Olympic Blvd Los Angeles
For this Los Angeles project, Pointknown combined PKNAIL workflows, terrestrial laser scanning, and targeted photographic documentation to capture the building accurately and efficiently. The result was a coordinated digital record and full Revit model that provided the project team with a dependable foundation for planning, renovation, and future design work.
Not just a model.
A dependable project baseline
For this commercial property on Olympic Boulevard in Los Angeles, Pointknown produced a coordinated existing-conditions package that gives the design team more than accurate geometry. The deliverables combined measured building documentation, BIM data, visual references, and organized project files into a single, dependable starting point for planning and design.
Urban renovation projects require a clear understanding of existing conditions before design begins. Building geometry, floor-to-floor relationships, structural features, façade conditions, and surrounding site context all influence project decisions. Our role is to capture that information accurately, organize it into usable deliverables, and provide a reliable foundation the entire project team can build from with confidence.
Every design decision starts with understanding the existing environment.
For this Olympic Boulevard property, documenting the building meant capturing more than interior dimensions. Existing site conditions, surrounding structures, access points, façade geometry, and the relationship between the building and its urban context all contribute to successful planning. A complete existing conditions package gives architects and consultants the confidence to begin design with accurate information instead of assumptions.
A complete documentation package from capture to handoff
Every deliverable was created to provide the project team with a dependable understanding of the existing building—transforming field measurements into organized documentation that could be used immediately for planning, design, and coordination.
Capture
Existing conditions were documented inside and out, recording building geometry, façade details, floor layouts, access points, and surrounding site context to establish an accurate foundation for the project.
Translate
The captured data was transformed into coordinated CAD drawings, Revit models, and supporting documentation that architects and consultants could integrate directly into their design workflow.
Share
All project files were organized into a complete handoff package, giving the client a single source of truth that simplified collaboration, reduced rework, and helped the team move confidently into the next phase.
Existing conditions documented for confident design decisions
From field documentation to coordinated models and technical drawings, every deliverable provides a dependable understanding of the building's existing conditions before renovation and design begin.
A dependable digital foundation
A coordinated existing conditions model provides an accurate representation of the building's geometry, spatial relationships, and overall layout, giving the project team a reliable starting point for renovation and design.
Exterior conditions captured with precision
Detailed elevation drawings document façade geometry, openings, and architectural features, creating a dependable reference for future planning and renovation.
Clear existing layouts
Measured floor plans establish room layouts, circulation, and building organization to support accurate design and coordination.
Every level documented
Existing conditions were documented consistently throughout the building, ensuring dependable information across every floor.
Visual clarity before design
Coordinated model views make it easier for architects and stakeholders to understand the building before design work begins.
A complete understanding of the property
Bringing field measurements together into a coordinated digital model gives the entire project team a comprehensive view of the building, improving communication and reducing uncertainty throughout the design process.
Accurate documentation creates better decisions long before design begins
Existing conditions documentation is most valuable when every member of the project team can rely on the same information. By transforming field data into coordinated digital deliverables, Pointknown provides a dependable foundation that supports planning, renovation, and future project coordination.
The best deliverables continue creating value after the site visit is over.
Once fieldwork is complete, the project team needs information they can trust. Coordinated models, drawings, and measured documentation reduce uncertainty, improve communication, and give architects a dependable starting point throughout the design process.
Everything the project team needs to move forward
Every deliverable is organized around a single goal: giving architects, consultants, and owners a dependable understanding of the existing building so design and coordination can begin with confidence instead of assumptions.
Revit Existing Conditions Model
A coordinated BIM model that provides an accurate digital foundation for renovation planning, design development, and multidisciplinary coordination.
Existing Floor Plans
Measured floor plans documenting layouts, circulation, and spatial relationships to support architectural planning and verification.
Building Elevations
Detailed elevation drawings capturing façade geometry, openings, and existing exterior conditions for accurate design reference.
Measured Documentation
Coordinated existing conditions documentation created from field measurements to provide a reliable record of the building.
Design-Ready Project Files
Organized digital deliverables that give the project team a single source of truth for planning, communication, and future design work.
Experience shows up in the handoff.
The best documentation teams do not simply collect data. They know what matters, what to ignore, what to model, what to share, and how to package it so the next team can work.
We scope for the decision ahead.
Each capture effort is shaped around what the client, architect, consultants, and builder need to understand next.
We know the deliverable ecosystem.
Revit, CAD, SketchUp, PDF, drone media, 360 photography, and shared file structures all play different roles.
We make complex properties easier to communicate.
The goal is not to show every piece of data. The goal is to make the right information accessible, clear, and usable.
If you are planning, renovating, leasing, or evaluating a building, clear existing conditions matter.
Pointknown helps design teams and property stakeholders move forward with confidence by turning existing buildings into usable, decision-ready information.
