Why Top Architects Outsource to Caldas Works
Since 2013, we have focused exclusively on one thing: documenting existing conditions.
Architects shouldn’t spend billable hours taking measurements under the heat. Our process integrates 3D laser scanning and drone photogrammetry to produce a highly accurate digital twin, capturing details often overlooked in manual surveys, including MEP locations.

3D Laser Scanning – Powered by Leica Technology
At Caldas Works, we rely on industry-leading Leica 3D laser scanners to deliver accurate architectural, structural, and MEP measurements. These high-precision tools allow us to capture detailed point clouds and create reliable digital representations of any space. By using professional-grade Leica equipment, we ensure every survey meets the highest standards of accuracy, consistency, and efficiency.
Leica BLK360 – Compact Precision for Interior & Small-Scale Projects
The Leica BLK360 is a lightweight, portable 3D laser scanner designed for fast and precise reality capture.
Ideal for interior spaces and small-scale architectural projects, it produces high-density point clouds and crisp HDR imagery within minutes.
Why We Use It
- Delivers accurate architectural and MEP dimensions.
- Fast data acquisition for quick site visits.
- Compact design allows scanning in tight or furnished spaces.
- Seamless integration with Leica Cyclone and Autodesk platforms.
- This scanner is perfect when agility and precision are essential.
Leica RTC360 – High-Performance Scanning for Large & Complex Sites
The Leica RTC360 is a powerful, professional-grade scanner built for speed, accuracy, and productivity on larger or more complex projects.
It captures up to 2 million points per second and uses VIS technology to automatically pre-register scans on site.
Why We Use It
- Highly accurate architectural, structural, and MEP dimension capture.
- Ultra-fast scanning for full-site documentation.
- HDR imagery for detailed and realistic digital twins.
- Ideal for construction verification, renovations, and large-scale surveys.
- This scanner ensures maximum detail and reliability when working on demanding field conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide drawings for permit submission?
No, this service is designed exclusively for Architects, Interior Designers, and General Contractors for internal design and coordination, not for permits, and not for city or county submissions.
Do you measure the area under A/C?
No. We measure the entire footprint per level, to the exterior walls. This often differs from the ‘area under A/C’ shown on real estate sites, which is not used for survey pricing
What is included in the standard package?
Includes: Floor Plan, Reflected Ceiling Plan (RCP), Roof Plan, Exterior Elevations, all visible MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) devices, visible structural elements, Site Plan (generated using drone photography), Still Photography of every room and all technical equipment tags, 360° Photography, and Drone Photography.
How quickly will I receive my drawings?
Our standard turnaround time is 1–3 days for residential projects and 3–5 days for commercial properties. Timelines may vary depending on the size and complexity of the space.
