Use Case
Renovation & Planning
Measured once. Delivered ready for design.
What was documented
Pointknown documented the complete interior and exterior geometry of the townhouse, including roof conditions and immediate site context, along with detailed visual references through 360 imagery and walkthrough capture—providing both precise measurements and spatial context.
What was delivered
The project was delivered as a unified dataset including LiDAR-based geometry, drone-derived roof and site data, immersive 360 media, and HDRI environments prepared for visualization workflows—supporting modeling, coordination, and rendering from a single source of truth.
Why it matters
Historic urban properties often contain irregular geometry and layered conditions that can lead to costly errors if not captured accurately. A coordinated digital baseline allows teams to reduce uncertainty, move faster in design, and avoid repeated site visits.
