Our Technology

3D laser scanning, powered by Leica precision.

Caldas Works uses professional Leica scanners to capture detailed point clouds, HDR field imagery, and reliable digital representations of existing spaces.

Interior capture

Leica BLK360

A compact Leica scanner for fast interior reality capture. It lets the team document tight rooms, furnished spaces, visible MEP conditions, and architectural dimensions without relying on manual field notes alone.

Use case
Rooms, corridors, furnished spaces
Capture
High-density point clouds and HDR imagery

Large-site documentation

Leica RTC360

A high-performance scanner for larger or more complex sites. RTC360 data supports structural, architectural, and MEP documentation with fast scan registration and reliable point-cloud coverage.

Use case
Large homes, commercial sites, complex geometry
Capture
Up to 2 million points per second
Workflow
VIS-assisted scan registration on site

Capture standard

What the technology supports across every field visit.

Visible architectural, structural, and MEP measurements captured from the same field visit.

Point clouds become clean DWG, PDF, Revit, and scan archive deliverables.

Professional Leica capture reduces return visits and measurement guesswork.

    FAQ

    Common
    questions

    Don't see your question here? Call us at (786) 355-3585.

    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.

    Why do I need an existing conditions survey?

    Many buildings have been modified over time and the available drawings no longer accurately represent the property. An existing conditions survey documents the building as it exists today.

    Do you only survey the area being remodeled?

    While some projects focus on specific areas, many professionals prefer documentation of the entire property to better understand how the remodeled area relates to the rest of the building.

    What file formats do you provide?

    Typical deliverables include DWG, PDF and JPG files. Point cloud files and Revit models are available upon request.

    Do you provide Revit models?

    Yes. Revit models are available as an additional service.

    Do you provide interior elevations?

    Yes. Interior elevations can be included as part of our Premium Package or as part of a custom scope of work.

    How long does a project take?

    Most residential projects are completed within 1–3 business days. Commercial projects typically require 3–5 business days, depending on scope and complexity.

    What areas do you serve?

    We primarily serve Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, and travel throughout Florida for larger projects.
