3D Construction Documentation · Los Angeles
A Dated Visual Record of the Whole Build
3D construction documentation is a complete visual record of a job, captured on a set schedule and tied to the floor plans. Our techs walk your Los Angeles site with a 360° camera every week or two, and the footage is placed on your plans in Cupix, Matterport or another platform you already use. Project managers, owners and lenders can open any room from the office and see it on any date, from bare dirt to finished space. The most valuable captures are the ones nobody can take again: what is inside the walls right before drywall, what is above the ceiling before the grid goes in, and what the neighboring buildings looked like before excavation started.
Captures You Can Find Again Years Later
A folder of phone photos does not help when the question is where a conduit runs behind a finished wall on level four. Our captures are tied to the floor plan, dated and labeled, so anyone on the team can click a room and scroll back through time. We walk the same route each visit so the comparison stays clean, and we tell you after every walk which areas we could not reach. Everything is shared with a link, and nobody needs special software to view it. At handover the whole record goes to the owner, and it can feed a digital twin of the finished building.
- Weekly or biweekly 360° walks pinned to your plans
- Pre-drywall and above-ceiling captures
- Cupix and Matterport capture available
- Closeout records handed to the owner
When a Job Needs 360° Construction Documentation
These are the situations that lead most contractors and owners to set up regular captures.
Before drywall closes in
Once the walls are covered, the only record of plumbing, electrical and blocking is whatever someone captured. A full 360 walk right before close-in saves a lot of cutting later when someone needs to find a pipe.
Pre-construction condition records
Excavation, shoring and pile driving can lead to claims from neighbors. Capturing the street, sidewalks and adjoining buildings before work starts gives you a dated record of their condition.
Owners and lenders who are not on site
Investors, lenders and remote owners want to see progress before they release payments. A shareable tour lets them check each floor without a site visit and shortens the back and forth over pay applications.
Disputes, delays and insurance claims
When a trade says work was done on a certain date, or a change order is in question, dated captures settle it quickly. They also help after water damage, theft or fire on site.
Handover and closeout
At the end of the job, the full set of captures gives the owner a record of what is inside every wall and ceiling. Facility teams use it for years after the contractor leaves.

How We Work
Every project follows the same basic path from the first call to the files on your server:
1. Set up the project
We load your floor plans into the platform, agree on a walk route and a schedule, and mark the milestones that need a full capture, such as pre-drywall.
2. Walk and capture
Our tech walks each floor with a 360 camera on the agreed day, following site safety rules and your superintendent’s directions.
3. Process and share
Footage is placed on the plans and dated, usually within a day or two. Your team gets a link and a short note on what was captured and anything that could not be reached.
Ways We Document a Construction Site
Cupix 360 walk-throughs
Cupix turns 360 video into a navigable model placed on your floor plans and lets you compare dates side by side. It works well for weekly records on large sites because capture is fast.
Matterport captures
Matterport gives a polished 3D tour with measurement tools. Some owners prefer it for milestone records and handover, especially on smaller or finished spaces.
Pre-drywall and above-ceiling captures
A dense capture of every wall and ceiling right before close-in, with extra positions in mechanical rooms and shafts where the most is hidden.
Exterior and neighbor surveys
Street-level captures of facades, sidewalks and adjoining properties before and after major site work, with a dated index for your insurer.
Closeout packages
At the end of the job, all captures are organized by floor and date and handed over with links and downloadable files for the owner’s records.
Cost of 3D Construction Documentation
Most Los Angeles documentation programs run $400 to $1,500 per site visit, depending on floor area and how much is captured. Monthly programs with weekly or biweekly walks bring the per-visit price down. What moves the number:
- Floor area and floor count. A single-story retail shell takes far less time than a twelve-story residential tower.
- Visit frequency. Weekly walks cost more in total but less per visit than occasional captures.
- Milestone captures. Dense pre-drywall and above-ceiling walks take longer than a standard progress walk.
- Platform. Some owners already pay for Cupix or Matterport; others want us to host. Hosting is a line item.
- Neighbor surveys. Exterior captures of adjoining properties are priced per property.
- Site access. Long safety orientations, escorts or limited hours add field time.
Send the schedule and floor area, and we will price a capture program in writing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a site be captured?
Weekly is common on busy jobs with many trades, and every two weeks works for slower phases. We always add a full capture right before drywall or ceilings close in.
Do we need special software to view captures?
No. Captures open in a web browser through a link. Team members can view, measure and comment without installing anything.
Can you use our existing Cupix or OpenSpace account?
Yes. If your company already has a platform subscription, we capture into your account. If not, we can host the project for you.
How fast are captures posted?
Most 360 walks are processed and posted within one to two working days.
Is a 360 capture accurate enough to measure from?
It is good for locating items and rough measurements. For tight dimensions, such as sleeve locations or wall layout, order a laser scan of the work in place instead.
Can captures help with a delay claim?
Dated, location-tagged captures are a strong record of what was built and when. Your attorney or claims consultant can use them alongside the schedule and daily reports.
Should we document neighboring buildings before excavation?
On tight urban lots it is a good idea. A dated record of cracks and conditions next door before digging starts helps answer damage claims later. Ask your insurer and attorney what they want included.
