Top Building Measurement Services Companies

Renovations, leasing and facility planning all start with accurate dimensions of the building as it stands, which rarely match the original drawings. Building measurement services capture existing conditions with laser scanners, total stations or handheld tools, and deliver point clouds, measured floor plans, elevations, as-built drawings and BIM models.

When comparing firms here, match the deliverable to its use: a leasing plan needs area calculations to a stated standard, while a renovation design needs a Revit model at an agreed level of detail. Ask for samples in that format.

Buyer's guide

Hiring Building Measurement Services companies

What the work covers, how to judge a partner and what drives the price.

What building measurement firms deliver

Most projects start with a site capture. Terrestrial laser scanners record millions of points per room, which are registered into one point cloud. Technicians then draft floor plans, sections, elevations and reflected ceiling plans, or model the building in Revit or ArchiCAD.

Other deliverables include area reports calculated to BOMA or IPMS standards for leasing, MEP capture above ceilings, facade surveys and 360 imagery for remote walkthroughs. Architects, engineers, general contractors and property owners are the usual clients, often for one building or a portfolio.

Question not covered? Ask our team

Building measurement services capture existing building dimensions and deliver point clouds, floor plans, elevations, as-built drawings, area reports or BIM models. Architects, contractors and owners use them before design or leasing.

Building measurement is usually priced by floor area, with separate rates for scanning, drafting and BIM. Building complexity, detail level, accuracy, access and travel drive the price.

Laser scanning records millions of points quickly and captures hard-to-reach areas, producing a point cloud that can be reused later. Tape or laser distance meter measurement is cheaper for small spaces but slower and less complete.

Scan to BIM is the process of turning a laser-scanned point cloud into a 3D building model in software such as Revit. The model is built to an agreed level of detail so designers can work from existing conditions.

Timing depends on building size, access and the deliverable. Site capture is often quick, while drafting and BIM modeling take longer, especially when MEP systems or high detail are required.
