Accurate, Non-Invasive Property Inspections Powered by 3D Scanning Technology.
Property Inspection Services in Toronto & the GTA
3D Scanning for Smarter Property Inspections in Toronto
Whether you're evaluating a building before purchase, planning a renovation, or documenting a property for insurance or compliance purposes, accurate data is everything. Traditional property inspections rely on manual measurements, handwritten notes, and photographs — methods that are time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to revisit after the fact.
Lightbound 3D brings a better approach. Our 3D laser scanning technology captures complete, millimetre-accurate spatial data of any property in Toronto or the GTA — delivering a comprehensive digital record that goes far beyond what a standard inspection report can offer. The result is a detailed 3D model and point cloud that your team can review, measure, and analyze from anywhere, at any time.
This isn't a replacement for specialized building inspections like structural engineering assessments or environmental testing. It's a powerful complement — giving inspectors, buyers, engineers, and property managers a precise digital baseline of the property's current condition.
Who Benefits from 3D Scanning-Based Property Inspections?
Property Buyers and Investors Before closing on a commercial or residential property in Toronto, you need to understand exactly what you're buying. Our 3D scans provide accurate as-built documentation — including room dimensions, ceiling heights, floor areas, and spatial layouts — so you can identify discrepancies, plan renovations, and make confident purchasing decisions backed by real data.
Property Managers and Building Owners For ongoing facility management across portfolios in Toronto and the GTA, 3D scanning creates a living digital record of your buildings. Document current conditions, track changes over time, and share accurate spatial data with maintenance teams, contractors, and consultants without scheduling repeat site visits.
Architects and Engineers When assessing a property for renovation, adaptive reuse, or structural analysis, starting with accurate as-built data saves time and reduces costly surprises. Our scans integrate directly with Revit, AutoCAD, and other AEC software, giving your design team a precise foundation to work from.
Insurance and Claims Professionals Document property conditions before or after an incident with objective, verifiable 3D data. Our scans provide a timestamped digital record that supports claims, disputes, and compliance reporting with far more detail than photos alone.
Real Estate Brokers and Appraisers Enhance your property assessments with accurate floor plans, 3D models, and virtual tours that give clients a complete picture of the space — ideal for high-value commercial transactions across the GTA.
What You Get with Our Property Inspection Scanning Services
Complete 3D Point Cloud: A dense, accurate representation of every surface in the property — walls, ceilings, floors, mechanical systems, and fixtures — captured in a single visit.
As-Built Floor Plans: Dimensionally accurate, scalable floor plans generated from scan data, ready for use in design, leasing, or assessment workflows.
3D Digital Model: A navigable, measurable 3D model of the property that your team can access remotely via our cloud platform.
Matterport Virtual Tour (Optional): An immersive, photo-realistic walkthrough that lets stakeholders explore the property online before or after an inspection.
Scan-to-BIM Models (Optional): For projects requiring detailed Revit-ready building information models, we can convert scan data into intelligent BIM documentation.
Photography and Drone Capture (Optional): Add high-resolution interior, exterior, and aerial imagery to complement your inspection documentation.
How Our Property Inspection Process Works
1. Discovery Call We start by understanding your property, your goals, and what deliverables you need. Whether it's a single-unit condo in downtown Toronto or a multi-building commercial portfolio across the GTA, we'll recommend the right scope and approach.
2. On-Site 3D Scanning Our team visits the property with professional-grade Leica LiDAR scanners and Matterport Pro3 cameras. Most properties are scanned in a single visit — typically 1 to 3 hours depending on size and complexity — with minimal disruption to occupants or operations.
3. Data Processing and Modelling Back in our Toronto studio, we process the raw scan data into your requested deliverables: point clouds, floor plans, 3D models, BIM files, or virtual tours. Standard turnaround is 2 to 5 business days.
4. Secure Cloud Delivery All files are delivered through our secure cloud platform, where your team can view, download, measure, and share the data. Need to revisit a detail six months later? It's all there.

Property Inspection Services — Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. 3D scanning captures precise spatial and dimensional data — it documents what a building looks like and how it's configured. It does not assess structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing condition, or environmental hazards. Think of it as a powerful complement that provides the accurate baseline data inspectors, engineers, and assessors need to do their work more effectively.
-
We scan residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional properties of all sizes. This includes condos, houses, office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, schools, healthcare facilities, and multi-building campuses across Toronto, the GTA, and Southern Ontario.
-
On-site scanning typically takes 1 to 3 hours depending on the size and complexity of the property. We work efficiently to minimize disruption, and most properties are completed in a single visit.
-
We deliver point clouds (E57, RCP, SKP), floor plans (PDF, DWG), 3D models (OBJ, FBX), Matterport virtual tours, and Revit-ready BIM models. We can accommodate specific format requests based on your team's software and workflow requirements.
-
Pricing depends on the property size, number of floors, required deliverables, and location. Most projects are quoted on a per-project basis after a short discovery call. Contact us for a free estimate.
-
Absolutely. Our scan data and BIM models are specifically designed to support renovation and adaptive reuse projects. Architects and engineers across Toronto use our as-built models as the starting point for their design work.
