Time in scanning 22,000 sq ft?2139

APN private msg quote post Address this user
I have been asked to give a price on scanning 22,000 ft.² of a two-story school building. The building is empty and it is an older style school building. Any thoughts on pricing and/or the length of time to scan?
Thanks!

Just did one, 28k. Charge $950 and it should take you 3-4hrs.

@LookingGlass Wow, that seems fast. I did a 6,300 sq ft home and that took me 4 hours. Maybe a larger, more open space is in a way easier? - mine had lots of rooms, floor and twists & turns..

We do about 3-4 5k-6k homes a week and it takes us 85 to 110 scans a render which works out to be 1.5 to 2hrs a job.

Wow, I just went back and looked and I did 154 scans for that house...You must be very efficient!

I guess. I've done over 250 scans.

Recently I've seen 5,900 sf on 99 scans.

It is possible.

Depends on the layout. Furniture will slow you down, as will lots of small rooms with obscure hallways, bathrooms, stairs, etc. I have gotten faster; learning the optimal placement for scans has helped me reduce the number of scans but if it were me, I'd guess 22k sq. ft. would be at least an 8-12 hour day. Maybe I'm just slow.

We just did a 45k 4 story dorm for a university that took 412 scans that took 7hrs. Each scan should take between 40-50 seconds each.

Any tips for scanning really large spaces like this where the geography doesn't vary much and there arent many walls for the system to use as reference points?

I know there are a few tricks but just wondering if anyone has discovered new methodologies.

I would start at .12 and negotiate from there. No lower than .08. Wvwn those rates ar cheap. It's not solely about the time...but what is the life time value.

We recently did 4000 no walls, open church area. It took us about 1 hour. The key was no walls, wide open space.

Yesterday we shot 15000 square feet and it took about 3 hours. She shot a wide open art gallery.

45k with 412 scans? That would mean that each scans average coverage area is 109 sqft. Laid out in the most efficient pattern possible those scans would have to be at least 10.5 ft apart. While it may be possible to cover that area, even given inefficiencies due to stairs and rooms, I can't help but think there has to be a significant loss of quality in the overall model. Maybe I am completely wrong, but to me, the math doesn't seem to add up.

For me, it all comes down to how many rooms and objects in them. If crowded 50-60 min per 1k ft
If wide open 40-50.
Good luck!

For us its all about quality not speed - I want to supply clients with fantastic quality every time (in the 3D model, floorplan and tour). If that means I take longer than others - I don't care!

We work in square metre's here and I roughly base my timing on an hour per 100 square metre's. In some properties that's way more that necessary in others its not enough - it all depends on how much furniture is in the space.

Personally I have found greater issues in large vacant commercial spaces - the camera gets confused about where it is - you will find other threads about this! Good luck!
