Site Documentation for Renovations: What You Need Before You Start

Before a renovation starts, you need an accurate floor plan, photo documentation of existing conditions, and room data for material calculations. LiDAR scanning with iPhone Pro or iPad Pro captures all three in a single on-site visit — in under 30 minutes for a standard apartment.

How Electricians Create Base Plans for Electrical Layout

Electricians need an accurate base plan before laying out circuits, outlets, and cable routes. LiDAR scanning with iPhone Pro or iPad Pro produces a DXF floor plan in 10 to 20 minutes — ready to open in DDS-CAD, Ziemer SCC, RED CAD, and other MEP planning software.

How Energy Consultants Document Buildings Before an Audit

Energy consultants need accurate floor plans, room volumes, and wall areas before conducting an energy audit. LiDAR scanning with iPhone Pro or iPad Pro produces all required building data in 10 to 20 minutes per apartment and exports directly to Excel and PDF — the formats used by energy assessment software.

What you learn from this cluster

These articles teach you: Professional building documentation requires accurate floor plans as a foundation. Energy consultants, electricians, and renovation planners all need the same base data — just in different formats. LiDAR scanning produces this data faster and more accurately than manual measurement. Metaroom exports directly to the formats each profession needs.
