3D Laser Scanning
On-site terrestrial laser scanning captures existing conditions in high-density, accurate point cloud data.
A Division of JD Stairs
Precision 3D Scanning, Turned Into Build-Ready Drawings
JD Stairs Lidar Scanning captures your site or structure in millimeter-accurate detail and delivers clean, CAD- and BIM-ready as-built drawings — so architects, contractors, and engineers can design and build with confidence.
Backed by JD Stairs — Metal + Wood Artisans
High-Precision Capture
Millimeter-level accuracy from terrestrial 3D laser scanning.

Built on Field Experience
Grown out of JD Stairs' decades of hands-on fabrication and installation.
About the Division
Scanning & Drafting, Grounded in Real Fabrication Experience
JD Stairs has spent years designing, fabricating, and installing custom metal and wood staircases, railings, doors, and structural steel — work that demands precise measurements and drawings that hold up on the job site.
JD Stairs Lidar Scanning takes that same standard for accuracy and applies it to 3D laser scanning and as-built drawing services for any project, not just our own — giving architects, contractors, and engineers a dependable source of truth before design and construction begin.
Why it matters: Drawings built from real, measured site conditions reduce costly surprises, rework, and change orders later in a project.
What We Offer
Scanning & Drafting Services
From initial site capture to finished drawings, we handle the full workflow — or plug into wherever you are in your project.
As-Built Drawings
Accurate 2D floor plans, elevations, and sections generated directly from scan data.
Point Cloud to CAD/BIM
Clean, organized CAD files and Revit-ready BIM models built from registered point cloud data.
Renovation & Historic Documentation
Detailed documentation of existing structures for renovation, restoration, and preservation projects.
Construction Verification
Compare built conditions against design intent to catch discrepancies before they become problems.
Site Documentation
Comprehensive digital records of a site or structure at a point in time, for planning or archival purposes.
How It Works
From Site Scan to Finished Drawing
A straightforward four-step workflow designed to fit into your project timeline.
-
1
Site Scan
We capture the space or structure with terrestrial laser scanning equipment on-site.
-
2
Point Cloud Processing
Scan data is registered, cleaned, and merged into a single accurate 3D point cloud.
-
3
CAD/BIM Drafting
Our team drafts as-built plans, elevations, or a BIM model directly from the point cloud.
-
4
Delivery & Review
You receive finished files in your preferred format, with revisions available if needed.
