Different buildings create different documentation needs. A manufacturing plant may need a 3D scan before a production change. An apartment community may need photography, Matterport, floor plans, and recurring roof documentation. A retail portfolio may need the same capture repeated across dozens of locations. This page helps you find the type of property closest to yours and the services that usually matter there.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We document a wide range of buildings, properties, sites, and structures, including manufacturing facilities, warehouses, apartments, retail properties, schools, healthcare facilities, offices, roofs, bridges, roads, stockpiles, municipal buildings, parking areas, aviation facilities, and more.
-
No. The capture method depends on the building and the project goal. Some projects need 3D laser scanning and as-builts, while others need thermal imaging, drone mapping, photography, Matterport, or a combination of services.
-
Yes. If your organization manages several types of facilities, we can coordinate the appropriate capture method at each property while keeping the project organized under one point of contact.
-
The list is meant to cover common commercial property types, not every possible structure. Send us the project details and we can tell you whether the building and requested deliverable fit our capabilities.
-
Building Capture is based in Michigan and can support projects beyond Michigan when the scope calls for it. Send the locations and project requirements so we can plan the right approach.
If it needs to be captured, start with the building.
