Surveying & 3D Scanning in Palo Alto
Palo Alto residential projects live and die by the numbers: floor-area limits, daylight-plane envelopes, setbacks, and lot-coverage calculations all depend on precise boundary and topographic data. On lots where land value dominates, a small boundary error can cost real square footage — so owners, architects, and builders here tend to want the most defensible survey available, not the cheapest one.
Palo Alto's Eichler and mid-century homes, plus a deep stock of early-1900s houses in Old Palo Alto and Professorville, make 3D laser scanning especially valuable for remodels and basement additions. We deliver millimeter-accurate point clouds, 2D as-builts, and Revit-ready models so design teams can verify every dimension of the existing structure before drawing the new one.
