Bad as-builts cost you in the field
Parts that don't fit. Clashes you didn't model. A slab that fails flatness after the pour. Most of it traces back to one thing: you're building against drawings that don't match the real conditions.
We 3D laser scan your existing conditions to millimeter-level accuracy and hand your team data they can actually build from—verified as-builts, Scan-to-BIM (turning a 3D scan into a usable model), and concrete flatness (FF/FL—how flat and level a slab is) QC. Nationwide, across the continental U.S.
Who it's for
Contractors, owners' reps, engineers, and facilities teams who need as-built documentation, Scan-to-BIM deliverables, concrete flatness verification, or accurate site data before they commit to fabrication or design.
What we scan for
Four ways contractors use our scans
As-built verification
Document what's actually there when drawings are missing, wrong, or incomplete—before renovation, TI, or MEP retrofit.
Scan-to-BIM
Turn a point cloud (the raw 3D scan data) into a usable Scan-to-BIM model at the LOD your design and prefab teams need.
Concrete flatness (FF/FL) QC
Full-surface slab scans with FF/FL results and deviation maps—so you catch problems before the next phase.
Retrofit & clash coordination
Feed accurate existing conditions into coordination so new work fits the real building, not an assumed one.
3D laser scanning for buildings
Laser scanning for buildings documents as-built geometry when drawings are missing, wrong, or incomplete—before renovation, tenant improvement, MEP retrofit, or Scan-to-BIM. Black Forge scans commercial and institutional facilities nationwide (continental U.S.): healthcare, education, office, retail, hospitality, and industrial—not residential home scanning.
Typical building scopes include interior and envelope capture, facade documentation, multi-floor TI, and campus-wide registration. Deliverables range from registered point clouds and web-viewable panoramic scan views to 2D extracts and modeled Revit content at an agreed LOD (how detailed the model is).
We mobilize off-hours and at night when occupied hospitals, retail, or offices can't shut down during the day—coordinated with your access and security team. For process, deliverables, pricing factors, and building-specific FAQs, see our complete guide: 3D laser scanning for buildings.

Accuracy, standards & safety
We capture to millimeter-level accuracy and register scans to a tight tolerance, and our scans integrate directly into BIM, CAD, and GIS workflows. On request, we'll share our equipment specs, accuracy tolerances, the standards we scan to, and our insurance and jobsite-safety documentation for your project.
Why work with us
Nationwide coverage
Mobile crews ready to deploy anywhere in the continental U.S.—coordinated to your schedule and access windows.
Built by construction people
We scan for the jobsite, not the lab—deliverables scoped to how contractors actually build and coordinate.
Data you can build from
Registered point clouds and Scan-to-BIM that drop straight into BIM, CAD, and GIS—no guesswork.
Example Engagement: Scan-to-BIM As-Builts for a Tenant Retrofit
The situation. A general contractor planning a tenant retrofit was working from outdated drawings with no reliable as-builts. Fabricating against assumed conditions risked parts that wouldn't fit the real space.
What we'd do. 3D laser scan the existing space, register the point cloud (the raw 3D scan data), and deliver a Scan-to-BIM model at the LOD the design and prefab teams actually need—capturing true, measured conditions instead of guesses.
The outcome you'd expect. Design and prefabrication based on verified as-builts, fewer field surprises, and less rework when materials reach the site.
Example engagement — illustrative of our process, not a specific client.
