Precision Reality Capture for the Built Environment
We provide precise dimensional documentation for architects, engineers, contractors, and building owners across Utah with nationwide coverage available.
Our Technology
We employ the most advanced technology available to meet your specific project requirements.
Real Time Handheld Capture
Walk-through scanning that delivers dense, high accuracy point clouds with 1 mm point spacing and unmatched centimeter level precision. Each scan captures over a million points per square meter up to 10x higher density than comparable systems and rivaling the finest terrestrial laser scanners (TLS). Combined with survey-grade RTK positioning, our workflow ensures georeferenced data with minimal drift, enabling seamless large-area documentation and real-world coordinate alignment. Your design team can rely on our model geometry for confident clash detection without ever leaving the office.Aerial LiDAR & Photogrammetry
Comprehensive site wide terrain mapping, façade documentation, and large area surveys that combine LiDAR precision with photogrammetric visual accuracy. Aerial based point clouds are merged with ground based scans and jointly processed for cohesive, highly reliable data. Extended flight times allow for full coverage in single mobilizations, ensuring efficient capture of complex sites.High Accuracy Static Laser Scanning
For engineering critical applications where dimensional tolerance is essential, we deploy top of the line terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) delivering millimeter level precision and trusted accuracy.Photorealistic 3D Environments
Experience immersive walk-throughs powered by 3DGS technology—combining high visual fidelity with precise dimensional accuracy, accessible directly from any web browser without extra software or training. Our mobile scanners feature dual 48 MP cameras for true-color, high-resolution point cloud colorization. Adding to this, our integration of Gaussian Splats (3DGS) delivers an advanced new level of photorealistic data visualization.

FAQs
Where are you located and what areas do you serve?
We're based in Draper, Utah, serving the Wasatch Front and Back locally. We travel nationwide for larger projects or clients with multi-facility documentation requirements.
What accuracy do your scans provide?
Our advanced handheld systems deliver 2-3cm accuracy at 100 meters with 1mm point spacing, approaching static scanner performance (1-2cm). High-precision static scanning provides 1-3mm accuracy at 10 meters for engineering-critical applications. RTK positioning and control points minimize drift across large areas. We provide accuracy based on your deliverable requirements and project phase.
How is project data secured?
All project data can be securely processed and stored entirely on-premise to eliminate any mandatory cloud exposure. For clients preferring online collaboration, we use encrypted hosting with strict access controls via Autodesk Docs, ensuring data confidentiality throughout project workflows. You maintain full ownership and control over your sensitive information at all times.
What if I'm not sure what level of service my project needs?
Contact us with your project goals and phase. We'll recommend appropriate capture methodology, accuracy specifications, and deliverable types matching your actual requirements. Not every application demands precision down to the millimeter. Not every stakeholder navigates point clouds. We match services to needs.
How will this integrate with our BIM Execution Plan (BEP) / ISO 19650 / client standards?
We adapt to your BEP and deliver models in the formats your team uses (Revit, IFC, Navisworks) and follow your naming conventions, version control and collaboration protocols.
