Renovating your home introduces structural and safety challenges that require verified as-built data.

Key Challenges

Limited outage windows

Tight tie-in tolerances

Unknown embedded conditions

Our Solutions

Utility locating and mapping on public and private property

GPR and EM technology for underground and overhead transmission

Reliable data for HDD, redesign avoidance, and conflict resolution

Key Challenges

  • Unknown utilities, embedded steel, and undocumented tie-ins can cause costly delays
  • They can also compromise load-bearing integrity
  • Inaccurate as-built conditions cause change orders and budget overruns
  • Rework from inaccurate documentation can tie up to 30% of construction costs

Our Solutions

New Build Luxury Homes & Additions

High-end residential projects demand precision from initial planning to final execution.

Key Challenges

  • Additions, pools, and complex MEP integrations introduce tight tolerances
  • Lack of verified subsurface data increases the risk of striking post tension cables, conduits, or embedded steel
  • Result: costly rework and schedule overruns

Our Solutions

  • Utility locating services to verify tie-ins for water, gas, and electrical service
  • Reality capture services to document exterior and interior 3D laser scans for design-intent models
  • CAD drawings and 3D BIM models for informed construction planning

Key Challenges

Limited outage windows

Tight tie-in tolerances

Unknown embedded conditions

Our Solutions

Mapping grounding grids, duct banks, and buried conductors

Laser scanning of switchyards, control buildings, and equipment clearances

Millimeter-accurate E57 point clouds and digital twins for design, outage planning, and expansions

Outdoor & Landscape Projects

Pools, patios, irrigation systems, and hardscape features add a lot of subsurface complexity to fine home properties. This includes water supply lines, electrical feeds for lighting and pumps, and gas lines for outdoor kitchens or heaters.

Key Challenges

  • Properties with pools/pool houses/garages with restrooms usually have more utilities
  • Increases strike risk during excavation
  • Excavating without precise mapping can cause high repair costs, delays, and potential liability

Our Solutions

Key Challenges

Limited outage windows

Tight tie-in tolerances

Unknown embedded conditions

What Our Clients Say

We have completed three home renovation projects, and every single one is a raving success in my eyes. Every project that I do now starts with a 3D laser scan from GPRS.
Bill Barba
Principal Architect, Barba Architectural Design
Pleasant, helpful, responsive and talented people providing a great product. Selling your work helps me help friends and clients see the opportunities inherent in the buildings they own or manage.
Oliver Bouchier
Owner, Payne/Bouchier
Having the scan data really saves us time during the construction documentation process and allows us to go back to the building without setting a foot in there. The accuracy of the scan and the information that it conveys makes coordination a breeze!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 3D Laser Scanning Important for Fine Home Projects?

Manual measurement methods are slow, labor intensive, and often inaccurate. 3D laser scanning adoption can help you reduce turnaround times, avoid costly delays, and satisfy your client. You can think of GPRS as an extension of your team, so you can devote your time to what you do best.

How Do As-Builts Benefit Homeowners?

Accurate as-builts give you a current, verified record of your home, both exterior and interior, and saves you time and money because architects, contractors, and stakeholders can plan with confidence, reduce maintenance costs, and avoid costly rework or surprises behind finishes.

How is 3D Laser Scanning Used for Historic Preservation?

3D laser scanning provides a non‑destructive, highly accurate record of a historic residence’s true geometry. This cutting-edge technology captures irregularities that hand measurements often miss, such as out‑of‑square rooms, curved beams, and settled floors so preservation teams can understand existing conditions.

What equipment will be utilized during the scanning process?

Data will be captured using top-tier Leica survey-grade equipment. Leica ScanStations, which can connect to survey control, provide 2-4mm accuracy and feature real-time dual-axis compensation for level scans. GPRS scan technicians undergo formal training from the manufacturer and hands-on instruction from experienced technicians. Our team is proficient with:
· Leica P50
· Leica P50
· Leica RTC360 3D Laser Scanner
· Matterport Pro3
