Healthcare Facility Scanning in Los Angeles
Laser scans of hospitals, clinics and medical offices captured under infection control rules, with as-builts for renovations and equipment upgrades.
Healthcare Facility Scanning · Los Angeles
Scanning Occupied Clinical Spaces
Hospitals and clinics are always changing, but they cannot close for a survey. Our healthcare facility scanning service captures patient floors, operating rooms, imaging suites, labs and mechanical spaces while the facility keeps running. In California, hospital construction is reviewed by the state’s Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI), and design teams need reliable existing-condition drawings to work from. We scan under the facility’s infection control rules, capture above-ceiling systems when the hospital allows it and deliver Revit models and CAD drawings for designers and engineers.
Respecting Patients, Staff and Infection Control
Working in a hospital takes more planning than working in an office. Our techs follow the facility’s infection control risk assessment, which can mean dust barriers, sticky mats or negative air when ceiling tiles come out. We schedule around patient care, often working nights or weekends, and we coordinate with facilities staff for access to each room. Our scans avoid capturing patients and patient information where possible, and we clean any stray data before delivery. Hospitals planning long-term facility work can extend the data into a digital twin of the campus.
- Scans of occupied hospitals and clinics
- Infection control precautions followed
- Above-ceiling MEP captured where allowed
- Revit and CAD backgrounds for design teams
Healthcare Projects That Need a Scan
These projects make up most of our healthcare work.
Imaging equipment replacement
New MRI, CT and cath lab equipment needs exact room sizes, shielding locations and ceiling support. A scan gives designers and vendors accurate data before ordering.
Operating room and lab upgrades
Surgical suites and labs are full of booms, medical gas and ductwork. A scan helps designers fit new systems around what exists.
Seismic and code upgrades
California hospitals face ongoing seismic and code requirements. Engineers use accurate scans to plan structural work and nonstructural bracing.
Medical office tenant improvements
Clinics and medical offices remodel often. A quick scan of the suite gives the architect accurate backgrounds for the new layout.
Facility records
Many hospitals have decades of changes without updated drawings. A scan resets the baseline for maintenance and planning.

How We Work
Every project follows the same basic path from the first call to the files on your server:
1. Plan with facilities
We review infection control requirements, access windows and patient areas with your facilities and infection prevention staff.
2. Scan in phases
Areas are scanned room by room or floor by floor on an agreed schedule, with barriers and precautions in place when needed.
3. Model and review
Data is registered, cleaned and modeled, then checked and delivered for your design team.
What We Capture in Healthcare Buildings
Patient floors and corridors
Rooms, corridors, nurse stations and support spaces are scanned for floor plans, reflected ceiling plans and models.
Imaging and procedure rooms
MRI, CT and procedure rooms are captured with ceiling supports, shielding areas and equipment positions.
Above-ceiling MEP
When tiles can be removed under infection control rules, we scan ducts, pipes, medical gas and cable trays in the plenum.
Mechanical and electrical rooms
Air handlers, chillers, emergency power and switchgear are scanned for upgrade planning.
Exterior and roof
Roof equipment, helipads and facades are captured for exterior projects and equipment replacements.
Cost of Healthcare Facility Scanning
Healthcare scanning costs more than office work because of access, phasing and infection control. Most projects fall between $0.25 and $1.25 per square foot including modeling. What affects the price:
- Infection control level. Higher-risk areas need barriers and extra precautions.
- Phasing. Scanning in small pieces over many nights adds mobilizations.
- Above-ceiling scanning. Removing tiles under ICRA rules adds time.
- Room complexity. Operating rooms and imaging suites need more detail than offices.
- Modeling detail. MEP and structure at LOD 300 or 350 cost more than architectural only.
- Off-hours work. Nights and weekends are priced higher.
Send the areas and access rules, and we will write a phased scope and price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you scan without disturbing patients?
Yes. We schedule around patient care, work off-hours when needed and coordinate with staff for each room.
Do you follow ICRA requirements?
Yes. We follow the facility’s infection control risk assessment, including barriers, mats and other precautions when ceiling tiles are opened.
Will your drawings work for HCAI submissions?
Our drawings document existing conditions, which the architect uses as a base for the project. Your design team decides what is submitted to HCAI and should confirm any specific requirements.
How do you protect patient privacy?
We avoid capturing patients and records when scanning, and we remove people and sensitive items from the data before delivery.
Can you scan an MRI room?
We coordinate MRI rooms with your imaging staff, since the magnet is always on. Scanning is done from outside the restricted zone or with approved procedures.
Do you scan medical office buildings too?
Yes. Medical offices, clinics and outpatient centers make up a large part of our healthcare work.
Can your techs meet hospital vendor requirements?
Our techs can provide proof of vaccinations, background checks and vendor registration when a facility requires them.
