How Elite CAD Captured Twin City Plaza with Speed & Millimeter Precision

Introduction:

Elite CAD was commissioned to perform a comprehensive Reality Capture and Existing Conditions 3D Model of Twin City Plaza, a 55,000 sq ft commercial property. Our team executed it with precise digital documentation of the property, which included parking areas, MEP rooms, and the Roof—utilizing cutting-edge technologies to deliver accurate as-built models within a three-day timeframe.

Project Scope:

Our team mobilized rapidly, deploying advanced capture technologies and executing parallel workflows to meet the client’s compressed schedule without compromising accuracy.

Services Provided:

• Aerial Surveying: High-resolution drone Imaging and Laser Scanning offered a complete overhead view and measurement of site layout and access zones.

• Laser Scanning: High-density Laser Scanning of the interior, exterior, and MEP spaces with millimeter precision, generating an engineering-grade point cloud dataset.

• 360° Virtual Tours: Matterport walkthroughs gave remote stakeholders an immersive, navigable view of all commercial units and mechanical areas.

• LOD 300 Revit Modeling: Created precise 3D models reflecting architectural and structural components, supporting future renovation and design planning.

• LOD 400 MEP Revit Modeling: Created precise 3D models reflecting mechanical systems and equipment, supporting future renovation and design planning.

• 2D Floor Plans & Inventory: Delivered 2D Plans, Reflected Ceiling Plans, Parking Plan, and Topographic Diagrams of each interior space along with a comprehensive equipment inventory of rooftop HVAC equipment, loading docks, and interior MEP systems and equipment.

Key Challenge: Accelerated Timeline

Four day turnaround time

• Immediate Mobilization: Elite dispatched experienced field crews within 24 hours.

• Optimized Data: Data capture, processing, modeling, and QA ran concurrently across departments.

• Technology Stack: Integrated aerial LiDAR, terrestrial LiDAR, and 3D Photography for full site fidelity.

Result Delivered

• Interactive 3D virtual walkthroughs of the entire property

• LOD 300 Revit models for architectural and structural reference.

• LOD 400 MEP Revit models for mechanical systems engineering.

• Engineering-grade point cloud data set for future integration.

• 2D & 3D As-built digital assets completed on time, aligned with client renovation goals.

All deliverables were completed on schedule, providing the client with valuable digital assets for future planning and renovations.

Conclusion

Twin City Plaza exemplifies Elite CAD's capability to deliver high-percision documentation under a demanding schedule. Our integrated approach combines aerial, scanning, and modeling to ensure completion. This engagement reinforces our position as leaders in reality capture.
