Measured Building Surveys & 3D Laser Scanning for Boston

From downtown office buildings and commercial properties to hotels, restaurants, and retail spaces, Boston’s commercial buildings present a wide range of renovation and documentation challenges. GeoMaus provides as-built surveys, 3D laser scanning, measured building surveys, Scan-to-CAD, and Scan-to-BIM services for projects across Boston and Massachusetts.

Whether you’re planning a tenant improvement, renovating an older building, upgrading a commercial property, or documenting a complex interior, we capture existing conditions and turn them into practical drawings, Revit models, and 3D virtual tours.

The Problem

Renovating Boston Buildings Starts With Knowing What's There

In a city with office buildings, aging high-rises, and continuously changing commercial spaces, existing drawings can quickly become unreliable.

A new tenant may inherit an outdated floor plan. A hotel renovation may involve years of interior modifications. A restaurant or retail fit-out may need to accommodate existing structure and building services within a limited footprint.

GeoMaus captures your property as it exists today, providing architects, engineers, contractors, developers, facilities teams, and property managers with a verified existing-condition baseline before the next phase of work begins.

WHY BOSTON

Commercial Renovations in a City of Historic and Modern Buildings

Boston’s commercial property landscape includes high-rise offices, historic commercial buildings, hotels, restaurants, retail spaces, and institutional properties. Across Downtown, the Financial District, Back Bay, and the Seaport, projects often involve adapting existing buildings to meet changing requirements.

The city is supporting the conversion and reuse of older office buildings. Boston’s Office-to-Residential Conversion Program and updated downtown zoning reflect the growing role of building adaptation and redevelopment. These projects can require careful documentation of existing layouts, structure, and building systems.

From downtown office renovations to commercial tenant fit-outs, accurate floor plans and existing-condition drawings help architects and contractors plan new layouts around the building’s actual dimensions.

Hospitality and retail renovations often involve complex interiors, tight spaces, and operational constraints. Measured surveys and 3D virtual tours can help document existing spaces for redesign, refurbishment, and remote review.

WHAT WE DELIVER

Measured Building Surveys, CAD, BIM & Virtual Tours

We work on buildings 50,000 sqft and above including data centers,, offices, warehouses, distribution centres, and multi-site portfolios where accurate documentation is non-negotiable.

From a single commercial interior to a large building, we provide documentation suited to the project’s design, renovation, and operational requirements.

A working Revit model of your property as it exists today. Useful for warehouse expansions, industrial redevelopment, adaptive reuse, commercial renovations, MEP coordination, facility planning, asset management, and multi-site portfolios.

As-built Documentation

A complete record of your property's current physical conditions. Drawings and models your team can rely on for refurbishment, expansion, redevelopment, tenant improvements, compliance, asset management, and future capital projects.

MEP documentation - Geomaus Services

MEP documentation

Coordinated documentation of ductwork, piping, cable trays, electrical systems, refrigeration infrastructure, equipment, and other building services, captured where they actually exist rather than where outdated drawings suggest they should be.

HOW IT WORKS

From Site Survey to Project-Ready Documentation

On every project, you’ll work directly with Michael Kiernan, GeoMaus’s founder, from the first call through to delivery. No project coordinators, no handoffs, no relayed messages. When something changes onsite or a deadline shifts, you’re speaking to the person who can make the call that day.

Michael Kiernan | CEO, Founder | GeoMaus
Michael Kiernan - Founder of GeoMaus
No account managers, no handoffs. When you need a decision, you're talking to the person who can make it.
1
The First Call - Straight to Michael
You'll spend 30 minutes on a call with me, not a salesperson. We'll talk through your building, your timeline, and what you actually need at the end. If your project isn't a fit for us, I'll tell you on that call and point you somewhere better.
2
Onsite - Built Around Your Operations
We plan every scan day around how your building runs. Out of hours for retail and hospitality, around shift changes for warehouses, security-cleared teams for sensitive sites. You'll know exactly who's onsite, when, and what they're doing.
3
Processing & Verification
Once we leave site, your data is processed by one team and quality-checked by another. By the time anything reaches you, two people have signed off on it. You don't have to be the quality control.
4
Delivery - Exactly How You Ordered It
You'll receive your drawings and models in whatever format your design team, facilities manager, or asset manager already works in. Revit, AutoCAD, PDF & Matterport. Plus a project handover call so nothing gets lost in translation.
