View Industry PageSector Experience Across Five Environments
On-Site Measurements supports teams across architecture, engineering, construction, facility, and industrial environments. Each sector involves distinct access conditions, deliverable requirements, and documentation goals.
Existing-condition documentation and as-built review for renovation and design planning
Use a real project photo: as-built review session, point cloud to drawing workflow, or design team using existing-condition documentation.
MEP spatial context and point-cloud reference inputs for engineering coordination and retrofit planning
Use a real project photo: mechanical room scan, equipment-area capture, or CAD/BIM reference input.
Site documentation and progress records for renovation and construction teams
Use a real project photo: drone progress capture, field verification scene, or pre-construction documentation.
Building records and maintenance references for facility operations and capital planning
Use a real project photo: equipment room documentation, virtual walkthrough, or updated building records.
Plant and warehouse documentation for industrial and manufacturing facility teams
Use a real project photo: equipment layout scan, mechanical room capture, or retrofit planning reference.
How Services Map to Buyer Types
On-Site Measurements offers six reality capture and documentation services. Not every service applies equally to every buyer type. The table below shows which industries most commonly use each service. Full details are on each service page.

| As-Built Drawings | Architecture & Design, Engineering Firms, Construction Contractors, Facility Management |
| Scan to BIM | Architecture & Design, Engineering Firms, Construction Contractors, Facility Management |
| CAD Drafting | Architecture & Design, Engineering Firms, Facility Management, Industrial & Manufacturing |
| Drone Services | Construction Contractors, Facility Management, Industrial & Manufacturing |
| 3D Virtual Tours | Facility Management, Architecture & Design, Construction Contractors |
Common Reasons Teams Request Documentation
Buyers do not always start with a specific service in mind — they start with a project problem. These are the situations that most commonly lead to a documentation engagement.
Renovation Planning
Documenting existing conditions before design begins — floor plans, ceiling heights, structural references, and MEP context.
Missing Drawings
When record drawings do not exist or have not been updated, field capture provides a reliable measured starting point.
Existing-Condition Documentation
Comprehensive capture of a building or site in its current state — useful across design, engineering, construction, and operations.
Field Verification
On-site measurement to confirm or resolve discrepancies between record drawings and actual conditions.
Trade and Design Coordination
A shared field-verified reference that supports coordination between disciplines, contractors, and project stakeholders.
Facility Records
Building documentation for long-term operations — maintenance planning, capital improvement support, and remote team access.
Retrofit Planning
Documenting existing equipment, systems, and spatial conditions before an industrial or mechanical retrofit begins.
Site Documentation
Pre-construction, progress, or post-work records for construction projects — interior, exterior, and aerial where needed.
What On-Site Measurements Delivers
Deliverable format and scope are confirmed per project. Common outputs across all industries and service types are listed below.
| Deliverable | Format and Use |
|---|---|
| Point Clouds | LAS, LAZ, E57, RCP — for use in CAD, BIM, and 3D review software |
| CAD Drawings | DWG, PDF — floor plans, sections, elevations, and measured plans |
| Revit / BIM Models | RVT, IFC — LOD and discipline scope confirmed per project |
| Floor Plans | 2D dimensioned plans of existing or as-built conditions |
| Sections and Elevations | Cut through building conditions for design and engineering reference |
| Drone Imagery | Aerial photography, orthomosaic, and progress documentation |
| Photo Documentation | Systematic photographic records of existing conditions |
| 3D Virtual Tours | Hosted, browser-viewable walkthroughs of captured spaces |

What Information Helps Scope a Quote
Sharing project details upfront helps On-Site Measurements return a clear scope more quickly. You do not need every answer before reaching out.
What to send before requesting a quote
- Site address or project location
- Building type and approximate area
- Floors or specific areas to document
- Required deliverable format (DWG, PDF, RVT, IFC, point cloud, tour link)
- Software platform if BIM or CAD output is needed
- Access constraints or security protocols
- Project deadline or schedule
- Existing drawings if available
Start with the page that best describes your role or team. If you are involved in design or renovation planning, the Architecture and Design page covers the most relevant context. If you are managing an existing building, the Facility Management page is a good starting point. If you are preparing for site work, the Construction Contractors page describes common documentation scenarios. You can also contact On-Site Measurements directly and describe your project — we can help point you toward the right services.
Deliverables vary by service and project scope. Common outputs include registered point clouds (LAS, LAZ, E57), 2D floor plans and as-built drawings (DWG, PDF), Revit and IFC models for BIM-based workflows, CAD drafting packages, aerial imagery from drone documentation, and hosted 3D virtual tours. The deliverable format is confirmed during scoping.
No. You can describe your project, the documentation problem you are trying to solve, and the deliverable your team needs — and On-Site Measurements can help identify the right service. If you are not sure whether you need as-built drawings, a Scan to BIM model, or a point cloud, the Services section of this website can help, and the scoping conversation will clarify the right approach.
Helpful information includes the site address, the type of building or facility, the approximate size and number of floors or areas to document, the required deliverable format, any existing drawings, your software platform if relevant, access or security constraints, and your project deadline. You do not need every answer before reaching out — a general project description is enough to start.
On-Site Measurements supports projects of varying scales — from single-floor tenant improvements to multi-storey commercial buildings and large industrial facilities. The engagement is scoped to the confirmed deliverable regardless of project size. If you have a smaller project, describe the scope and we can advise whether a full engagement makes sense.
The service pages describe what On-Site Measurements does — the specific services, deliverables, and workflows for 3D laser scanning, as-built drawings, Scan to BIM, CAD drafting, drone documentation, and virtual tours. The industry pages explain how those services apply to different buyer groups — architects, engineers, contractors, facility teams, and industrial operators. If you know which service you need, start with the service pages. If you are still working out which service fits your project, the industry pages can help you understand what is typically relevant for your team.
