Overview
Tejjy Inc. partnered with Tate, Inc., a global leader in raised access flooring, structural ceilings, and data center infrastructure solutions, to support the demolition of one of their warehouse facilities. As a critical hub for Tate’s manufacturing and logistics operations, the warehouse required precise documentation to ensure smooth permitting and minimal disruption to ongoing business activities. Using our LiDAR scanning services we produced permit-ready multi-disciplinary drawings to facilitate smooth county approvals.
The engagement emphasized:
- 3D laser scanning for reliable as-built documentation despite equipment obstructions
- Scan-to-Revit workflows to support multi-disciplinary demolition planning
- Permit-ready drawings aligned with county requirements to minimize regulatory friction
- Future-ready BIM outputs, enabling long-term planning beyond the immediate demolition scope
Digital Strategy Behind the Work
The assignment required a balance between accuracy and compliance to ensure that demolition permitting did not disrupt Tate’s ongoing operations. With heavy equipment and machinery limiting visibility on site, Tejjy structured a digital-first workflow to capture and process existing conditions effectively.
Our team deployed 3D laser scanning technology to create a high-precision point cloud, which was then converted into a Scan-to-Revit model.
Key aspects of the strategy included:
- Sequencing scans carefully around existing machinery to avoid documentation gaps
- Maintaining a high level of precision despite obstructions in the warehouse
- Structuring the Revit BIM model to serve as both a permit-ready deliverable and a long-term digital record
- Including only the required demolition scope in drawings to minimize regulatory friction and prevent additional county review
- Streamlining approvals through coordinated multi-disciplinary BIM documentation
This strategy ensured that the demolition permits were issued smoothly, while also leaving Tate with a digital model to support any future renovation.Explore more in our Projects.
