3D property scanning in Ferndale.
Ferndale is dense, walkable and built small. Twenties-through-forties bungalows on narrow lots, alleys running behind the houses, detached garages, and a downtown along Nine Mile that people actually walk to. It is also one of the most renovation-active cities we serve, because when you cannot build out, you build up, down, or into the garage.
The deposit holds your slot and is credited in full to your total.
Alley access and detached garages: tell us whether the garage is on the alley and whether it is powered, and we will plan the exterior pass around it.

Ferndale · Oakland County
Small houses, constant projects.
Small houses are where a scan surprises people. There is not much square footage to photograph, so a listing gallery ends up being seven pictures of seven rooms with no sense of how they connect. A tour makes 1,100 sqft read as a coherent house. And for the garage conversion or the basement finish, a measured reference of a tight, irregular space is worth more than it is on a big open one — there is no slack to absorb a bad measurement.
Because the entry cost matters more on a smaller project, the cheapest way in is one room. If a single-room scan is all you need for a contractor conversation, that is all you should pay for.

Straight answers
What a scan is — and isn't.
We'd rather lose a booking than mis-sell one.
Accuracy is a range, not a number: ~2cm at close range, ~3cm at 20m, ~5cm at 40m.
Interiors sit at the tight end, because residential sight-lines are short; big exteriors and long commercial spans sit at the loose end. The instrument returns 200,000 points a second inside a 40–70m scan radius, with 8K panoramic colour. Excellent for tours, design reference and documentation — and still not survey-grade, because survey instruments measure in millimeters. These are tolerances inside one capture, never georeferenced positions.
No boundary or property-line work, ever.
Michigan law requires a licensed Professional Surveyor for that — we'll happily refer you to one.
Every accessible room — not unfinished attics, crawl spaces or roof planes.
Finished, walkable space is in scope: closets, the basement, the garage and a finished attic. Unfinished attics, crawl spaces and anything that needs a ladder are out, and we do not walk a roof. Tell us a room to skip and we skip it — you decide what ends up in the file.
One scan pose sees 360° around but only a 59° vertical slice.
So genuinely tall spaces — two-storey stairwells, vaulted and cathedral ceilings, high warehouse racking — need extra passes from extra positions. We plan for that. If a ceiling is out of reach we tell you before we invoice, not after you open the file.
Floor plans are a manual-trace add-on (+$85).
Traced by hand from the scan, so it is dimensionally approximate and we publish no tolerance for it — a hand trace stacks its own error on the instrument's. A reference drawing, not an architectural or survey document.
Renovation Scans are measured reference scans, not certified as-builts or construction documents.
BIM-capable capture is on our roadmap — join the waitlist and you'll be first to know.
A drone pass is a roof overview, not a certified inspection.
Weather and airspace rules apply, and it stays an interest list until our Part 107 certification is verified.
No sell-faster promises.
We won't claim a 3D tour sells your listing faster or for more — nobody can honestly claim that. What we deliver: buyers tour every room before booking a showing, and your file keeps working after the sale.
Questions we get
Everything people ask before they book.
- Is it worth scanning a 1,100 sqft Ferndale bungalow?
- For a listing, that is a judgement call and we will not oversell it: what a tour does is let buyers walk the whole house before they ask for a showing, and it leaves your seller a file they keep. It will not make the house sell faster or for more — nobody can honestly promise that. The Listing Scan is $229 base ≤2,500 sqft · +$60 per additional 1,000 sqft and a house that size sits inside the base.
- Can you scan just the garage we're converting?
- Yes. That is the Room Scan at $99–129, back in 24h — you get a viewer link, and the PLY point cloud on request if your designer wants to measure from it.
- How much does a 3D home scan cost in Michigan?
- Flat, per-project pricing — no subscription. A Room Scan is $99–129. A Listing Scan is $229 for homes up to 2,500 sqft, plus $60 per additional 1,000 sqft. A Grounds Scan is $149–199 on its own, or +$99 bundled with a home tour. An Insurance Scan is $299–399 and a Renovation Scan is $349–499. Anything over 15,000 sqft is quoted by a human, never auto-priced. A $50 deposit holds your slot and comes off the total in full.
- Is a 3D scan survey-grade?
- No — and the honest version of the number is a range rather than a single figure: ~2cm at close range, ~3cm at 20m, ~5cm at 40m. Interiors sit at the tight end, because residential sight-lines are short; big exteriors and long commercial spans sit at the loose end. That is excellent for tours, design reference and documentation, and it is still not survey-grade, because true survey instruments measure in millimeters and because what we deliver is a tolerance inside one capture, not a georeferenced position. We also do no boundary or property-line work of any kind: Michigan law requires a licensed Professional Surveyor for that, and we'll refer you to one.
- How fast do I get my files?
- Tours come back in 24–48 hours. A Room Scan is 24 hours and a Grounds Scan is 48. Documentation and renovation work takes longer because it is checked more carefully: an Insurance Scan is 3–5 days, a Renovation Scan is 5–7 days, plus about two weeks if you add a third-party CAD pass. Commercial jobs get an owner-reviewed quote within 24 hours.
- What exactly is the $50 deposit?
- It holds your slot on the schedule and is credited in full to your final bill. It is not a fee and it is not an extra charge. You get one free reschedule with 24 hours' notice, and if weather scrubs the day we rebook you free with your deposit intact. No-shows and same-day cancellations forfeit the deposit.
