Future Renovation, Planning & Design Coordination
Measured once. Delivered ready for design.
What was documented
Pointknown captured the entire property using a combination of mobile SLAM laser scanning, drone photogrammetry, and 360° visual documentation. Interior and exterior building geometry, landscape elements, retaining walls, circulation paths, and surrounding site features were all recorded to create a unified and measurable dataset.
What was delivered
The project deliverables included a detailed Revit existing-conditions model generated from registered point cloud data. The coordinated dataset also supported the export of additional views and models for use across multiple design and visualization platforms.
Why it matters
For large residential and estate properties, accurate existing-conditions data reduces uncertainty during renovation and planning. By capturing both the buildings and surrounding landscape in detail, Pointknown helps architects, engineers, and property owners make informed decisions while reducing repeat field visits and improving coordination across project teams.
