Reality Capture
Capture Existing Conditions with Efficiency, Enhanced Accuracy and Reduced Costs
Transforming Complex Data into Clear Deliverables
Discrepancies between record drawings and actual site conditions can lead to change orders, delays, and safety risks. Nederveld provides Reality Capture services using 3D laser scanning, LiDAR scanning, and photogrammetry to document existing conditions with speed and precision.
Common Deliverables
- Point clouds (registered, usable for downstream CAD/BIM workflows)
- As-built documentation / existing conditions documentation
- As-built drawings (when applicable)
- 2D CAD drawings
- 3D BIM models
- Scan to BIM outputs
- Scan to Revit outputs
Use Cases
- Existing-conditions validation before design
- Renovation and retrofit planning
- Construction coordination and progress comparison
When would you need Reality Capture services?
Reality Capture documents existing conditions using technologies like 3D laser scanning, LiDAR, photogrammetry, and UAV/drone mapping. By combining survey control with proven field workflows, Nederveld turns real-world conditions into deliverables your team can use for design, coordination, and decision-making.
DOCUMENTING EXISTING CONDITIONS
Reality Capture provides accurate, high-resolution data of current building conditions. It's ideal for renovations, engineering plans, architectural drawings, facility mapping, and historic preservation. Terrestrial scanners and UAVs equipped with LiDAR or photogrammetry tools help reduce field time and improve design accuracy.
SUPPORTING NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Capture and track construction progress from pre-site grading through final inspection. Reality Capture improves coordination, reduces rework, and documents site changes with consistent, reliable visuals that support team communication and quality control efforts.
CREATING ACCURATE DIGITAL MODELS
Through streamlined Scan to BIM workflows, Reality Capture converts real-world environments into intelligent 3D models. These models integrate directly into design and planning processes, helping teams make more informed decisions during early-phase design and retrofit planning.
MEASURING MATERIALS & SITE FEATURES
A fast and reliable option, Reality Capture is ideal for measuring materials like metal panels and stockpiles with precision and minimal disruption. By leveraging drone-mounted scanners UAV and 3D laser documentation, teams get precise measurements without disrupting operations.
