Construction Documentation
Every phase, on the same record.
A scheduled scan at each construction milestone — so the project lives on as a navigable timeline, not as a folder of one-off photos.
Why builders choose this service
A timeline you can step through
Switch between pre-demo, framing, and pre-drywall views of the same room. The record reads more like a documentary than a folder of photos.
Insurance-grade baselines
The pre-demo scan becomes the documented baseline for the policy. Adjusters and brokers accept it as primary evidence of pre-loss condition.
Multi-trade reference across the build
Drywall references framing. Finish carpentry references drywall. Each trade arrives on site with a known reference point.

Documentation across the build
A record at every phase that matters.
- 1
Framing & Rough-In
Structural framing, MEP runs, plumbing stacks, HVAC routing, and electrical — before anything gets covered up.
- 2
Pre-Drywall
The final snapshot of every service, blocking, insulation, vapor barrier, and mechanical detail before the walls close.
- 3
Finished Product
The polished result — a finished digital twin alongside the as-built record, for handoff, marketing, and sales.
Phase documentation is a builder’s full-project record. Most builders stop at pre-drywall. The ones who book every phase get something different — a navigable history that outlives the project team and the original handoff package.
Typical phase cadence
- Phase 1 — Pre-demo or raw space. Documents the original condition for insurance, owner records, and any heritage-permit obligations.
- Phase 2 — Framing or post-demo. Captures structure and any in-place surprises before walls go up.
- Phase 3 — Pre-drywall. The classic builder reference scan. Every run, every junction, every penetration.
- Phase 4 — Pre-finish or finished. The handoff scan, with all millwork, tile, and fixtures in place.
What phase-based scanning solves
The real value of construction documentation is not captured on the final walkthrough — it is captured at every phase. Phase-based scanning solves four specific problems most builders run into long after handoff.
Warranty & workmanship defence
When a claim surfaces, you have time-stamped 3D proof of your work at every stage — not just a finished photo. The framing scan answers the framing question. The pre-drywall scan answers the mechanical question. The finished scan answers the workmanship question.
Faster trade handoffs
Subs walk the site remotely before they arrive. Fewer site visits, fewer surprises, fewer coordination calls. Every trade reads the same record before they lift a tool.
Renovation-ready record
Ten years from now, the owner’s renovator can see every service and framing member before they cut a single piece of drywall. Phase documentation extends the asset life of the home — and the value of the original build.
Insurance & claims protection
Detailed phase scans become the definitive record in any dispute over damage, workmanship, or scope of completed work. The insurance broker has a navigable reference instead of a binder of photos.
Who orders multi-phase work
Custom home builders running over $5M projects, insurance brokers on high-value rebuilds, and developers who want a portfolio-wide standard across every unit they deliver. The common thread: ownership of the record matters more than the cost of any single scan visit.
Frequently asked questions
How many phases do most projects need?
For a custom rebuild, four is typical — pre-demo, framing, pre-drywall, finished. For a new build on a clean lot, three (raw, pre-drywall, finished) is usually enough. We scope the cadence to the project and price each visit individually with a portfolio discount.
Do you have to commit to all phases up front?
No. Builders frequently start with pre-drywall and add a final as-built later. The package pricing applies once three or more phases on the same project are booked.
How do the phase scans align so the same room is recognizable across visits?
We register every visit to the same scan origin where the structure allows. After framing, the geometry is stable enough that the alignment is automatic. For pre-demo to post-demo, we manually register key fixed points.
