What is the pricing for a 3d Point Cloud or LiDAR Laser Scan compared to as builts without one?
The cost is marginally higher than a hand-measured project. The work proceeds much faster and accuracy is improved, but with the added cost of our team’s equipment maintenance and rental costs.
The cost of conducting 3D laser scans on a building varies depending on its size and complexity. Our company, Architecture Experience, is adept at quickly pricing laser scanning projects due to our extensive experience across various clients, industries, building types and project requirements. We collaborate closely with our clients to identify the necessary site data collection and deliverables.
Pricing Factors for a LiDAR Laser Scanning Project
A Project Manager evaluates the following factors to determine the scope and pricing of your 3D laser scanning project:
- Location
- Scope of work
- Square footage
- Site images
- Site plans
- Building or site complexity
- Building or site access and occupancy
- Required deliverables
- Level of detail (if CAD drawings or 3D modeling is necessary)
- Project timeline
- Special requirements such as night or weekend scanning
We Are a Trusted Partner for 3D Laser Scanning
We prioritize clarity in defining project scopes to ensure clients receive the expected outcomes and avoid unnecessary expenses. Our aim is to establish enduring partnerships by offering top-notch laser scanning services at reasonable rates. Trusted by engineers, architects, developers, and other professionals, Architecture Experience helps clients circumvent change orders, rework, and construction delays.
It’s Not Always About The Price
Quality should never be compromised for the sake of cost. While searching for the lowest bid might seem economical, it usually results in compromised deliverables and poorer quality control. It’s important to inquire about the equipment, personnel, and software used by a laser scanning service. A low-priced quote may indicate outdated equipment, lack of recent calibration, unqualified staff, use of unlicensed software, or subcontracted and uninsured crews onsite.
Architecture Experience maintains competitive pricing and upholds quality standards. With a dedicated focus on 3D laser scanning and modeling, backed by a rich portfolio and repeat clientele, we assure integrity, motivation for excellence, and professionalism in our services. Our team is respectful, knowledgeable, committed, and geared towards each project’s success.
Do I need a 3D Model for Every Project?
Regarding 3D modeling costs, a significant portion of the work is applied to the deliverables, so we managed them effectively to reduce client costs. We will determine the specific features required to complete the project, so that the extent of modeling required is minimized, resulting in the lowest overall cost.
Not every project necessitates a 3D model. Many deliverables can be derived directly from the point cloud data, including clash detection, floor flatness analysis, prefabrication, and as built architectural construction documents, and therefore avoiding the need for comprehensive modeling.
Fair and Honest Pricing
Our pricing policy emphasizes fairness and transparency. If a quote exceeds your budget, we’re open to discussion and can tailor projects to fit your financial constraints, schedule, and scope requirements. We can phase our measurements and also prioritize specific areas, and accommodate other specific needs without hidden fees or surprises in the billing process. Just ask us.
