6.4B Measurements On Las Olas

Most recently a Fort Lauderdale, Florida nightclub with some funky wall art, this original 1928 residential building will be renovated as a restaurant.

Our architect client's CAD files are based on 3D laser scanned measurements impossible to get by hand (like the 37'/11.2m high apex of that pyramid skylight at the end).

With all 16,000 sqft measured at ±3mm accuracy, the interior designer and his team can develop concepts, approve, estimate, specify and permit without ever "double checking" measurements. All subs get the same set of master measurements which helps eliminate mistakes.

Saving Trees With 3D Laser Scans

We literally helped save trees with 3D laser scanning.

Our real estate developer client wants to design a residence on a tight lot without disturbing these old oak trees. His existing survey shows where the trunks meet the ground but not the height, twists, curves and horizontal reach of the branches. Our scans gave him all of the above with millions of measurements.

First, to have a real estate developer care about trees is just a beautiful thought. Second, since we've never used our scanners for such a noble purpose, we were on a mission to help save trees.

Designing a home in 3D enables consideration for odd shapes of nature as well as the visual prediction of future growth, avoiding clashes years down the road.

Yacht Master Suite Laser Scans

We laser scanned the master suite of a 116' Azimut megayacht at a boatyard in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Now, the multi-national interior team is working with one master set of measurements. in both metric and imperial formats.

Scanning was complete in a few hours and final docs were sent less than a week later. Every slope and curve is represented with ±3mm accuracy in these as-built materials:

• Floor plan

• Ceiling plan

• Interior sections/elevations

• 3D Revit/Sketchup/IFC model

• 3D Point cloud data

Here's a short video showing some of what we delivered:

The 35m Azimut with odd angles, curved walls and tight spaces all work against a designer's job of maximizing living space. Electric, plumbing and engineering challenges can now be solved on a computer, prior to install. Doing this all in advance helps satisfy a client who expects to have it all done quickly, without mistakes.

Once the interior designer has redesigned using the 3d Revit file, the owner can "tour" the space using 3d googles. This type of approval leaves little surprise later on while streamlining the process.
