Existing Conditions

What Existing Conditions does

Existing Conditions is a Boston-headquartered 3D laser scanning and reality capture services firm founded in 1997 that serves the AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) and CRE (commercial real estate) industries. The firm uses LiDAR hardware — notably the FARO Focus S 350 scanner — augmented with SLAM (LiDAR + cameras + IMU) technology to capture point clouds of existing buildings and sites with accuracy within 2–4 millimeters at speeds up to two million points per second. Since founding, Existing Conditions reports having documented and modeled over 10,000 buildings spanning more than 700 million square feet across the United States.

Its core service line is on-site 3D laser scanning, which feeds a portfolio of downstream deliverables: 2D as-built drawings (floor plans, elevations, sections, RCPs, isometrics), 3D Revit BIM models at LOD 100–500, MEP/FP documentation, and the SiteMap® platform for digital utility mapping, jobsite planning, and facility management system integration. Pricing is quote-based and varies by project scope, building size, scan type (greyscale vs. colorized), required Level of Detail, structural complexity, and deliverables selected. Go-to-market is sales-led: direct website and phone engagement (617-247-9161) with Project Managers mobilized nationwide to client sites within one to two days.

Existing Conditions operates as a privately held subsidiary of GPRS following a 2024 acquisition, while retaining its own brand identity. The firm serves a horizontal mix of enterprise clients — including Gensler, HOK, Beyer Blinder Belle, Elkus Manfredi, Robert A.M. Stern, Payette, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger, Shawmut Construction, WinnCompanies, Boston College, Williams College, and the New York Historical Society — and employs 11–50 people. Revenue, pricing specifics, and cap table details are not publicly disclosed.

Revenue model

1. 3D Laser Scanning Services: Point cloud capture services using LiDAR technology. Pricing varies by project scope, size, complexity, and deliverables required. Commercial-grade accuracy with typical tolerances of 2-6 millimeters.
2. As-Built Drawings: 2D deliverable production including floor plans, elevations, sections, details, isometric drawings, and reflected ceiling plans (RCPs).
3. 3D BIM Modeling: 3D Revit model creation with varying Level of Detail (LOD) from 100-500 for architectural, structural, and MEP elements.
4. MEP Documentation: Digital capture of MEP/FP system elements for design, engineering, prefabrication, coordination, and fit-out support.
5. Reality Capture Services: Combined LiDAR or photogrammetry reality capture for creating accurate 2D CAD drawings and 3D BIM models for planning, construction, and asset management.

Core offering

Existing Conditions provides 3D laser scanning services that capture exact architectural, structural, and MEP dimensions of existing buildings, facilities, and sites using LiDAR technology to produce point clouds, 2D CAD as-built drawings, and 3D Revit BIM models. The firm's deliverables support renovations, design upgrades, facility management, clash detection, prefabrication, and historic preservation for architects, builders, engineers, developers, and facilities managers nationwide.

Product overview

Existing Conditions provides 3D laser scanning and reality capture services for the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) and CRE (Commercial Real Estate) industries. The company's service portfolio centers on its core 3D Laser Scanning capability, which generates point cloud data that feeds into multiple downstream deliverables: 3D BIM Modeling (using Revit), As-Built Drawings (2D CAD documentation), and MEP Documentation. Reality Capture serves as an umbrella term for the combined LiDAR and photogrammetry capture process. All deliverables are secured through SiteMap, an internal platform for utility mapping and jobsite planning. The company operates as part of GPRS and has documented over 10,000 buildings across the United States since 1997.

Direct peers

• GPRS: Existing Conditions' parent company since 2024. GPRS provides reality capture, subsurface damage prevention, and utility mapping nationwide using similar LiDAR-based capture workflows and the shared SiteMap® platform. Most directly comparable given operational integration.
• TruePoint Laser Scanning: US-based 3D laser scanning and BIM modeling service provider serving architects, engineers, and contractors with point cloud capture, as-built drawings, and scan-to-BIM deliverables. Closest direct competitive peer with comparable service portfolio and target clients.
• Plowman Craven: UK-based surveying and 3D laser scanning service provider offering measured building surveys, BIM modeling, and monitoring for AEC clients. Functionally equivalent service offering with regional/geographic differences, comparable in deliverable scope and client type.

Broad incumbents

• Leica Geosystems (Hexagon): Major manufacturer of terrestrial laser scanners (Blk, RTC360, ScanStation) used by Existing Conditions, and increasingly offers scanning services and software through Hexagon's Geosystems division. Broad incumbent in the same technology stack with overlapping AEC exposure.
• FARO Technologies: Manufacturer of the FARO Focus S 350 laser scanners used by Existing Conditions for capture. Provides 3D measurement and imaging hardware plus adjacent software; serves AEC, public safety, and industrial metrology with broader product portfolio than Existing Conditions' services focus.
• Trimble: Provides AEC technology including 3D laser scanning hardware (Trimble X7, TX8) and Trimble RealWorks point cloud processing, with deep penetration in surveying, BIM, and construction workflows. Comparable through overlapping technology, customers, and downstream modeling workflows.

Emerging players

• Matterport: 3D spatial capture platform focused on real estate, hospitality, and SMB customers using simpler camera-based capture rather than terrestrial LiDAR. Represents an emerging adjacent approach that competes for a portion of Existing Conditions' market with a software/SaaS model.
• Realsee: Provides VR/3D property capture and visualization services targeting real estate and commercial property customers. Focused on real estate marketing and virtual tours rather than AEC documentation, but overlapping 3D capture technology creates partial competition for facility documentation work.
• OpenSpace: AI-powered construction progress tracking using 360-degree site capture and computer vision, serving general contractors on active job sites. Uses lighter hardware (360 cameras + mobile rigs) versus LiDAR, but increasingly competes for jobsite documentation budget that Existing Conditions targets.

Others

• Vercator: Cloud-based point cloud processing and management platform for AEC and surveying service providers. Adjacent to Existing Conditions as a downstream software tool used by scanning service bureaus to process and deliver point cloud data and derivative BIM/CAD outputs.
