datum (n.) — the established reference from which everything else is measured
Owner-controlled, platform-independent building records.
Datum Point Advisory helps property owners and design and construction teams establish reliable records of existing buildings.
We review available information, identify what is needed, and define the documentation required for the property or project. Our services combine building information advisory, reality capture, and modeling, with clear requirements for delivery and future use.
Owners
Independent advice and building documentation for owners and asset managers preparing for acquisitions, capital improvements, and ongoing ownership. We identify gaps in existing records and define the additional documentation needed to support the owner’s plans. The resulting records remain under the owner’s control.
OwnersDesign & Construction
Existing-condition documentation for design, coordination, and construction. Capture and modeling are scoped to the project’s requirements, with point clouds, drawings, and models delivered in agreed formats and known limitations documented.
Design & ConstructionRecord ownership and delivery
Owners receive an agreed set of building records—such as drawings, models, photographs, and measurement data—with clear terms for ownership, access, and future use. Files are provided in formats suited to the needs of owners, design teams, and future service providers.
The record identifies when the information was captured, what it covers, and any gaps or limitations.
Advisory and documentation services
- Building Information Advisory
- Documentation requirements, capture and modeling scopes, procurement guidance, and standards for file organization, access, and handoff.
- Reality Capture
- Existing-condition capture and registered source data, with coverage, measurement tolerance, and QA/QC requirements defined for the intended use.
- Existing Conditions Modeling
- Models developed from captured conditions, with element scope and level of development specified separately from measurement accuracy. Deliverable formats and coordination requirements are agreed at scoping.
- Aerial Documentation
- Exterior building and site imagery where appropriate to the scope. Aerial documentation does not replace licensed surveying. Where survey control is required, work relies on appropriate furnished control and/or a licensed surveyor.
