SALT ISLAND ROAD · GLOUCESTER

Salt Island Road Gloucester

Pointknown was engaged to document an existing inn and motel property along Salt Island Road in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The project required comprehensive existing-conditions documentation across multiple occupied spaces, with accurate digital deliverables to support renovation planning, operational improvements, and future design coordination.

Use Case
Renovation & Planning
Measured once. Delivered ready for design.
What was documented
Our team captured the full property using a combination of SLAM-based mobile laser scanning, terrestrial measurements, drone photogrammetry, and 360° visual documentation. Interior guest areas, circulation spaces, exterior façades, roof geometry, and surrounding site conditions were all integrated into a single coordinated dataset.
What was delivered
Pointknown delivered a complete Revit existing-conditions model, exported 3D DWG files optimized for SketchUp workflows, and coordinated 2D CAD views for architectural planning and consultant use. The final dataset provides a reliable digital foundation for future renovation, space planning, and property management initiatives.
Why it matters
Hospitality properties often require work to be completed while spaces remain active and occupied. Accurate reality capture minimizes disruption while giving owners, architects, and contractors dependable information for planning upgrades, renovations, and operational improvements without repeated site visits.
PROCESS

Coordinate and schedule survey work across multiple tenants and stakeholders to minimize disruption during active operations. Capture the entire property using multiple SLAM-based laser scans, then register the datasets into a unified multi-source point cloud covering the full building and site. Supplement the capture with 360° photography, video documentation, drone imagery, and control measurements to ensure accuracy across all areas. Process and align the combined terrestrial and aerial datasets in Autodesk ReCap, then utilize the registered data to develop a comprehensive existing-conditions Revit model.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

A complete existing conditions package, from reality capture to usable deliverables.

This project combined multiple reality-capture technologies into one unified workflow, allowing the inn and motel property to be documented quickly and accurately despite operational and logistical complexities. By integrating LiDAR, drone data, and immersive visual documentation, Pointknown created a scalable digital record that supports both immediate planning needs and future project phases.
