The Right Scanner
for Every Job.

Not every project needs the same tool. Depending on your building's size, layout, and required accuracy, we deploy one — or a combination — of three professional-grade Leica LiDAR scanners, matched to what the job actually demands.

Leica BLK360 Gen2

Precision & Portability

Our go-to scanner for residential and small-to-mid commercial projects. Compact and tripod-mounted, it captures a full 360° scan in under 20 seconds per position at ±4mm accuracy — ideal for detailed interior documentation, as-built floor plans, and BCIN permit surveys.

Leica RTC360

Speed & Survey-Grade Range

Our highest-accuracy scanner, built for large commercial, industrial, and structural projects. It captures up to 2 million points per second at accuracy as tight as 1.9mm at 10m, with automated field registration — the right tool when a project demands precision across large or complex spaces.

Leica BLK2GO

Walk-and-Scan Mobility

A handheld, walk-and-scan LiDAR scanner for fast coverage of large or hard-to-access buildings. With no tripod required, our team can capture a multi-floor building or complex layout in a single continuous walkthrough — trading a small amount of precision for dramatically faster coverage on bigger sites.

We hired SmartScanz to do a full scan of the office in order to complete a renovation project. They were able to provide us with as-built drawings to provide to our contractor. As this was my first project, Attila was very helpful and explained exactly what was needed. Thank you Attila and your team!

Frequently Asked
Questions

We scan with the Leica BLK360 Gen2, rated to ±4mm accuracy at 10 metres. That's survey-grade precision — not consumer hardware, not Matterport. For larger or multi-storey projects, accuracy across combined scans depends on registration and control points, which we account for during planning so your deliverable meets the tolerance your project actually needs.
We scan with a fleet of three professional Leica LiDAR scanners — the BLK360 Gen2, RTC360, and BLK2GO — and select one or a combination based on your project's size, layout, and required accuracy. Compact interiors, large commercial buildings, and complex multi-room layouts each call for a different tool, so we match the scanner (or scanners) to the job rather than using a single instrument for everything.
It depends on the deliverable. Point clouds are delivered in open formats (E57, RCP, LAS) viewable in free tools like Autodesk ReCap or Leica Cyclone. Floor plans and elevations come as DWG or PDF. Scan-to-BIM models are delivered as native Revit (RVT) or IFC files your architect or engineer can open directly — no proprietary viewer required on your end.
Most residential and small commercial projects are captured in a single site visit — usually one day. Larger or multi-level buildings may need more time, which we'll scope with you up front. Either way, our goal is one mobilization: every surface, room, and facade captured in that visit, so there's no return trip for missed dimensions.
We're based in Kitchener-Waterloo and serve KW, Cambridge, Guelph, Hamilton, Burlington, and the surrounding GTA. Being local means faster mobilization and no big-city travel premiums compared to Toronto-based providers.
An as-built floor plan is a 2D drawing (DWG, PDF, or DXF) showing accurate dimensions of your existing space — ideal for renovations, permits, and quick reference. A Scan-to-BIM model goes further: it's a fully coordinated 3D Revit model with architectural, structural, and/or MEP elements built to your required Level of Detail (LOD 200–400), used for design coordination, clash detection, and facility management.
Typical turnaround is 5–10 business days from the site visit, depending on project size and deliverable complexity. We'll confirm a specific timeline as part of your itemized quote — no guessing.
Yes — we rent the same Leica BLK360 Gen2 we use on every project, complete with tripod, iPad, and Cyclone Field 360 software. Local pickup in Kitchener-Waterloo is free, with delivery available. See our Equipment Rental page for details.
Your data is yours. We deliver final files via secure cloud link and retain a backup copy in case you need it re-delivered down the road. We don't share client data or project details publicly without permission.
Both. We're a BCIN-registered designer offering Ontario Building Code–compliant permit drawing packages for additions, alterations, secondary suites, and accessory structures — backed by LiDAR-verified field measurements rather than tape-measure estimates. See our BCIN Designer page for more.
Every project is different — building size, number of levels, required deliverables, and turnaround all affect cost. Rather than a generic price list, we provide a free, itemized quote within 24 hours so you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before a single scan is taken.

LiDAR Technology

What is LiDAR Scanning — and Why Does It Matter?

LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging. It works by firing millions of laser pulses per second and measuring the time it takes for each pulse to return. The result is a point cloud — a hyper-accurate 3D map of any space or object, captured in minutes.

Scan-to-BIM Explained: From Point Cloud to Revit Model

Scan-to-BIM is the process of converting a LiDAR point cloud into a fully coordinated Building Information Model. Instead of measuring walls by hand, we scan the building in hours and deliver a Revit model ready for design, renovation, or facility management.

Data & Processing

What is a Point Cloud? The Foundation of Every Scan We Deliver

A point cloud is a collection of millions — sometimes billions — of individual data points in 3D space. Each point has an X, Y, and Z coordinate. Together they form a precise digital replica of a physical space that can be measured, sliced, and modeled with millimetre accuracy.
