecture
Connect the building
to its setting.
Understand visible grades, hardscape, trees and adjacent structures in relation to the building. Exterior coverage typically includes visible, accessible lot areas within about 30 feet of the structure. Fences, vegetation and other obstructions can limit coverage, and scan density tapers with distance. We can plan additional coverage where the landscape design needs more context.
- Study entries, terraces, stairs and building-to-ground relationships.
- Coordinate landscape work with the architect’s existing conditions.
- Use captured context to inform design and further investigation.
A scan documents visible surfaces. Boundary and certified survey work require separate services.
Interior design
Keep the room
in reach.
Return to a measurable visual record as layouts, lighting and finishes develop. Share questions about ceilings, openings and existing details without relying on disconnected site photos.
- Review room proportions, ceiling changes and door openings.
- Coordinate with the architect using the same source.
- Review casework locations, finish transitions and visible service locations.
Concealed conditions and final fabrication dimensions still need the appropriate field verification.
Building preservation
Understand what
makes it worth keeping.
Document the visible geometry and character of an existing building before work begins. Bring irregular walls, roof forms and facade relationships into a shared record for the preservation team.
- Record observed conditions at a defined moment in time.
- Study visible architectural features in their wider context.
- Support measured documentation and rehabilitation planning.
Special-detail capture, condition assessment and repeat surveys are defined separately in the scope.
Structural engineering
See how the pieces
come together.
Review exposed framing, wall alignments and level changes in the context of the whole building. Work alongside the architect from the same measured reference as an addition or renovation takes shape.
- Review visible member locations, spans and connections.
- Study floor elevations and irregular existing geometry.
- Coordinate openings and proposed work with the design team.
Scanning records visible geometry. Concealed conditions, material properties and structural capacity need the engineer’s investigation.
Construction
Bring the site
into the conversation.
Review existing conditions with the architect, consultants and trades before work begins. A shared visual record makes it easier to explain a question, plan access and coordinate the next step.
- Review clearances, access routes and existing interfaces.
- Support estimating and trade coordination with measurable context.
- Point the team to the same location when a question comes up.
The scan captures a moment in time. Confirm current conditions and final installation dimensions in the field.
Your local scanning partner
Architectural judgment.
From the first visit.
We use this information in design work, too. That changes the questions we ask before turning on the scanner.
Archileaf plans capture around the building, the intended deliverables and the people who will use them. Based in Denver, we work across the metro area and mountain communities typically within a few hours’ drive.
A useful scope, from the start.
Tell us what the whole team needs. We’ll coordinate interior, exterior and site coverage before the visit.
Support from people who use Revit.
Our local, architect-led team works in Revit every day. We can help you bring the point cloud into your model, coordinate it with your project and make the data part of your existing workflow.
03 / From the field to your desk
A capable tool.
A considered process.
We use the NavVis MLX mobile laser scanner to capture visible building and site geometry alongside panoramic imagery. We plan the route and coverage around the questions your project needs to answer.

Local, boutique Revit modeling
Models made for
the way you work.
Our Denver-based, architect-led team turns measured conditions into usable Revit as-built models, with architectural judgment in every wall, opening and assembly.
From an existing-conditions model to construction documents and permit packages, we can help carry the production work so your team has more time for design.
Discuss modeling & documentationModeling and documentation are scoped separately from scanning, around your project and level of detail.
Details that make sense.
We use architectural judgment to identify actual door and window sizes, interpret materials and wall thicknesses, and choose appropriate Revit families. We flag assumptions where construction is concealed.
Practical geometry.
We keep intended orthogonal walls square where small deviations allow, using agreed modeling tolerances—often around ¼″ for walls. Meaningful irregularities stay in the model, with geometry that remains easy to edit, dimension and document.
Stay focused on design.
For designers and firms with limited production bandwidth, we can help develop construction documents and permit packages from your design direction. We coordinate the scope, standards and handoff with your team.
04 / Plan your scan

a clear estimate.
Explore the scope and see the fee breakdown. Then send the details so we can confirm the project with you.
No email required to use the calculator.
Let’s plan the visit together. Every project includes setup and one site visit for $360. If changes to your team’s or your client’s access arrangements or requested scope mean we need to return, an additional $360 mobilization applies. We’ll talk through the plan and fee with you before scheduling.
05 / Before we arrive
Make room for
a good scan.
A little preparation helps us capture more useful information and makes the visit easier for everyone.
Share this checklist with the property owner and anyone who will be on site.

A few practical questions
Before you book.
Is a scan the same as an as-built model?
No. The scan is a measured point-cloud reference with imagery. A Revit model or drawing set is created through a separate modeling and documentation scope. We can provide both.
Can the building remain occupied?
We coordinate with occupants before and during the visit. Let us know who will be present so we can plan access and reduce movement through the areas being scanned.
Can you scan just part of the building?
Yes. Interior-only and exterior-only building scans receive a 20% reduction in the scanning fee. We usually recommend a full scan because later questions often extend beyond the original area of interest. Small selected areas or unusual scopes can be quoted individually.
What about the whole property?
Exterior coverage typically includes visible, accessible lot areas within about 30 feet of the structure. Fences, vegetation and other obstructions may limit coverage, and scan density tapers with distance. Landscape-only scans and additional land coverage start at $0.40/SF, decreasing to $0.30, $0.20 and $0.15/SF at the size tiers shown in the calculator. Tell us where the design needs more detail so we can plan the coverage together.
What can’t the scanner tell us?
A scan records visible, accessible surfaces. It does not reveal concealed construction, establish property boundaries or replace specialist condition assessments. We’ll discuss access, obstructions and any detail that needs particular attention before the visit.
How long do delivery and hosting last?
Deliverables are usually ready in one week. Some 24-hour rush service is available by arrangement. IVION hosting is included for one year; continued hosting is billed at Archileaf’s cost plus 15%.
06 / Let’s define the scope
