A Better Way to Show the Full Picture In real estate, first impressions matter. Using LiDAR for real estate listings helps buyers and sellers get a clearer view from the start. But photos alone don’t tell the whole story. Buyers want to understand how a home flows. Sellers want listings that stand out. And realtors…
The Challenge of Jobsite Safety Construction sites are unpredictable. They shift daily with equipment, people, and material in constant motion. In this environment, safety becomes a moving target. But with LiDAR, you gain the ability to see, plan, and react faster than ever. What LiDAR Does Differently LiDAR scanning captures millions of precise data points…
It wasn’t planned. I was in Owatonna, Minnesota on vacation with my family, eating truffles inside a 100-year-old chocolate shop. The floor was a classic 1×1 white hex tile with delicate black flower inlays—the kind of flooring that knows its history. But it wasn’t the shop that stole my attention. It was the view out…

LiDAR Scan of Historical Preservation Site
Background The Mile High Vineyard Church in Arvada, Colorado, recently began an exciting project: renovating their new building at 6245 Garrison Street. This property, with its 34,000 square feet spread across three levels and a historic belltower, held a lot of potential—but also some big challenges. The biggest hurdle? They didn’t have any verified architectural…

Nestled in Denver’s Highlands District, the Ochiltree Block building at 2935 Zuni stands as a monument to 19th-century architectural craftsmanship. Its rounded corner design, arched windows, and red brick façade have been a defining part of the neighborhood’s identity since 1892. However, decades of use and exposure to the elements left the building in need…
LiDAR 3D Scanning Historical Building Renovations Renovating a historical building into modern apartments poses unique challenges. These projects blend the preservation of cultural heritage with the demands of modern design. Over time, buildings develop structural deformities due to settling, wear, and unplanned modifications, often concealed beneath their charming facades. Architects, engineers, and developers now rely…
