What you get
ADS has not yet scanned a building in Gaithersburg. The nearest project we have published is the Baltimore Rowhouse on Pratt Street, a 5,069 sq ft residence documented Jan 10–13, 2025, followed by a 2,500 sq ft office suite in Manhattan (Jul 24–30, 2024) and a 1,500 sq ft nail salon on Maiden Lane in Manhattan (Oct 29–Nov 8, 2024).
The deliverables start with a registered 3D point cloud, captured with a Leica RTC360, Leica BLK2GO or Matterport Pro3. From it we draft floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations and sections in AutoCAD and PDF. Where the scope calls for it we add a 360° digital twin for browser walk-throughs, a Revit model at LOD 200–300, MEP and structural elements such as exposed ductwork, beams and electrical runs, and BOMA/REBNY area calculations for lease plans. For a lab or office suite with a dense ceiling plenum, the point cloud records the duct, pipe and structure positions so your engineer is not guessing at clearances.
How a Gaithersburg project runs: send the address, approximate square footage and the deliverables you want, and we return an itemized quote. With no ADS crew based in Gaithersburg, travel is a separate line. Scanning takes one visit while the building stays open; we then register the scans, draft the set, and send it to you for review before final delivery.
Gaithersburg FAQ
What does it cost?
Four inputs: floor area, how much is in the space (exposed MEP and millwork take longer than an empty shell), the deliverables you choose and travel. Point cloud plus 2D CAD is the base tier; Revit adds drafting time. The quote is itemized.
Is it worth bringing you in from out of town?
Usually, yes. Travel is one line, the scan is one visit, and the digital twin lets your consultants check conditions without another trip. Scanning several buildings on the same trip spreads the travel cost.
How accurate is it?
The drawings are produced from a point cloud captured with a Leica RTC360, Leica BLK2GO or Matterport Pro3, so every dimension is measured rather than assumed. Ceiling heights, column positions and wall thicknesses are recorded as found.
Does the building have to close?
No. Offices, labs and shops stay open while the technician works; after-hours scanning is available for spaces that cannot be interrupted.
Will the drawings work for my permit?
Yes, as the existing-conditions base your architect or engineer submits. Gaithersburg issues its own building permits through the Permits & Inspections Division of the City's Planning & Code Administration, 31 South Summit Avenue, with applications accepted online. Your design professional files; we make sure the existing conditions in the set are right.
Who owns the files?
You do. CAD, PDF, Revit and the point cloud are delivered to you and your consultants.

- Baltimore Rowhouse on Pratt Street
Baltimore, MD · 5,069 sq ft · 2025
Stacked levels in this narrow East Baltimore rowhouse were cross-checked so the geometry stayed continuous from basement to roof. Varying ceiling heights and roof slopes were modeled directly from the point cloud. - Office Suite in Manhattan
New York, NY · 2,500 sq ft · 2024
High ceilings layered with infrastructure needed advanced scanning methods in this 2,500 sq ft office unit. The LOD 300 Revit model was structured for renovation and facility management, alongside 2D CAD floor plans, RCPs, elevations, sections and schedules. - Russian Nails Salon, Maiden Lane
Manhattan, NY · 1,500 sq ft · 2024
For a luxury beauty brand's salon on Maiden Lane, ADS ran a scan-to-BIM workflow covering architecture, structure and MEP, and built a Revit model including utilities, stairs and lighting.
