Illustration of an annotated facade photo, marked with this sample's Measured Points. A delivered pack uses the actual photos and scan of your storefront.

Scan variation on facade dimensions is typically half an inch to two inches, wider on glass. Not an instrument of record. Use Measured Points for anything your team will fabricate or price against.

Measured Points

Points listed by the client, each read at the stated tolerance class with the instrument and method shown, and marked in the photo set. Heights above reach were read with the laser from sidewalk level. A tolerance class is the class the client selected; it is not a promise that every entry falls within it.
