LiDAR & Reality Capture Services
High-Resolution 3D Scanning That Shows Exactly What’s on Your Site, Above and Below the Surface
Serving Northeast Florida & Beyond
Integrated LiDAR, Scanning, & 3D Modeling
LiDAR & Reality Capture Services bring together airborne LiDAR, terrestrial scanning, photogrammetry, and 3D modeling to document existing site conditions from multiple angles. Airborne LiDAR is used to map large areas and capture terrain and elevation data, even in places that are difficult to access. Terrestrial scanning captures detailed measurements of structures and site features at ground level. Photogrammetry adds high-resolution imagery that can be measured and referenced. These datasets are then processed into 3D models that represent the site in a single coordinated system.
By integrating these technologies into a single workflow, we deliver a consistent and measurable dataset that connects overall site conditions with detailed structural information. The combined output supports engineering, planning, and construction workflows by providing reliable surface models, point clouds, and visual references that can be used across CAD, GIS, and BIM platforms. This approach gives project teams a clear understanding of both the site as a whole and the precise conditions within it without relying on separate or disconnected data sources.
What's Included
3D Reality Capture Data & Project Deliverables
Our LiDAR & Reality Capture Services combine airborne LiDAR, terrestrial scanning, photogrammetry, and 3D modeling to deliver a complete view of existing site conditions. Each method is used to capture different levels of detail, from large-scale terrain and elevation data to precise structural measurements and high-resolution imagery. The collected data is processed and aligned into a single coordinated dataset that can be used across planning, design, and construction workflows.

Applications & USe
Applications of Integrated Geospatial Data Collection
LiDAR & Reality Capture Services are used when projects require a complete and accurate understanding of existing site conditions across both large areas and detailed structures. By combining airborne LiDAR, terrestrial scanning, photogrammetry, and 3D modeling, this service supports everything from early-stage planning and feasibility studies to design coordination, construction verification, and asset management. The integrated datasets allow teams to work from a single, consistent reference that reflects both terrain-level conditions and precise structural detail.

The Value of Integrated Reality Capture Data
Site Understanding Through LiDAR, Scanning, Photogrammetry, and 3D Modeling
Integrated reality capture combines multiple geospatial technologies into a single workflow to produce a complete, spatially accurate representation of existing site conditions. Airborne LiDAR is used to capture large-scale terrain and elevation data, while terrestrial laser scanning provides high-density measurements of structural and ground-level features. Photogrammetry contributes georeferenced imagery and surface detail, and 3D modeling ties all datasets together into a unified coordinate system that can be used directly in CAD, GIS, and BIM environments.
- Reduce uncertainty by merging airborne LiDAR, terrestrial scan data, and photogrammetry into one georeferenced dataset that reflects true site conditions
- Improve accuracy in planning and design by linking high-resolution surface detail with broad-area elevation models in a consistent spatial framework
- Support coordination across disciplines using integrated 3D models and point clouds that align directly with engineering and construction software workflows
Common Questions
What to Expect From Your Project
We are fully licensed in Florida to perform all required surveying services. Florida Business License Number: LB8710. This ensures all LiDAR and reality capture deliverables meet professional surveying standards and can be used for engineering, design, and permitting workflows.
Airborne LiDAR is best suited for large or inaccessible sites where broad terrain coverage is needed quickly. It is commonly used for corridor mapping, drainage analysis, and vegetation-heavy areas where ground access is limited, providing reliable elevation data even under tree canopy.
Terrestrial LiDAR is used when detailed, ground-level accuracy is required for structures, utilities, or interior/exterior site features. It fills the gaps that airborne data cannot capture and is often combined with aerial datasets to create a complete, continuous site model.
Deliverables typically include classified point clouds, georeferenced orthomosaics, surface models, and 3D reconstructions. Files are provided in industry-standard formats compatible with CAD, GIS, and BIM platforms such as LAS, E57, and other project-specific exports upon request.
Photogrammetry captures high-resolution visual imagery and surface detail, making it useful for documentation and visualization. LiDAR provides precise elevation and spatial measurements, including ground data beneath vegetation. When combined, they produce both an accurate and visually rich representation of the site.
