How it works

You request it. FrontView scans it.

A FrontView technician brings a professional-grade LiDAR SLAM scanner, set to its highest resolution, scans the building inside and out, and pins the equipment that matters. Nobody on your team carries a camera, sets anything up or learns any software. The record lands in your account.

The process

Nothing to set up. Nothing to learn.

All that’s needed from you is the request and access to the building. FrontView handles the rest, and everything after the visit happens in the record.

    FrontView scans it

    A FrontView technician scans every space you’ve opened up with professional-grade LiDAR, inside and out, pins the equipment that matters, and checks coverage before leaving.

    FrontView builds and reviews it

    FrontView Building Intelligence turns the scan into a measurable 3D model, a floor plan, photos and points of interest, processed on top-line GPUs. A person at FrontView checks it against laser measurements taken on site, and notes any space that couldn’t be captured.

    The record is in your account, filed under the building’s address. Walk it, measure it, share it, and download every file.

    Capture it again

    Request the next capture at a lease start or end, a fit-out or an incident, or follow the building’s schedule. Each one joins the same record, so FrontView can show what changed.

Before the visit

What FrontView needs from you.

That’s the whole list. No prep, no markers, nothing to install.

  • AccessKeys, codes or a person on site, for every space you want captured.
  • Lights onAnd doors open where possible.
  • A heads-up about occupied spacesSo tenants know when FrontView is coming.
  • Where to parkAnd how to get the equipment in.
Checked on site

Every space covered, before the technician leaves.

The technician checks coverage on site against the plan, so a missed room is scanned again that day, not discovered after the visit.

What every capture includes

One visit. Everything the record needs.

  • Every space you’ve given access to, floor by floor
  • The street-level facade, and the roof where there’s access
  • A measurable 3D model and a measured floor plan
  • Photos, and close-ups at every point of interest
  • The capture date, and the method used
  • Every source file, yours to download: point cloud, 3D model, plans, photos and data
  • A coverage note: any space that couldn’t be captured, and why

Facade & roof

Facade & roof, before they become capital projects.

Cracks, failing joints and roof wear cost far less to fix early. On the same visit, the technician scans the street-level facade, and the roof where there’s access; licensed drone pilots fly everything above. It all lands on the same dated record, so you catch wear while it’s still a repair.

  • Ground level: the same visitScanned with the interior. No extra trip.
  • Upper facade, cornices & roof: FrontView drone Add-onAdd it when you request the capture. FrontView schedules the flight with the visit.
  • Rooftop equipment, pinnedRooftop units, drains and bulkheads become points of interest, compared at every capture.

Where drones can’t fly. Some airspace, in dense city centers especially, is closed to drones. There, FrontView captures upper facades and roofs from street level, from poles, from neighboring roofs, or on foot where there is roof access.

Where FrontView works

New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Philadelphia.

FrontView’s own technicians cover the region. Elsewhere in the United States, trusted partners scan with the same class of scanner, and FrontView processes and reviews every capture itself. Visits are by request and availability, and turnaround depends on the building’s size and complexity.

Questions

What people ask first

What equipment does FrontView use?
Professional-grade LiDAR SLAM scanners, set to their highest resolution for the best accuracy: they map the building as the technician walks it, so nothing has to be placed in the building first. A laser measure confirms the dimensions that matter, a drone flies the upper facade and roof where drones can fly, and top-line GPUs process the scan.
Do I need to prepare anything?
Access to the spaces you want captured, the lights on, and a heads-up about occupied spaces. No markers, no targets, nothing to install.
How long does a visit take?
It depends on the building’s size and how many floors it has. FrontView tells you when it confirms the visit.
When is the record ready?
It depends on the building’s size and complexity. Visits are by request and availability, and FrontView gives you the timing when it confirms the visit.
Where does FrontView work?
FrontView’s own technicians work across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Philadelphia. Elsewhere in the United States, FrontView works through trusted partners who scan with the same class of scanner, and FrontView processes and reviews every capture itself. FrontView works only in the United States.
Can you capture occupied spaces?
Yes. Say so in the intake form, and FrontView plans the visit around the people working there. FrontView captures only the spaces you’ve arranged access to.
What if a space is locked or off-limits?
The technician captures every space that’s accessible, and the capture’s coverage note lists any space that wasn’t, and why. When it opens up, request a recapture and it joins the same record.
Do you capture the facade and roof?
Yes, on the same visit. The technician scans the street-level facade, and the roof where there’s access. Above the ground floor, licensed drone pilots capture the upper facade and the roof as an add-on. Where drones can’t fly, upper facades and roofs are captured from street level, poles, neighboring roofs or on foot.
What does it cost?
Each capture is priced by the building’s size and complexity: floor area, floors, occupancy, access, travel, and add-ons like drone facade & roof or AI Building Inspection. Laser-confirmed dimensions are included. A person at FrontView confirms the price in writing before the visit is scheduled. Priced per building, never per seat.

Request a capture. FrontView does the rest.

Send the address and what you need. A person at FrontView reviews every request and confirms the visit with you.
