PROJECT SUPPORT: AS-BUILT REVIT MODELING
Read | Thomas was selected to provide laser scanning and as-built modeling services for a historic multi-story building featuring a distinctive arched colonnade and traditional stucco exterior. The property's age and architectural complexity presented documentation challenges typical of older construction, including accumulated additions, non-standard detailing, and limited availability of original record drawings.
Our team completed a full laser scan of the structure and developed a comprehensive as-built Revit model capturing the building envelope, interior layout, and defining architectural features across all floors. The resulting model provides the owner and design team with an accurate, detailed foundation to support future renovation planning, historic preservation work, and long-term facility management.
PROJECT SUPPORT: AS-BUILT REVIT MODELING
Read | Thomas was selected to provide laser scanning and as-built modeling services for the historic Lake Lure Inn, a landmark multi-story hotel property located in Lake Lure, NC. The building's age and architectural character presented unique documentation challenges, including irregular floor plans, non-standard window and door configurations, and construction details that varied significantly from modern building conventions.
Our team completed a full laser scan of the property to capture highly accurate existing conditions data, which served as the foundation for a detailed as-built Revit model. The resulting model faithfully documents the full extent of the structure — from the building envelope and interior layout to the key architectural features that define the Inn's historic character — providing the owner and design team with a reliable resource for future renovation planning, historic preservation efforts, and ongoing facility management.
PROJECT SUPPORT: REVIT MODELING
Read | Thomas was selected to provide Revit modeling and visualization support for a new equipment rental facility for Herc Rentals. The project included a prefabricated metal structure with a customer-facing retail office, multiple service bays, and a large-scale equipment storage yard requiring accurate site and building documentation.
Our team developed a detailed Revit model of the facility and leveraged Enscape to produce high-quality real-time renderings showcasing both the exterior character and operational layout of the site. The deliverables gave the client a clear visual representation of the completed project and demonstrated Read | Thomas's capabilities in asset creation and visualization for light industrial building types.

PROJECT SUPPORT: REVIT MODELING
Read | Thomas was engaged to provide project modeling and QA/QC support for a historic commercial office building, producing a detailed Revit model to serve as a base sample project for software testing and development purposes. The building's ornate Victorian-era facade — featuring arched windows, decorative cornices, and intricate masonry detailing — made it an ideal candidate for stress-testing the software's ability to handle complex architectural geometry and historic construction typologies.
Our team developed a thorough, well-structured Revit model of the building that met the quality and accuracy standards required for use as a software demonstration and testing asset. The resulting model gave the software development team a realistic, real-world project environment to validate functionality, identify edge cases, and ensure their platform performs reliably across the full range of conditions encountered on historic and architecturally complex projects.
