3D Capture & Virtual Tour Services Built for General Contractors

View As Built delivers professional 3D capture and virtual tour solutions tailored for general contractors, architects, property managers, and facility teams. As a result, teams gain fast, scan-accurate documentation they can actually use. Operating across Florida and the Tri-State area, the company focuses on delivering practical, build-ready data, not just visuals.


Precision You Can Build From

  • 20mm verified accuracy
  • 48–72 hour standard turnaround

In practice, this means project teams can rely on consistent, high-quality outputs. More importantly, they can make decisions faster without repeated site visits.


Why It Stands Out

Most 3D capture providers focus primarily on visuals. However, View As Built focuses on real job-site usability.

Each scan is:

  • Strategically positioned for complete spatial coverage
  • Delivered with measurement tools enabled
  • Structured for immediate team use

As a result, teams can:

  • Take measurements remotely
  • Review site conditions without revisits
  • Improve coordination across stakeholders

In other words, this is not just a walkthrough—it’s a working document.


What’s Included in Every Capture

Every project comes with a complete digital deliverable package. Specifically, clients receive:

  • Fully navigable immersive 3D walkthrough
  • High-resolution 360° capture of all key spaces
  • Auto-generated 2D floor plan (exportable)
  • Built-in measurement mode (point-to-point)
  • Dollhouse view for spatial clarity
  • Secure shareable links and embed options
  • Long-term hosted documentation archive

Additionally, teams can request:

  • Point cloud data
  • CAD exports for advanced workflows

Where It Adds Value on the Job

Renovation & Pre-Construction

Capture existing conditions before demolition. Therefore, teams can design and bid using accurate data instead of assumptions.

Progress Tracking & Milestones

Create a chronological visual record. As a result, teams can support dispute resolution, lender reporting, and remote oversight.

Stakeholder Communication

When site visits are not possible, immersive walkthroughs provide clarity. Compared to photos or video, they deliver a far better spatial understanding.

Facility Management & Closeout

Provide a long-term digital twin. Consequently, owners can manage maintenance, onboard vendors, and verify layouts efficiently.


Simple, Structured Workflow

  1. Schedule & Plan
    First, confirm access, scope, and priorities
  2. On-Site Capture
    Then, complete scanning in 2–6 hours for most sites
  3. Quality Assurance
    Next, verify alignment, coverage, and accuracy
  4. Delivery
    Finally, deliver the model within 48–72 hours

Accuracy That Matches Real-World Needs

The system delivers 20mm accuracy, which is ideal for planning and coordination. However, it is not survey-grade.

If higher precision is required, such as LOD 300+ BIM, additional services are available. For example, LiDAR scanning and scan-to-BIM workflows can be deployed.

Ultimately, this ensures clients always use the right tool for the job.


Industry Context

The adoption of solutions like this reflects a broader shift toward digital construction workflows. In particular, teams are relying more on real-time data and visualization tools.

Similarly, this trend aligns with cloud-based geospatial collaboration platforms, where centralized data improves coordination and decision-making across projects.
