Looking Back At Where Lasertech Began

Lasertech Floorplans was founded in 1998

From the very start, the company’s goal was simple and clear: measure buildings with exceptional accuracy and provide detailed, reliable as-built floor plans and documentation for architects, developers, property managers, and other real-estate professionals.

Lasertech was ahead of the industry standard in adopting the use of laser measurements but quickly discovered that better tools alone weren’t enough. The real problem wasn’t just how buildings were measured, but what happened to that data after it left the site. Measurements were still being written down, re-entered, and interpreted multiple times before becoming a drawing, creating opportunities for error even when the field work was precise.

On our Own Software

Rather than accept those limitations, Lasertech built its own proprietary survey software. The goal was to preserve accuracy from the first measurement through to the final deliverable by creating a direct connection between field data and production drawings. This system eliminated manual transcription, aligned field and drafting teams around a single dataset, and established a repeatable, verifiable workflow for documenting real buildings. This software has been refined and developed over the past three decades and is still used today.

As the company’s work expanded into commercial real estate, this technology became foundational. In 2004, Lasertech became the first official interpreter of BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association) and its software evolved to support consistent application of those rules across projects and portfolios. Measurement became not just technical, but strategic- influencing leasing, valuation, and long-term planning.

Where we are today

Today, nearly three decades later, Lasertech continues to build on that same principle -accuracy is everything.  Over the years, Lasertech expanded across North America and Europe documenting millions of square feet and evolving alongside the industry- from 2D CAD to Revit models, from basic floorplans to building data that supports leasing, renovations, and long-term asset planning with the newest version being used today and still leading the industry.
