3D Scanning & Reality Capture Services
Our 3D laser scanning services provide highly accurate as-built documentation for industrial and commercial projects. Using advanced LiDAR technology, we capture millions of data points in just minutes to create detailed point clouds and 3D models. These models can be seamlessly integrated into CAD and BIM workflows, giving designers, engineers, and contractors a precise digital foundation for their work.
Unlike traditional measuring methods that are time-consuming and prone to error, 3D scanning ensures accuracy down to the millimeter. This allows stakeholders to identify potential clashes, validate dimensions, and plan with confidence before construction begins. Whether you’re expanding a facility, planning a renovation, or documenting existing conditions, IGI delivers the clarity and precision needed to move forward efficiently and safely.
Understanding the Process
Accurate documentation is the foundation of any successful project. Traditional measuring methods are time-consuming, prone to error, and often fail to capture the full complexity of existing conditions. At IGI, our 3D laser scanning and reality capture services use LiDAR technology to record millions of data points in minutes, producing precise point clouds and as-built models.
The process begins with an on-site scan of your facility, equipment, or structure. Our scanners capture every surface detail, from walls and piping to machinery and structural beams. This data is then processed into 3D models that integrate seamlessly with CAD and BIM platforms, giving engineers, contractors, and stakeholders an exact digital representation of existing conditions. By working from these highly accurate models, projects move forward with reduced risk of clashes, errors, and costly rework.
Applications

-
Demolition and renovation planning – Document as-is conditions for sequencing and safety planning.
-
Historic preservation – Create detailed 3D records of structures before restoration or modification.
-
Residential remodels – Provide contractors with accurate as-built conditions to avoid measurement disputes.
The Benefits of 3D Scanning
3D scanning offers accuracy and efficiency that manual measurements cannot match. With IGI, clients gain:
-
Precise digital models that eliminate guesswork and reduce rework.
-
Faster project planning, saving weeks compared to traditional documentation.
-
Improved collaboration by providing stakeholders with shareable, interactive 3D data.
-
Enhanced safety by reducing the need for repeated on-site measurements in hazardous environments.
-
A permanent digital record that can be revisited for future upgrades or maintenance.
Why IGI?
