We serve the greater San Francisco Bay Area and surrounding cities, including Hayward, Fremont, Union City, and Newark.

James Adams Photography captures highly detailed, accurate 3D scans of existing spaces to support architectural, design, and construction projects. Our As-Built scanning services provide essential documentation that reflects the precise, current state of a project or space, offering comprehensive data for initial design, modeling, and planning.

High-Precision 3D Scanning with Matterport Pro 3 Camera

Our As-Built services utilize the Matterport Pro 3 camera, an industry-leading 3D scanning device with LIDAR technology. This powerful tool captures high-density, accurate point cloud data that forms the foundation of precise digital models. The Matterport Pro 3’s LIDAR capabilities allow us to scan spaces precisely, creating a virtual replica of the environment that can be easily converted into 2D plans or 3D models. Our scans are available in standard, medium, and high-density formats, tailored to meet your project's specific accuracy and detail requirements.

Seamless Integration with Autodesk Revit and Other Design Software

The point cloud data collected from our scans is fully compatible with Autodesk Revit and other leading design and construction software, streamlining the process of importing 3D data directly into your modeling workflows. This compatibility allows architects, engineers, and designers to develop accurate, dimensionally sound models without manual measurements, saving valuable time and resources. Our As-Built data is a reliable foundation for every project phase, from conceptual design to detailed architectural planning.

Flexible Scanning Density Options for Every Project Type

James Adams Photography offers a range of scanning density options to suit the needs of various projects. Our standard density scans are ideal for quick assessments or smaller spaces, while medium and high-density scans provide exceptional detail for larger or more intricate environments. The flexibility in density options allows us to cater our As-Built services to meet each client's specific resolution and accuracy levels, ensuring that the data provided aligns seamlessly with project needs and software requirements.

Ideal for Initial Design and Modeling of Interior and Exterior Spaces

Our As-Built scanning services are well-suited for interior and exterior documentation, making them versatile tools for all projects. From detailed floor plans and elevation models to complex exterior facades and outdoor spaces, our scans deliver the precise information needed to begin design and modeling with confidence. This comprehensive documentation captures all architectural elements, giving design teams an accurate and scalable reference that eliminates guesswork and reduces potential rework during construction.
