As Built 3D Models
CAD, Revit, Point Clouds, Renders and VR Tours
We create high-precision, photorealistic models of as built spaces for some of the most demanding clients in the world. This is an example of an architectural revit model created from scratch for an award-winning international architecture firm. We can image any location in the world with industry leading precision and turnaround times.
State-of-The-Art Laser Scan Accuracy
Laser Scanning
We use the highest quality equipment available from Leica to achieve best-in-class AEC grade accuracy scans that are suitable for Scan-to-BIM Applications. This video shows an example of a ~65,000 SF site where we achieved 3/16" global accuracy.
Photogrammetry
We are experts in photogrammetry as well as LiDAR, and we can help you select the best data acquisition method for your project. In this video we show some of the stages of photogrammetry model development from photo alignment and sparse point cloud to dense point cloud production to meshing, ditigal elevation models, etc.
Revit / CAD Deliverables from Scratch
Technical Deliverables
Our deliverables meet the highest standards of accuracy in the AEC industry. Global accuracy on the site where this scanner was operating was 3/16 of an inch over 70,000 SF of scan area. We can scan anything anywhere, from the ground or sky, using photogrammetry and/or LiDAR as necessary. We can deliver in any point cloud format (PTS, XYZ, LAZ, LAS, E57), and/or any architectural format (Revit, CAD, etc).
Site Plans
We use aerial lidar to capture dimensional detail through dense foliage, rugged terrain, and in dark shadowed areas that are more difficult than with photogrammetry. We can join together these site plans with interior architectural models to create comprehensive 3D models in Revit. Many modelling agencies will only model buildings, not land, but we believe joining the land and buildings is critical for the client experience.

Fast Response Team
10 Day Turnaround Scan to BIM
This job was completed start to finish in 10 days. We started by scanning a vacant restaurant space, developing that into a cleaned, registered point cloud with 1/4" accuracy, and processed that into as-built drawings with floorplans, elevations, sections, and all visible structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing detail.
Timelapse Videos for Construction
TIMELAPSE
We are a concierge service. Timelapse isn't one of our core offerings, but when one of our trusted clients asked us for assistance, we worked with them to figure it out. Timelapse is a great way to help tell the story of your project, and to document progress. This was taken with a custom computer rig designed for this project and mounted on the construction office.

We Make it Easy
There are many ways to create 3D models from scratch. We spent years of trial and error and hundreds of thousands of dollars on drones, lasers, photo and video sensors, GPS and other geolocation devices, targets and markers, supercomputers and other alignment tools and software so we could make it look easy. This is a process map that we made to illustrate the complexity of this world.

About Havitar
Havitar exists to bridge the gap between what we want the world to look like (the design condition), and how it actually is (the as-built condition). After spending decades working on billions of dollars worth of real estate projects with some of the best developers, architects and designers around the world, we discovered the need for this bridge between the digital world in which projects are designed, and the physical world in which they actually exist. Owners, builders, architects, and designers hire us to document the as-built condition of their property and create the baseline architectural drawings from which renovation planning can begin. Because we have personally managed big projects ourselves, we can translate the technical jargon of engineers and architects into a simple scope of work that is easy for owners understand. We are obsessed with creating the most precise, photorealistic virtual models in the world.
