3D Laser Scanning · Chicago
Millimeter-accurate 3D laser scanning and scan-to-BIM services for architects, contractors, and facility managers across Chicagoland.
The LSC Standard
Every project moves through the same disciplined chain: capture the site, register the cloud, model the conditions, and deliver files the team can use.
FARO scanning records the built environment before design or construction decisions are made.
Scan positions are aligned, checked, and cleaned into one defensible spatial record.
Architectural, structural, and MEP geometry is built around the project’s real constraints.
Revit, CAD, PDF drawings, and point clouds arrive organized for action.
Reality Intelligence
Laser Scan Chicago turns existing conditions into verified project intelligence: field capture, registered point clouds, coordinated models, and drawings your team can trust when the building is too complex for assumptions.
Professional-grade FARO scanning captures industrial MEP, historic detail, commercial interiors, facades, and hard-to-measure existing conditions.
Registered point clouds are cleaned, checked, and interpreted by the same team responsible for the model, reducing handoff loss and ambiguity.
Revit, AutoCAD, IFC, PDF drawings, and point clouds arrive organized around the design, construction, or facilities workflow your team actually uses.
Deliverables That Hold Up
Clean, aligned, and ready for verification, modeling, or coordination.
LOD 200–400 Revit models built from verified existing conditions.
Plans, sections, elevations, and RCPs based on measured field data.
Chicago building knowledge, fast mobilization, and scope clarity from kickoff.
What We Do
From a single room to an entire campus: we deliver the data your project needs, in the format your workflow demands.
High-density point cloud capture of any space or structure. We use FARO Focus scanners to collect billions of precise measurements in hours: not weeks.
We convert point cloud data into intelligent Revit models: LOD 200 through LOD 400: ready for design, renovation, or historic preservation. Delivered in your preferred format.
Floor plans, elevations, sections, and reflected ceiling plans, measured from actual field data, not assumptions. The most accurate as-builts available for Chicago's existing building stock.
How It Works
Our team mobilizes to your site with professional-grade FARO Focus scanners. A typical commercial floor takes 2–4 hours. We handle access coordination, safety compliance, and scan registration on-site.
Back in our Chicago studio, raw scans are registered, cleaned, and verified against our ±2mm accuracy standard. We then model or draft from the verified point cloud: no guesswork, no assumptions.
You receive clean, coordinated files: Revit models, CAD drawings, or point clouds in the format of your choice, on time and on budget for most projects. Larger jobs scoped on project kickoff.
Who We Serve
Existing conditions documentation that's actually accurate. Start renovation design from verified as-built data instead of guesswork.
Clash detection before walls go up. Verify as-installed conditions mid-project. Resolve disputes with documented reality: not memory.
A living digital twin of your building. Space planning, capital improvements, and tenant fit-outs: all from one accurate baseline model.
Permanent digital archives of irreplaceable structures. Capture every ornamental detail, material condition, and spatial relationship before any intervention begins.
Selected Work
From Frank Lloyd Wright landmarks to active industrial facilities, every project delivered at the same standard.
Historic Preservation · Hyde Park
Complete as-built Revit model of Frank Lloyd Wright's UNESCO World Heritage landmark. Every cantilever, every art-glass window, every structural condition: documented to ±2mm.
Industrial · Greater Chicago
Multi-story manufacturing plant. Full MEP and structural BIM delivered in under two weeks.
Commercial · Cinespace Chicago
Aerial point cloud capture of one of Chicago's largest film production campuses. Complete existing conditions for expansion planning.
Preservation · Chicago Landmark

Why Laser Scan Chicago
Every deliverable meets a published accuracy standard. Not "typical" but guaranteed, on every project, backed by our QA process.
We don't fly in from another city. Our team knows Chicago's building stock, its contractors, and its project timelines. We mobilize fast.
We capture the data and build the model. No handoff to a third-party BIM team, no lost context, no accuracy dilution. One team, full accountability.
500+ completed projects across architectural, industrial, and historic building types. Experience that shows up in the quality of every scan.
Start With Certainty
Tell us about your building and we'll turn around a quote within 24 hours. No commitment, no pressure: just an accurate scope and a fair price.
