Virtual Tours and Measured Floor Plans for AEC Teams

We capture the building with an iGUIDE camera that pairs 360° photos with LiDAR. You get a 3D tour your whole team can open in a browser, a measured floor plan and point-to-point measurements, so fewer people need to drive to the site to check a dimension.

Why a measured tour

One site visit instead of five

On renovation, tenant fit-out and facility work, someone always needs to go back for one more dimension or one more photo. A measured tour keeps the whole building on file. Your architect, engineer, estimator and owner can walk it, measure it and drop notes on it from their own desks.

The iGUIDE camera records LiDAR distances with every 360° photo, so measurements in the tour come from the scan, not from a picture. The floor plan comes from the same capture, and CAD drafting is available when you need it in your drawing set.

Measured, within limits. Typical accuracy is about ±10 mm from camera to wall. That's right for planning, space programming and estimating, but it isn't a survey or a laser-scan point cloud. For measured existing conditions tied to your surveyor's control, see Scan-to-BIM.

Built for AEC, not listings. We capture back-of-house, mechanical rooms, ceilings and unfinished space, not just the rooms that photograph well.

Inside and out. Pair the tour with aerial photos and video of the roof and site from the same visit, so nobody needs a second trip for the exterior.

Who uses it

One capture, three kinds of team

Architects & designers

Existing-conditions tours and floor plans before schematic design on renovation, adaptive reuse and tenant fit-out. Measure ceiling heights, openings and clearances without another site visit, share the tour with consultants and review boards, and reuse it for the finished-project portfolio.

Contractors & construction managers

Walkthroughs at key stages: before the walls close, at MEP rough-in and at substantial completion. Remote owners and lenders see real progress, change orders get a dated visual record, and closeout gets a tour of what's behind the drywall.

Owners & facility managers

A measured record of every room, mechanical space and roof access point for space planning, insurance, maintenance contracts and the next renovation. New vendors can see the building before they bid, without an escort.

How it works

From walkthrough to shared link

  1. Scope

    Floors, rooms and areas in scope, any restricted spaces, and what you need at the end: a tour, a floor plan, CAD files or all three. For programs, we agree the capture points and visit schedule.

  2. Capture

    We work through the building room by room with lights on and doors open. Add a drone flight for the roof and site on the same visit.

  3. Process and share

    The tour, floor plan and measurements are published to a private link, and CAD drafting follows when ordered. We send the link, the files and a short walkthrough of how to measure and add notes.

What you get

A tour, a plan and the files your team works in

  • 3D virtual tour. A private, embeddable web link for remote walkthroughs, notes and stakeholder review.
  • In-tour measurements. Point-to-point, in the browser, without a site visit.
  • Floor plan. PDF and image with room dimensions and areas, for space planning, estimating and facility records.
  • CAD and Revit (add-ons). DWG floor plans with LiDAR points as DXF, elevations, roof and reflected ceiling plans, and a massing-level Revit or DWG model.
  • Aerial exterior (add-on). Edited photos and a short video of the roof, site and context.
Pricing

Questions

Frequently asked

How accurate are the measurements?

The iGUIDE camera's LiDAR is typically within about 10 mm from camera to wall. That's accurate enough for space planning, estimating and design starts. It isn't a survey: for measured existing conditions tied to your surveyor's control, or a full point cloud, see our Scan-to-BIM service.

Is this the same as a real estate tour?

It uses similar technology, but we capture for design and construction: mechanical rooms, ceilings, back-of-house and unfinished space, with capture points planned so the floor plan and measurements hold together.

Can you capture an active construction site?

Yes, once the space is enclosed and lit. The camera runs between 41°F and 104°F and can't get wet, so winter shells need temporary heat on capture day.

Who can see the tour?

Only people you share the link with, and you can share it with as many people as you like.

Can we get CAD or Revit files?

Yes. CAD floor plans, elevations, reflected ceiling plans and a Revit or DWG model are available as add-ons, drafted from the same capture.

How large a building can you do?

Any size, floor by floor. Pricing scales with floor area, and we quote multi-building campuses as a program.
