THE BOTTOM LINE
A GPRS Project Manager 3D laser scanned 4,000 s.f. of existing retail space to provide 2D CAD drawings, a 3D virtual tour, a colorized point cloud, and a 3D BIM model to a client who was renovating a 30-year-old location.

PROJECT APPLICATION
A new tenant was leasing a 30-year-old retail location in Austin, Texas that had no existing conditions documentation. GPRS 3D Laser Scanning was hired to scan the property to capture accurate existing condition data and provide updated as-builts.
ASK
To accurately capture, map, and model an existing, older retail space for design & planning for a new tenant.
Task
Capturing 4,000 s.f. of Retail Space for New Tenant's Redesign
PROBLEM
- An Austin-based maker of cowboy boots and western wear was moving retail locations
- The previous tenant had occupied the location for more than 30 years
- The new tenant desired 2D floor plans and a 3D BIM model for a virtual walkthrough of the property
- The previous tenant still occupied the active storefront, so scanning had to be completed after hours to avoid business interruptions
Solution
- Utilizing a Leica P-Series laser scanner, the GPRS Project Manager completed 24 scans of the 4,000 s.f property in one evening
- Laser scanning captured measurements and virtual tour data to help the new tenant plan the store layout
- GPRS Mapping & Modeling Team provided the tenant with a colorized point cloud, architectural 2D floorplans, a 3D BIM model, and virtual tour of the property
Benefits
- 3D laser scanning is the fastest way to capture existing building conditions, documenting every detail into a digital map
- Measurements and point cloud data is accurate within 2-4mm to allow for accurate 2D and 3D as-builts
- 3D virtual walk throughs allow the tenant to view the site remotely to easily plan and implement floor layouts and merchandising
- While the renovations were initially designed in Rhino, the client planned to export Rhino models into Revit for further refinement and documentation
