Single-Family As-Built, Menlo Park
Alterpex played a pivotal role in transforming a single-family house renovation project by providing cutting-edge scanning and data collection services. The team began by meticulously capturing the existing conditions of the property, using advanced technology to ensure every detail was documented with precision.
This effort included the creation of a fully immersive 360-degree virtual walkthrough tour, also known as a digital twin. This feature allowed the homeowners, architects, and contractors to explore the property remotely, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the space before making renovation decisions.
Additionally, Alterpex developed a detailed 3D Revit model, integrating all aspects of the property into a single, interactive platform. This model served as the foundation for producing a complete as-built set of plans, providing accurate documentation of the existing structure. These plans were critical for guiding the renovation process, ensuring every modification was based on precise and reliable data.
Through their expertise, Alterpex streamlined the planning and design phases, setting the stage for a seamless and efficient renovation journey.

What is the 3D Revit model?
A 3D Revit model is a digital representation of a building or structure that combines precise geometry and detailed information about the components. It’s created using Autodesk Revit, a software widely used in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries.
This model isn’t just about visuals—it’s an interactive tool. You can explore every aspect of the design, from walls and windows to electrical systems and plumbing. Think of it as a virtual version of a building where all the details come together in one place.
One of its biggest advantages? Accuracy. A 3D Revit model is built using real-world measurements, so what you see in the model matches the actual structure. This makes it incredibly helpful for renovations, new builds, or any project requiring detailed planning.
Another benefit is collaboration. Everyone involved in a project—architects, contractors, engineers—can use the model to stay on the same page. It reduces mistakes, speeds up decision-making, and keeps the process running smoothly.
