What All-City Sketchers, Inc. does

All-City Sketchers, Inc. is a privately held, founder-led professional services firm specializing in Building Information Modeling (BIM), 3D laser scanning, and MEP shop drawings for the construction industry. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in the New York/New Jersey Tri-State area, the company delivers an integrated pre-construction workflow that begins with field 3D laser scanning, converts the resulting point cloud into intelligent BIM models via Scan-to-BIM, runs multi-disciplinary clash detection and coordination across architectural, structural, and MEP systems, and outputs fabrication-ready 2D and 3D shop drawings for sheet metal, mechanical piping, plumbing, and sprinkler trades. The firm positions itself as an early adopter of 3D modeling technology in the NYC AEC market and reports 800+ completed projects and 10+ million square feet digitized to date.

The underlying technical stack is anchored by state-of-the-art terrestrial 3D laser scanning hardware specified at up to 360,000 points per second capture rate and 0.236-inch accuracy at 100 feet, with a 360°/300° field of view and a multi-battery system supporting roughly 10 hours of continuous field use. Captured point clouds feed into Scan-to-BIM pipelines producing models up to LOD 400 specification for mechanical rooms and process piping, which then generate BIM-driven shop drawings for shop fabricators. The company advertises federated model management, BIM Execution Plan development, and structured coordination meetings as part of its coordination service, supported by an OSHA-certified, licensed, and insured field operation.

All-City Sketchers generates revenue on a project-based professional services basis, sold via direct enterprise sales (consultation forms, phone, email) under custom quote-based pricing with multi-year contract cadence and promotional bundling (e.g., a free 3D BIM model with shop drawing orders). The customer base spans general contractors, trade contractors, developers/owners, and architects/engineers, with marquee accounts including Turner Construction, Suffolk Construction, Lendlease, Structure Tone (STO Building Group), HITT Contracting, Consigli Construction, Clune Construction, and Shawmut Design and Construction. End-market verticals served include commercial, residential, healthcare, and industrial/logistics projects across the NYC metropolitan area. Marketing combines an informational website/SEO presence, paid Google and Facebook remarketing, LinkedIn lead generation, and project case studies/testimonials, with no reseller or distributor channels in use.

Core offering

All-City Sketchers provides professional BIM (Building Information Modeling) services for the construction industry, integrating 3D laser scanning, Scan-to-BIM conversion, multi-disciplinary BIM coordination with clash detection, and detailed 2D/3D MEP shop drawings for fabrication. These services are delivered as an integrated workflow on commercial, residential, healthcare, and industrial projects for general contractors, trade contractors, developers, architects, and engineers across the New York and Tri-State area.

Product overview

All-City Sketchers is a seasoned provider of professional BIM services offering an integrated portfolio of three core service lines: BIM Modeling & Coordination (including multi-disciplinary modeling, clash detection, and conflict resolution), 3D Laser Scanning (with field surveying, point cloud processing, and Scan-to-BIM conversion), and MEP Shop Drawings (covering Sheet Metal, Mechanical Piping, Plumbing, and Sprinkler trades). These services are designed to work together as an integrated workflow—3D laser scanning captures existing conditions, Scan-to-BIM converts point clouds into intelligent models, BIM coordination ensures clash-free integration across all disciplines, and detailed shop drawings enable precise fabrication and installation. The company serves the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry across the New York and New Jersey tri-state area.

Broad incumbents

• Buro Happold: Buro Happold is a global engineering consultancy with established BIM and digital-twin practices serving complex buildings. It competes for sophisticated BIM coordination work but operates across a much broader portfolio of engineering and consulting services.
• Trimble: Trimble supplies 3D laser scanning hardware (e.g., Trimble X7/X9) and BIM/VDC software platforms widely used by services firms like All-City Sketchers. Its connected construction strategy and growing BIM services compete for adjacent wallet share.
• Stantec: Stantec is a global engineering, architecture, and project services firm with dedicated BIM/VDC practices. It performs scan-to-BIM and BIM coordination at scale but as part of a much broader infrastructure and building design portfolio.
• Autodesk: Autodesk provides the Revit and AEC software stack that All-City Sketchers produces deliverables within. As the dominant BIM platform vendor, it shapes the ecosystem and increasingly bundles services and AI features that compete with independent BIM service firms.
• MGAC: MGAC is a construction advisory and project management firm with VDC/BIM capabilities serving complex commercial projects. It overlaps with All-City Sketchers in BIM coordination but its primary value is owner-side advisory and cost management.

Direct peers

• ENG (Engineering News-Record): ENG is a multi-disciplinary engineering, BIM, and scan-to-BIM services firm serving commercial, healthcare, and industrial construction. Its service line — laser scanning, BIM modeling, and fabrication-ready deliverables — maps directly to All-City Sketchers' core offering.
• VIATechnik: VIATechnik provides BIM, VDC, 3D laser scanning, and computational design services to AEC clients. It directly overlaps with All-City Sketchers on scan-to-BIM, BIM coordination, and shop-drawing production for GC and trade contractor customers.
• Ideate: Ideate provides BIM implementation, scan-to-BIM, and BIM production services to AEC organizations. Its professional services portfolio — including laser scanning capture and modeling deliverables — competes head-to-head with All-City Sketchers.
• Microsol Resources: Microsol Resources is an Autodesk partner delivering BIM services, 3D laser scanning, and VDC support to AEC firms. It overlaps directly with All-City Sketchers in scan-to-BIM conversion and BIM modeling for trade contractors and GCs.

Others

• Hexagon (Leica Geosystems): Hexagon, via Leica Geosystems, manufactures the professional-grade laser scanning hardware that BIM services firms deploy. As an enabling technology provider, it is adjacent to All-City Sketchers' services model and shapes the cost and capability floor for 3D scanning offerings.
