What you get
Chula Vista is inside the San Diego County area where three of our published projects sit. A 26,580 sq ft Commercial Building in San Diego was documented in August 2024. In April 2025 we scanned the 5,300 sq ft Commercial Facility at Thornmint Court in Rancho Bernardo with a Leica RTC360 and built an LOD 300 Revit model of its architecture and MEP, including conduits, lighting and equipment, delivered with registered E57 scans and an online 3D viewer; Kevin DeBoer of Michael Baker International described a "high-quality Revit model and excellent point cloud." The Solana Beach Shopping Mall, 146,404 sq ft, was captured in January 2025. We have not yet published a Chula Vista project.
Depending on scope you receive a registered 3D point cloud, a 360° digital twin, 2D CAD in AutoCAD and PDF (floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, sections), a Revit model at LOD 200–300, and MEP and structural elements where asked for. BOMA and REBNY area calculations are available on request.
How a Chula Vista project runs: send the address, approximate square footage and the deliverables you want, and we quote item by item. A technician scans in one visit with a Leica RTC360, BLK2GO or Matterport Pro3 while the building stays open. We register the scans, draft the drawings from the point cloud, and you review the set before final delivery.
Chula Vista FAQ
What does it cost?
Floor area, how much is in the space and which deliverables you need. Point cloud and CAD is the base tier; a Revit model with MEP, as at Thornmint Court, adds modelling time. Travel within San Diego County is minimal and shown separately.
Is it worth bringing you in from out of town?
We are not out of town for Chula Vista: three of our published projects are in San Diego County, so there is no long-distance premium.
How accurate is it?
Drawings are measured from the registered point cloud. At Thornmint Court that precision was enough to model dense conduit runs for an engineering firm.
Does the building have to close?
No. Offices, stores and warehouses stay in use; we schedule around your peak hours.
Will the drawings work for my permit?
Yes. Your architect or engineer submits them as the existing-conditions base to the City of Chula Vista Building Division at 276 Fourth Avenue. Note that a building permit there expires if work has not started within 180 days of issue. Applications on or after 1 January 2026 are reviewed under the 2025 California codes.
Who owns the files?
You do. CAD, PDF, Revit and the point cloud are delivered to you and your consultants.
