Outer Richmond, San Francisco, CA – 2,521 sq. ft. Home As-Built Survey & Revit Model

As-built survey and Revit model of a 2,521 sq. ft. two-story home in the Outer Richmond, San Francisco, CA. The client needed a full existing-conditions set covering floor plans, ceiling plans, elevations, and sections. The handover from GeoMaus was as-built documentation in Revit, CAD, and PDF, with a 3D tour and point cloud data.

THE CHALLENGE

As-Built Survey of a San Francisco Home Over a Garage

The client needed the house documented as it stands, with a complete existing-conditions set that a design team could work from directly. Here the living space sits above a street-level garage, so the drawings had to show how the two floors and the rear yard relate. Homes like this are a regular part of our luxury residential survey work.

The first floor holds the garage, an office, the entrance, storage, and the stair, with the main rooms above. A few areas could not be reached during the visit, and they are marked as inaccessible on the plans rather than guessed.

SCOPE OF WORK

Existing Conditions Survey of Every Accessible Room

The capture covered every accessible room: the garage, office, and entrance on the first floor, then the living room, dining room, kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, and closets on the second floor. Outside it took in the street front, the side walls, the rear deck stair, and the yard.

The client wanted a set any designer could pick up, whatever software they use. Floor plans and reflected ceiling plans for both floors let ceiling changes be planned alongside layout, and the elevations and sections were modeled to LOD 300 in Revit, then also issued as CAD drawings and PDF for consultants who do not work in Revit.

OUR APPROACH

Matterport Capture Inside and Around the House

GeoMaus recorded the house with Matterport capture, moving through the garage and first-floor rooms, up the stair to the second floor, and out to the rear deck and yard. The registered capture provided both the point cloud for modeling and a Matterport 3D tour the client can revisit at any time.

Because the living floor sits over a street-level garage, the relationship between the two levels was the detail most likely to matter in any future project. Modeling the house in Revit from that one point cloud kept the garage, the main rooms and the roof on a single datum, so a designer can plan a stair change or an added level knowing the true floor-to-floor height.

THE OUTCOME

Revit, CAD and PDF Files for the Design Team

Everything arrived together: PDF drawings, Revit and CAD files, the Matterport walkthrough, and raw point cloud data. The set reached the client within 7 days of the site visit. Both floors, the roof, and the rear yard come from one model.

With the house documented, the client and any designer it brings in can plan changes against measured walls, ceiling heights, and the garage level instead of old records. The reflected ceiling plans add the ceiling layout of each room to the record, and the CAD files let consultants who do not use Revit work from the same drawings.

Monkstown, Dublin – 83 m² Terraced House Measured Survey & Revit Model

Measured survey and Revit model of an 83 m² two-story terraced house in Monkstown, Dublin, on a rear garden that falls away from the house. A residential design firm needed the property drawn for an initial feasibility study. GeoMaus produced a scan-to-BIM Revit model, plans, elevations, a section, a tour, and raw scan data from 73 scan points.

Measured Survey in Terenure, Co. Dublin

A red-brick, bay-fronted terraced house in Terenure, Co. Dublin, of two storeys plus attic and approximately 1,836 sq ft (171 m²), needed a measured survey before its design team could start an initial feasibility study, with a potential tender package to follow. The client required a complete existing-building record as that first step.

Times Square NYC – 30,000 Sq. Ft. Office Floor Measured Survey

Full LiDAR capture and scan-to-BIM documentation of a vacant 30,000 sq. ft. office floor in a landmark Times Square building, delivered design-ready with no revisions.

Maplewood, NJ – 4,000 Sq Ft Residential Existing Conditions Survey & Revit Model

GeoMaus completed existing conditions documentation for a 4,000 sq. ft. Tudor-style residence in Maplewood, New Jersey. Using point cloud data and Matterport imagery, we developed an LOD 300 Revit model and architectural drawings to document the property for future design work.
