What you get
The closest ADS project to Escondido is the Thornmint Court facility in Rancho Bernardo, documented in April 2025. The 5,300 sq ft industrial space was heading into a renovation with system upgrades, so the scan had to capture a dense MEP network: we delivered registered LiDAR scans in E57, a floor plan in AutoCAD and Revit, an online 3D viewer and an LOD 300 Revit model that combines the architecture with the conduits, lighting and equipment. Kevin DeBoer, project manager at Michael Baker International, called it a "High-quality Revit model and excellent point cloud." We also scanned a 26,580 sq ft commercial building in San Diego (2024) and the 146,404 sq ft Solana Beach Shopping Mall (2025).
What an Escondido job can include: a registered 3D point cloud; a 360° digital twin for remote walkthroughs; 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 when scoped. BOMA or REBNY area calculations are available on request.
How an Escondido project runs: you send the address, approximate square footage and the deliverables; we send an itemized quote with travel as its own line. On scan day a technician works through the building with a Leica RTC360, BLK2GO or Matterport Pro3 while it stays open. We register the scans into one point cloud, draft from it, and you review the set before final delivery.
Escondido FAQ
What does it cost?
Floor area, complexity, deliverables and travel. An industrial space with a dense MEP network, like Thornmint Court, costs more to model than an empty retail shell because there is more to draw. Point cloud and 2D CAD is the base; Revit adds time. Every quote is itemized.
Is it worth bringing you in from out of town?
We do not have an Escondido crew; travel is listed on its own line. Rancho Bernardo, where we scanned in 2025, is the neighbouring community, so the trip is one we have made.
How accurate is it?
Measurements come from Leica RTC360 and BLK2GO scanners or a Matterport Pro3 and the drawings are drafted from the point cloud. At Thornmint Court the LiDAR was millimetric, which is what made the conduit and equipment modeling reliable.
Does the building have to close?
No. One technician works through the building around staff and operations; after-hours scanning can be arranged.
Will the drawings work for my permit?
Yes, as the existing-conditions base your design professional submits. Escondido's Building Division at 201 North Broadway accepts plans only in electronic format and allows roughly 30 calendar days per plan-review cycle, so having the existing conditions right the first time saves a round. Applications filed on or after January 1, 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.
