What you get
There is no published ADS project in Waltham yet. The closest is the Warehouse Facility in Brookline, MA, a 51,542 sq ft building our crew scanned over Nov 11–25, 2024. Further afield we documented a 6,200 sq ft contemporary residence in Greenwich, CT (Jan 7–Feb 6, 2025) and a 2,500 sq ft office suite in Manhattan (Jul 24–30, 2024).
The deliverables do not change with the address. A technician scans the building with a Leica RTC360, Leica BLK2GO or Matterport Pro3, and the scans are registered into a single point cloud. From it we draft floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations and sections in AutoCAD and PDF. You can add a 360° digital twin to walk through in a browser, a Revit model at LOD 200–300 if your team works in BIM, MEP and structural elements where scoped, and BOMA/REBNY area calculations if you are leasing space. In an older masonry or mill building the point cloud records sloping floors, uneven column grids and out-of-square walls exactly as they stand, which is where plans drawn from tape measurements go wrong.
How a Waltham project runs: send us the address, approximate square footage and the deliverables you want, and we return an itemized quote. ADS has no crew based in Waltham, so travel appears as its own line. The scan is one visit while the building stays in use; drafting follows, and you review the set before final delivery.
Waltham FAQ
What does it cost?
Four things set the price: floor area, how much is in the space (an open warehouse floor is faster than a fitted-out lab), the deliverables you pick and travel. Point cloud plus 2D CAD is the base tier; a Revit model adds drafting time. The quote is itemized so you can drop what you do not need.
Is it worth bringing you in from out of town?
Usually, yes. Travel is one line on the quote and the scan is finished in one visit. Because the digital twin lets your consultants check conditions remotely, repeat trips are rare. Several buildings scanned on the same trip share the travel cost.
How accurate is it?
Every dimension comes from a point cloud captured by a Leica RTC360, Leica BLK2GO or Matterport Pro3 rather than from a tape. The CAD shows what the scanner measured, including walls that are not quite parallel and floors that are not quite level.
Does the building have to close?
No. The technician works around staff and tenants during normal hours, and after-hours scanning can be arranged for spaces that cannot be interrupted.
Will the drawings work for my permit?
Yes, as the existing-conditions base your architect or engineer submits. In Waltham, building permits are issued by the City of Waltham's building department; your design professional files the application and we make sure the existing conditions in it are right.
Who owns the files?
You do. CAD, PDF, Revit and the point cloud are delivered to you to share with any consultant.
