Construction Documentation
Every wall, recorded before it disappears.
A walkable 3D record of every mechanical, stack, junction box, and service run — captured the week your trades finish rough-in.
Why builders choose this service
50–500+ scan positions per home
Standard industry coverage is 20–30 positions per floor. Our pre-drywall density captures every wall cavity, soffit, and chase from multiple angles so nothing is hidden behind a single viewpoint.
Warranty defence for the life of the home
When a client calls about a leak six years from now, you have the receipts. Every supply line, every stack, every connector visible in context.
Faster trade handoffs
Drywall and finishing trades reference the scan instead of waiting for a site walk. Fewer RFIs, fewer surprises, fewer trips back.
Owner peace of mind
Most clients have never seen what is in their walls. Handing them a navigable record at close turns a question mark into a deliverable.

Why density matters
The difference is in what you can still see later.
Industry standard
20–30
scan positions per floor
Industry-standard marketing tour
Enough to walk a finished space — most wall cavities visible from a single, often-blocked angle.
Virtualiz3D construction
50–500+
scan positions per home
Virtualiz3D documentation scan
Every cavity captured from at least two angles, every junction and penetration on the record.
A pre-drywall scan is the highest-leverage documentation moment in a custom build. The walls are open, every service run is visible, and once drywall closes everything you didn’t record disappears. We arrive the week your trades finish rough-in and capture the home at builder-grade density.
What we scan
We capture every wall, ceiling cavity, mechanical room, and service penetration in the home. The scan covers basement to attic, including:
- All exterior and interior wall framing with insulation visible
- Plumbing rough-in including supply, waste, and vent stacks
- Electrical rough-in including panel, runs, and junction boxes
- HVAC trunks, branch runs, returns, and equipment locations
- Low-voltage runs (data, security, audio, smart-home backbone)
- Structural elements including beams, posts, and engineered joists
What you get back
In as little as 48 hours after the scan visit, you receive a hosted, walkable 3D tour with a private share link. The tour includes a floor plan view, a dollhouse view, and tags on key mechanicals. You can embed the tour in your project portfolio, share it with the owner at close, or hand it to your warranty department for the file.
Why builders choose this over a standard scan
Density. A 20-position scan tells you the house exists. A 150-position scan tells you exactly where the gas line crosses the joist above the kitchen ceiling. That difference matters when a tile setter is drilling, when an owner asks about a vibration in a wall, or when a warranty claim turns into a question of who knew what when.
Frequently asked questions
When in the build should we schedule the scan?
After rough-in is complete and inspections have passed, but before drywall. Typically 2 to 5 days before the drywall crew is on site. We can hold a flexible booking window once we have your projected close-up date.
How long does a scan take on site?
A typical 3,000–5,000 sq ft home takes 4 to 12 hours of scanning depending on size. A single scan technician handles the visit and stays out of trade traffic. Power and Wi-Fi are not required.
How is this different from a real-estate marketing tour?
Real estate scans use 20–30 positions per floor and are tuned for marketing. We use 50–500+ positions to capture wall cavities at the resolution required for warranty, insurance, and trade reference. Same display technology, completely different documentation density.
Can I get the raw point cloud or BIM data?
Yes — point cloud export (E57, RCP) and BIM-ready files are available as an add-on. See our Point Cloud Export service for details.
What if the home is on a tight schedule and drywall arrives tomorrow?
Call us. We hold same-week and next-day slots for GTA builders. A rush scan adds a coordination fee but does not delay drywall.
