how we do it
Our technology combines a state-of-the-art Bluetooth laser measuring device, and a
hand held Fujitsu LT pen-tablet computer with our LTS Survey Software. Moving from
room to room, the laser measurements are downloaded directly into the computer,
enabling our field technicians to create preliminary CAD drawings on site, with little to
no interruption to the tenants.
e survey closure process confirms the accuracy, eliminating the need for return trips.
We can locate and record everything visible. Typical detail includes walls, doors, windows,
stairwells, elevators, plumbing fixtures and building millwork. Final drawings are
prepared in our CAD Center, using the AIA-NCS layering standard or custom layering
convention if required.
Deliverables include our bound Building Report with hard copy plans, electronic CAD
files and web ready graphic files on CD.
