Project Overview
ADS completed a comprehensive existing conditions survey for the 291,798-square-foot Pointe-aux-Trembles Secondary School in Quebec using advanced 3D laser scanning technology. The project delivered accurate as-built documentation to support renovation planning, design coordination, and facility upgrades. The resulting digital records provided architects and engineers with reliable building information, reducing field verification while improving project efficiency throughout the planning phase.
Deliverables
High-accuracy existing conditions point cloud generated through terrestrial laser scanning, providing reliable spatial data for architectural, engineering, and renovation workflows.
Georeferenced orthophotos supporting site evaluation, planning, and project coordination.
LOD 300 BIM model and coordinated 2D CAD as-built drawings, delivering dependable documentation for design development and construction planning.
Matterport virtual walkthrough enabling project teams to review existing building conditions remotely and improve collaboration throughout the renovation process.
Our Role & Technology
A comprehensive 3D laser scanning and drone survey captured the school's interior and exterior existing conditions with high accuracy. Through a Scan-to-BIM workflow, the collected data was transformed into coordinated as-built documentation, providing architects, engineers, and facility managers with reliable information for renovation planning and project coordination.

Key Challenges & Solutions
Large educational facility: A structured scanning strategy captured nearly 292,000 sq. ft. while maintaining consistent accuracy across classrooms, corridors, common areas, and exterior spaces.
Active school environment: Survey activities were carefully coordinated to minimize interruptions, allowing documentation to proceed efficiently while daily operations continued.
Reliable renovation data: Integrated point clouds, BIM models, CAD drawings, and virtual walkthroughs provided a single source of accurate existing conditions for architects and project stakeholders.
