House Scan Inspections – 3D Laser Scanning Before Purchase

Buying a home is a major investment, and unseen structural issues can lead to unexpected expenses. Our house scan inspections provide a highly accurate and detailed 3D laser scanning analysis of properties before purchase. Unlike traditional home inspections, our scans capture every architectural and structural detail with millimeter precision, allowing buyers to make informed decisions.
At ScanM2, we offer infrared scan home inspection and 3D laser scanning for home buyers, ensuring that no hidden flaws go unnoticed. Our technology provides a digital twin of the property, which can be used for future renovations, remodeling, or documentation.
Our 3D Laser Scanning Results
Why Choose 3D Laser Scanning for Home Inspections?
Unlike traditional visual home inspections, 3D laser scanning provides:
- Unmatched Accuracy: Our advanced scanners (Faro, Leica, Trimble) capture precise measurements of walls, floors, ceilings, and even minor imperfections.
- Infrared Scan Home Inspection: Detects moisture, insulation gaps, and hidden structural issues that are invisible to the naked eye.
- Comprehensive Data: Provides a point cloud, 3D models (.rvt, .dwg, .pln, .pla), and 2D documentation for complete property assessment.
- Ideal for Pre-Purchase Inspections: Ensures you know exactly what you’re buying, avoiding costly surprises after closing the deal.
- Time & Cost Savings: Avoids manual measuring and repeated site visits.
- 100% Non-Intrusive: No drilling, cutting, or damaging the property during scanning.
Whether you are a real estate buyer or a homeowner planning renovations, our scanning service gives you a complete digital model of the property.
How Our House Scan Inspections Work
We follow a streamlined house scan inspection process to deliver accurate and actionable results:
1. Initial Consultation & Quote
We assess the property details, including size, interior/exterior scans, and specific client requirements. Pricing is based on:
- Property Type & Size (Residential, Multi-Family, Commercial)
- Scanning Scope (Inside, Outside, or Both)
- Deliverables (Point Cloud, 2D Documentation, 3D Models)
- Additional Features (Plumbing, HVAC, Electrical Systems)
After gathering this information, we provide a transparent and competitive quote.
2. On-Site 3D Laser Scanning
Using Faro, Leica, and Trimble scanners, we capture:
- Every detail of walls, floors, and ceilings
- Structural features such as beams, columns, and foundations
- Electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and insulation via infrared scanning
A full house scan typically takes a few hours, depending on the complexity of the building.
3. Data Processing & Model Creation
Our team processes the scan data to generate:
- Point Cloud Files (.e57, .rcs, .las)
- 2D CAD Drawings (.dwg, .pdf)
- 3D BIM Models (.rvt, .pln, .pla)
- Digital Twins for Future Use
This step ensures clients receive clear, usable, and high-quality inspection reports.
4. Final Report & Client Review
We deliver the completed home scan inspection report, along with 3D models and detailed analysis. Clients can review the scan for insights into potential structural concerns before making a purchasing decision.
