GPRS 3D Laser Scans 30 Rockefeller Plaza to Support Lease Fit-Out Highlights THE BOTTOM LINE For the 54th floor at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, GPRS delivered CAD plans, a BIM model, and REBNY compliant measurements so the architecture and design firm can obtain precise measurement of rentable square footage, accelerate design planning, and execute a tenant buildout with confidence. Industry Commercial Office Service Reality Capture: 3D Laser Scanning, Photogrammetry, CAD, BIM, BOMA/REBNY Analysis Location New York, New York Deliverables Colorized point cloud, 2D CAD drawings, floor contours, 3D Revit model, BOMA/REBNY analysis, 3D virtual tour PROJECT APPLICATION Reality Capture Office Space for Lease Task An architecture and design firm required up-to-date existing conditions of 30 Rockefeller Plaza and comprehensive reality capture deliverables to customize and build out 33,000 sq. ft. on the 54th floor for a new global law firm tenant lease. PROBLEM Building management requires accurate, up-to-date documentation for all floor layouts. The architecture and design firm needed detailed as-built information to customize the layout, interior finishes, and MEP requirements to meet the new tenant’s high-end specifications. ‍ Solution A GPRS Project Manager captured the space using a commercial grade 3D laser scanner and photogrammetry, then delivered a complete reality capture package: Colorized point cloud 2D floor plans & reflected ceiling plans (RCPs) Floor contour deformation maps 3D Revit model REBNY compliant area analysis & BOMA calculations 3D virtual tour ‍ Benefits The firm received accurate 2D plans, a 3D BIM model, and a virtual tour to support renovations, layout adjustments, and system installations. Floor contour maps revealed the real “topography” of interior floor surfaces, delivering precise elevations for correct alignment. A color coded MEP model made it easy to differentiate systems, identify clashes before construction, and prevent costly change orders. The REBNY analysis ensured the space was measured according to New York City’s commercial real estate standards, giving the client accurate square footage for planning and leasing.
