Building Scanning & As-Built Documentation in Traverse City, MI
LiDAR scanning and as-built floor plans for construction and design professionals in Traverse City, Petoskey, Charlevoix, Suttons Bay, and across Northern Michigan.
LiDAR documentation for Traverse City area projects
Traverse City and Northern Michigan present a distinct mix of project types: resort and hospitality properties that need accurate documentation for renovations, historic downtown Front Street commercial buildings, winery and agricultural facilities in the Old Mission and Leelanau Peninsula areas, and residential properties ranging from modest cottages to high-end lakefront homes.
We travel from Grand Rapids to serve clients throughout the Northern Michigan region. Traverse City is farther from our base than our typical West Michigan service area, so we coordinate travel schedules in advance to keep logistics efficient and turnaround reasonable. Most projects still deliver completed plans within 1–2 days of the scan date.
We use a Matterport Pro3 scanner to capture complete building geometry in a single site visit — typically 1–2 hours on site. Our drafting team converts that scan data into Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit, or SketchUp deliverables ready for your design and construction workflow.
Why Northern Michigan contractors choose LiDAR
Many buildings in the Traverse City area — particularly downtown commercial properties and older resort structures — have conditions that don't match original drawings. Additions were built, finishes were layered, and structural elements were modified over decades without documentation updates. LiDAR captures what's actually there, not what a drawing from thirty years ago says should be there.
For resort and hospitality renovations, where tight scheduling and occupied-building constraints make multiple site visits impractical, capturing everything in one 1–2 hour scan visit is a real operational advantage.
