The problem

Models built on guesses mislead.

Design reviews, marketing and investor decks — a model is only as convincing as the building it’s based on.

How one modeling assumption grows

  1. 01A scan stops it hereModeled from old plansThe existing building is traced from plans that are out of date.
  2. 02Design layered on topConcepts, options and renderings all build on it.
  3. 03Visuals signed offClients, investors and boards approve what they see.
  4. 04Reality doesn’t matchWalls, heights and openings differ once work starts.
  5. 05Redesign & lost trustRework the model, re-render and re-explain the changes.

Stop it at step 1.

We build Rhino3D models and renderings directly from verified LiDAR point cloud data, so every visual matches the building that’s actually there.

Our approach

Models and visuals built on real data.

Hos-Scans turns verified point cloud data into architectural-grade Rhino3D models of existing conditions — walls, openings, millwork and exterior elements modeled from what the scanner measured, not from assumptions.

On top of those models we produce photorealistic renderings for marketing, presentations and approvals. Use the models directly, or import them into Revit or your own BIM platform and keep going.

Who it’s for

Who uses modeling & rendering?

Visualization for every project phase — supporting clients across architecture, construction, real estate, interior design and facility management.

Architects & interior designers

Renovation · interiors · options

Start renovation or interior design from an accurate existing-conditions model instead of building from scratch. Models can be exported into your Revit workflow and make design concepts easier to communicate.

Our process

Accuracy and quality at every step.

We follow the same process whatever modeling or rendering service you need, so accuracy and quality are checked at every step.

  1. 01

    Project scoping

    We discuss your model, rendering style, formats and timeline. Not sure what you need? We’ll walk you through the options and quote upfront.

  2. 02

    Data capture (if needed)

    If we haven’t scanned your space yet, we visit the site and capture point cloud and panoramic data with our NavVis and Leica equipment.

  3. 03

    Model development

    We build your 3D model or develop visualization scenes from verified point cloud data, depending on the services you need.

  4. 04

    Quality review

    We check models carefully against the source data, and review renderings for accuracy and visual quality before moving on.

  5. 05

    Client review

    You review the draft deliverables and send feedback. We make revisions as needed and answer any questions you have.

  6. 06

    Final delivery

    You receive production-ready files in your requested formats, with support for integration or follow-up questions before sign-off.

Typical delivery: 2–4 weeks for modelsRenderings 1–2 weeks · animations 2–3 weeks

Technology

The data behind every model.

Every model starts as a survey-grade LiDAR scan — millions of points per second, verified to ±5 mm — before we model a single wall.

Either works. If you already have point cloud data from another provider, we can model from it, assuming the quality is sufficient. If you need scanning, our bundled scanning and modeling packages are priced better than separate services.

Our models are built from verified point cloud data accurate to ±5 mm, so they reflect existing conditions rather than assumptions or old drawings.

Visible MEP elements, such as exposed ductwork, piping and equipment, can be modeled on request. Concealed systems behind walls or ceilings can’t be captured by scanning, so they aren’t modeled.

Photorealistic interior and exterior renderings, aerial and contextual views, detail-focused feature imagery and day/night lighting scenarios.

Revision rounds are agreed in your quote, and every project is covered by our 100% satisfaction guarantee — we revise until it’s right.

Yes. We match virtual staging to your furniture and finish selections, or offer options for you to choose from.
