What you get
ADS documents Gardena buildings with a LiDAR scan and turns the data into drawings your design team can work from. Order what you need: a registered 3D point cloud, a 360° digital twin viewable in a browser, 2D CAD in AutoCAD and PDF (floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, sections), a Revit model at LOD 200–300, and MEP or structural elements when they are in scope. BOMA or REBNY area calculations are available on request.
We have not yet published a Gardena project. The closest is on the Palos Verdes Peninsula: 4,700 sq ft of multi-tenant suites on Silver Spur Road in Rolling Hills, scanned in November 2024. In Los Angeles we documented the 3,117 sq ft second floor of a historic building on Olvera Street (2026), drawing its non-orthogonal walls and uneven floors directly from the point cloud, and a 1,000 sq ft entryway and hall in Sherman Oaks (2025). Further down the coast are a 26,580 sq ft commercial building in San Diego (2024) and the 146,404 sq ft Solana Beach Shopping Mall (2025).
How a Gardena project runs: you send the address, approximate square footage and the deliverables you want; we return an itemized quote with travel as its own line. A technician scans the building while it stays open, usually in hours for a shop, warehouse or office floor. The scans are registered into a single point cloud, the drawings are drafted from it, and you review the set before final delivery.
Gardena FAQ
What does it cost?
Four things set the price: floor area, how complex the interior is, which deliverables you order and travel. Point cloud plus 2D CAD is the base tier; Revit adds drafting time. The quote is itemized so you can drop any line.
Is it worth bringing you in from out of town?
Usually, yes. Gardena is a short drive from our other Los Angeles County work, travel is a single line on the quote, and the scan takes hours. The drafting, which is most of the cost, is the same wherever the building stands.
How accurate is it?
Dimensions come from the point cloud captured with Leica RTC360 and BLK2GO scanners or a Matterport Pro3, not from a tape. Walls that are out of square are drawn out of square.
Does the building have to close?
No. We work around staff, tenants and customers, and after-hours scanning can be arranged for busy floors.
Will the drawings work for my permit?
Yes. Your architect or engineer submits them as the existing-conditions base to the City of Gardena Building & Safety Division at 1700 West 162nd Street, which issues building permits and accepts applications by email. 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 go to you and your consultants.

- Multi-Tenant Suites, Silver Spur Road
Rolling Hills Estates, CA · 4,700 sq ft · 2024
A layout balancing accessibility and privacy defined this 4,700 sq ft suite property, documented as a base for renovation and technical coordination. ADS handed over AutoCAD and PDF drawings, a point cloud, a 360° digital twin and annotated site photos. - Sepulveda - Level 2 Historic Documentation
Los Angeles, CA · 3,117 sq ft · 2026
Rather than idealize this historic floor, ADS modeled its non-orthogonal walls, uneven floors and ceilings, moldings and openings straight from the point cloud. Low light and dismantled areas required adjusted scan settings. - Sherman Oaks Entryway & Hall Survey
Sherman Oaks, CA · 1,000 sq ft · 2025
Secondary entrances and hallways were the focus of this survey of a split-level hillside home known for its mid-century and contemporary design. ADS used a Matterport Pro3 to give the renovation team detailed dimensional data for architectural decisions. - Commercial Building in San Diego
San Diego, CA · 26,580 sq ft · 2024
A three-story mixed-use building in the Gaslamp Quarter with a boutique hotel and ground-floor retail, surveyed for redevelopment. ADS delivered a point cloud, drone roof imagery and orthophotos, an LOD 300 Revit model, CAD drawings and a Matterport walkthrough. - Solana Beach Shopping Mall
Solana Beach, CA · 146,404 sq ft · 2025
