KME Architects Laser Scanning

Building Verification and Laser Scanning for the Architectural, Engineering and Construction Field.

KME Architects’ Laser Scanning specializes in 3D laser scanning for the design and construction field. We use the latest scanner technology capable of incredible efficiency and accuracy. Our staff is well experienced in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction field and we bring a knowledge of the built environment that adds to the level of detail and accuracy captured in our scans. Our experience, knowledge and commitment combined with our use of the latest in scanning and software technology give KME Architects’ Laser Scanning the ability to provide our clients with the highest level of service they can expect.
Designs and constructions need to be precise for buildings to be successful. You need accurate scanning and measurements for that, which aren’t easy to get through old-school tools and equipment. KME Architects’ Laser Scanning, have the latest 3D laser scanning tools that help designers and architects get accurate measurements and a exemplary point cloud images of the existing conditions.

What Are 3D Scanners Used For?

These laser scanners are used for a number of purposes in Las Vegas. They provide a large amount of detailed information for the interior and exterior of buildings, which can be used for everything from planning and designing to construction. Here are some of the more common uses of 3D scanners:
  • Scanning Architectural, Engineering, and Construction Field in Las Vegas
  • Developing 3D BIM (Building Information Modeling)
  • Land Surveying
  • Facility Information
  • Forensics
Clients can just contact us and speak with our experts to determine if the scanners can help them with their requirements.

Why Choose Us And Our 3D Laser Scanning Technology in Las Vegas?

Accuracy is one of the most important factors to consider when scanning construction elements and buildings because getting measurements wrong can have a big impact on the project. You need the latest equipment and skilled technicians to get the best results and we will provide just that. We’re considered one of the best and most reliable 3D laser scanning companies in Las Vegas. Here are some things that make us stand out:

Quick scans

Our advanced 3D scanners are very quick and can easily record several million data points in a minute and upload the information to the cloud. This reduces the scanning time and cost by a considerable margin and causes the least amount of disruption at the construction site. This method is much faster than traditional measuring systems and techniques, which has a positive impact on your bottom line.

Extensive scanning

Our laser scanners can work in darkness and as well as under bright Las Vegas sunlight. The scanner captures detailed data from all exposed areas within its range to provide the maximum amount of information. This also helps reduce the time taken to scan the location, which has a positive impact on the project.

Data can be reused

The scan data is quite accurate and unless the location has undergone significant changes, the information can be reused without any need for scanning again. This reduces the cost of the project and allows clients to get to work without any delays.

Accuracy

Collecting millions of data points allows the system to perform calculations and determine averages from a large data sample. This means the average measurement is much more accurate, which can help with the design and construction process. The system can accurately determine the shape, size, and location of any object or structure on the scanned site with accuracy within 2 to 4mm.

Scanning from a distance

All of our 3D scanners have a long range and can easily scan areas from a safe distance. This comes in handy for high-risk sites like roadways, construction grounds, etc. These scanners can get information from ground level and be placed at a safe location away from the scanned sight. This also reduces the overall disruption.

3D BIM Models

BIM (Building Information Mdeling) is more sophisticated and detailed compared to regular 3D modeling, though it does rely on the information provided by 3D laser scanners. This model gives designers, architects, and other professionals a more precise idea about a building’s design, structure, and characteristics.

We don’t just provide scanning equipment in Las Vegas, but also great technicians to operate the scanners. This ensures our clients get the most accurate information regarding the site.

Design Services

KME Architects approaches each project through a structured and systematic process designed to ensure a seamless transition from design through construction. The project will advance through carefully planned design and construction phases, with defined milestones that support timely project delivery.

Design Development Documents

During the Design Development phase, significant emphasis is placed on refining the building envelope, structural systems, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) infrastructure. Building plans, elevations, cores, and other key elements will be refined and coordinated.

Specialty consultants including acoustical, lighting, sustainability, and other technical experts work closely with the design team to integrate their disciplines into a cohesive design solution.

The KME team provides ongoing cost verification, value analysis, and constructability reviews to ensure that design decisions remain aligned with project goals, budget expectations, and operational requirements.

Quality Control During Design Development

Maintaining a high level of collaboration and communication among all team members is critical during Design Development. Frequent design reviews and the distribution of work-in-progress drawings help identify and resolve potential conflicts before they become issues.

This coordination process helps pinpoint areas of concern before conflicts arise. Associate team members will utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) to further refine this process. This approach promotes ownership of design solutions by all team members and provides a method for tracking design rationale.

A key part of the design team will be a dedicated Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Director for the duration of the project. This individual will be a senior, highly experienced project architect with the expertise and leadership necessary to comprehensively and meticulously address all issues. Ensuring that the QA/QC Director reviews all drawings and actively participates in the decision-making process will contribute significantly to the successful completion of the project.

Construction Documents

The Design Development package will undergo a comprehensive review and life-cycle analysis to ensure long-term operational performance, maintainability, and cost-effectiveness.

Contract documents will be developed by augmenting the approved Design Development drawings with additional detail and coordination. Full system sheets will be developed, construction packages determined, and constructability issues resolved.

Deliverables

  • All architectural, interior design, engineering, and specialty consultant drawings developed by the project team in accordance with milestone schedules.
  • Complete drawing packages assembled for review at the 30%, 65%, 95%, and 100% Design Development milestones, as well as the 100% Construction Documents milestone.
