For architects & designers · Reality capture — Montana

As-built documentation in the formats you already spec.

Reality-capture point clouds delivered as E57 or RCP, with DWG floor plans and RVT 2025 Scan-to-BIM available as upgrades — plus energy-code and envelope analysis to support your documents. Evaluate. Understand. Document.

You've seen the other version of this: a capture that arrives in a format your software fights, geometry that drifts when you overlay it, accuracy claims that evaporate in coordination. Documentation is only worth what you can design from — so the formats are standard, the registration is checkable, and the accuracy is stated exactly.

The deliverable is data you can build documents on.

Scanning & deliverables

One base deliverable. Two upgrades.

Priced and scoped as tiers, so you spec the level of documentation the project needs.

Base deliverable

Registered point cloud

E57 · RCP

A registered point cloud of existing conditions, delivered in the format your pipeline ingests — plus a navigable 3D walkthrough for the whole team.

Every project starts here. Captured with the Leica BLK360.

Upgrade

2D floor plans

DWG

Measured floor plans drawn from the registered cloud — existing-conditions drawings ready for your title block and your consultants.

Added to the base deliverable, not a substitute for it.

Upgrade

Scan-to-BIM

RVT 2025

An as-built Revit model built from the cloud — existing conditions you can design against directly, with the cloud retained as the ground truth.

Added to the base deliverable, not a substitute for it.

Accuracy, stated honestly

The number you can hold us to.

~¼″6 mm at 10 m point accuracy

Documentation-grade for as-builts and Scan-to-BIM. That's the instrument's real performance — stated exactly, because you're going to coordinate against it. If a project needs tighter tolerances than that, we'll say so up front instead of letting you find out in clash detection.

Code & envelope analysis

Analysis that supports your documents.

Beyond geometry: instrumented building-science analysis you can fold into the design record.

01

Energy-code compliance analysis

IRC/IECC and Montana amendments — the 4 ACH50 maximum, whole-house ventilation sizing, and what a tested result means for the design.

02

Building-envelope findings

Blower door testing and diagnostic imaging of the existing envelope — documented findings on air leakage and assembly performance that can inform renovation and retrofit documents.

Smart controls at the design stage

Specified from the measured record.

For teams designing performance-driven spaces: Lutron lighting and shading, Flair zoning, and Brilliant whole-home control panels, specified during design from the same measured record your documentation comes from — so the controls answer the building as it is, not catalog defaults.

Send the project. Get a scope in your format.

Tell us the building, the deliverable tier you need, and the software downstream — you'll get a documentation scope with formats and registration approach stated up front.
