Reality Capture represents a paradigm shift in how we perceive and manage built assets within the AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations) industry. At Escher Labs, we excel in leveraging advanced technologies that enable us to capture and analyze the physical conditions of assets across their lifecycle—from the initial stages of construction to their operational phases.
Our approach is tailored to address diverse client needs and project requirements. Depending on the specific use cases, we utilize a range of sophisticated technologies:
Optical 360 Cameras©:
Ideal for capturing immersive, panoramic views of environments, facilitating comprehensive visual documentation.
Low Density Lidar Scanning:
Enables rapid data capture with sufficient detail for early-stage project assessments and spatial analysis.
High Precision LIDAR Scanning:
Delivers highly accurate point cloud data, essential for detailed as-built documentation and precision measurements.
Escher Labs collaborates with leading technology providers such as Hexagon, Leica, RICOH, Insta 360, Openspace, Trimble, Matterport, and FARO, ensuring access to the latest advancements in Reality Capture technology.
The application of Reality Capture extends beyond mere data acquisition. At Escher Labs, we integrate this technology into comprehensive service offerings that include:
Accurate As-Built Condition Data:
Providing a precise representation of the current state of assets, essential for renovation, retrofitting, and maintenance projects.
Base Reference for Digital Twin:
Establishing a foundational digital replica of physical assets, facilitating ongoing monitoring, analysis, and decision-making.
Plan vs Actual Simulation:
Comparing planned designs with actual construction progress, enabling proactive management of deviations and optimizations.
Quality Checks and Validation:
Overlaying scanned data onto integrated BIM (Building Information Modeling) models to ensure alignment with design intent and regulatory compliance.
Facilities Walkthroughs and 360 VR Experiences:
Enhancing stakeholder engagement and understanding through immersive virtual tours and interactive visualizations.
By integrating Reality Capture seamlessly into our services, Escher Labs empowers clients to achieve heightened project precision, streamline workflows, and make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle. Whether enhancing project management efficiency, optimizing asset performance, or enhancing stakeholder communication, our expertise in Reality Capture technology delivers tangible benefits across the built environment landscape.

We are into large scale residential developments and time is the key. Our biggest hurdle for many years has been to convince prospects and Elabs with their VR models helped us immensely to speed up the process of selling units which ultimately resulted in faster ROI. They have experts who not only supported us 24/7 during launches but also delivered post launch support for many months.
If you have any current or upcoming building projects and need help ensuring excellence in project delivery, budget management, or avoiding time overruns, we’re here to support you.
