Precision 3D Room Scans with Your Phone's LiDAR
Capture exact dimensions, generate instant floor plans, and eliminate manual measurements. All from a 60-second scan.
What is LiDAR Scanning?
Alcovia leverages the powerful LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor built into modern phones and tablets. By emitting laser pulses and measuring their return time, the app captures millions of data points to create a precise, three-dimensional map of any space. This point cloud data is then processed by our AI to produce a detailed spatial model.
For contractors, this means the end of manual, error-prone measurement methods. A quick 60-second sweep of the room is all it takes to get an auto-generated floor plan with accurate dimensions and a workable 3D model. No more tape measures, laser levels, or frustrating return trips to a job site for a forgotten measurement. It's a foundational tool for a faster, more accurate remodeling workflow.
A Simple, Three-Step Workflow
1. Scan the Room
Open the Alcovia app and slowly sweep your phone around the room for about 60 seconds. Our guide makes it easy.
2. Process the Data
Our cloud AI processes the LiDAR data, creating a precise 3D spatial model of the environment in minutes.
3. Get Your Assets
Instantly receive an auto-generated floor plan, accurate measurements, and a 3D model for your workflow.
Work Smarter, Not Harder
Eliminate Errors
Say goodbye to inaccurate tape measures and costly return trips for forgotten measurements. Trust the data.
Save Hours of Labor
What used to take hours of manual work now takes minutes, freeing up your team for more critical tasks.
Win More Bids
Impress clients with professional, data-backed proposals and interactive 3D models from the very first meeting.
From Scan to Plan
A clean, low-poly 3D model captures the room's structure.
The model is instantly converted into a detailed 2D floor plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our LiDAR scanning feature is compatible with iPhone 12 Pro and newer, and iPad Pro models with a LiDAR sensor. We are actively working on expanding support for Android devices with ToF (Time-of-Flight) sensors.
The measurements are highly accurate, typically within 1-2% of manual measurements. This level of precision is more than sufficient for initial estimates, material ordering, and layout planning, significantly reducing the risk of costly errors.
Yes. All generated assets, including floor plans (in PDF and DXF formats) and 3D models (in OBJ and GLB formats), can be easily exported and used in other design or CAD software. You can also share them directly with clients.
Yes, our AI is trained to distinguish between permanent structures (walls, floors, ceilings) and furniture. While an empty room provides the cleanest scan, the system effectively filters out most clutter to produce a usable spatial model.
It automates the tedious and error-prone process of manual measurement. A 60-second scan replaces hours of work with a tape measure and notepad, eliminates the need for return trips to the site for missed measurements, and provides a digital foundation for accurate material takeoffs and estimates.
