Why Caldas Works

Field discipline, translated into clean design files.

Since 2013, Caldas Works has documented hundreds of buildings across South Florida, from Brickell high-rises to beachfront residences. Trusted by architects and contractors alike, the same Leica hardware and process discipline carries through every engagement.

Your deliverables arrive as-coordinated, layer-organized DWG files ready for AutoCAD, Revit, or any design workflow. No cleanup required before the first design decision.

Our Technology

3D laser scanning, powered by Leica precision.

Caldas Works uses professional Leica scanners to capture detailed point clouds, HDR field imagery, and reliable digital representations of existing spaces.

Interior capture

Leica BLK360

A compact Leica scanner for fast interior reality capture. It lets the team document tight rooms, furnished spaces, visible MEP conditions, and architectural dimensions without relying on manual field notes alone.

Use case
Rooms, corridors, furnished spaces
Capture
High-density point clouds and HDR imagery
Handoff
Cyclone and Autodesk-ready data

Large-site documentation

Leica RTC360

A high-performance scanner for larger or more complex sites. RTC360 data supports structural, architectural, and MEP documentation with fast scan registration and reliable point-cloud coverage.

Use case
Large homes, commercial sites, complex geometry
Capture
Up to 2 million points per second
Workflow
VIS-assisted scan registration on site

Capture standard

What the technology supports across every field visit.

Architectural, structural, and visible MEP measurements captured from the same field visit.

Point clouds become clean DWG, PDF, Revit, and scan archive deliverables.

Professional Leica capture reduces return visits and measurement guesswork.

Delivery

Files arrive via secure link. DWG layers are organized by discipline and ready for immediate use in your software.

FAQ

Common
questions

Don't see your question here? Call us at (786) 355-3585.

General

How long does an as-built survey take?

Residential projects (under 5,000 sq ft) are typically delivered in 1–3 business days after the site visit. Commercial projects range from 3–5 business days depending on size and complexity.

General

What file formats do you deliver?

We deliver AutoCAD DWG, PDF, and JPG for 2D drawings. For 3D projects we provide E57 point clouds, RCP/RCS (Revit-compatible), and RVT Revit models. All files are ready for immediate use in your workflow.

General

Do you work in occupied buildings?

Yes. Our LiDAR scanners are fast and non-invasive — a typical room scan takes under 2 minutes. We routinely work in occupied offices, hotels, and residences with minimal disruption to daily operations.

General

What accuracy can I expect?

The Leica BLK360 and RTC360 capture at ±1–3mm accuracy at range. Our CAD drawings are produced at 1/4" scale with all dimensions verified against the point cloud.

General

Do you cover all of South Florida?

Yes — we serve Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. We also travel statewide for larger projects. Contact us for a quote on projects outside our standard coverage area.

General

What information do you need before the site visit?

We need the approximate square footage, the number of floors, and access instructions. For large commercial buildings, existing drawings (even rough ones) help us scope the project accurately.
