Project Highlights

3D Scan Prior to Relocation:‍ HosScans scanned the Scott-Barker House before its move, capturing both the architectural details and surrounding landscape elements in high fidelity.
Complete As-Built Site Plan: We generated a detailed as-built graphic site plan to guide future reassembly of the home’s orientation, yard layout, and auxiliary structures.The scan provided high-resolution spatial data of both the interior and exterior, ensuring every architectural detail was preserved digitally.
Preservation of Landscape Character: Our scan ensures that even natural features like trees, fences, and paths can be replicated in the new location, maintaining the historical integrity of the setting.
Disaster-Ready Restoration Data: If anything is lost or damaged during the move, our LiDAR documentation can serve as a reference point for accurate reconstruction.This documentation supported historically sensitive renovation efforts while minimizing physical disruption to the structure.

The Challenge

A prominent Dallas commercial real estate firm was in the final stages of acquiring a significant property but needed absolute certainty regarding the building's physical assets before closing the deal. Relying on outdated plans and county CAD records carried too much risk, so they engaged HosScans to perform a precise square footage analysis using advanced LiDAR technology. The objective was to validate the seller's representations and ensure the investment aligned with the actual physical space available.
