We find and fix problems before they become expensive
ARC was founded with the belief that it should be guided by a few simple unchanging principles. We realize that our business goals will change as our company grows. However, we believe it is critical to be guided by a set of unchanging Core Values - the one thing that will always remain constant. It is these Core Values that guide us in our decision making at all levels throughout our organization:
Integrity

Honesty
We are truthful to our customers and ourselves
Responsiveness
We respond quickly
without delay
Excellence
We always strive for "better" in our quest to provide a phenomenal customer experience
The value we provide
By discovering unknown existing conditions we save our clients both time and money while reducing their risk and liability. Some owners, designers and contractors consider the documentation of existing conditions to be an added expense. However, many have come to realize that accurate existing conditions documentation is the best insurance policy to save themselves time and money. Often one change order related to unknown existing conditions can more than pay for the cost of the survey. However, by then it’s too late. Savvy clients have come to realize that a design based on invalidated record drawings is only as good as the drawings themselves.
ARC is expert in Building Documentation and through its years of experience has accumulated the knowledge of how to avoid becoming the victim of costly existing conditions expenses and delays.
I have always looked to ARC as an expert on matters related to 3D laser scanning and building documentation. ARC has always provided me with the straight-forward, objective answers and takes the time to thoroughly answer all of my questions."

ARC modeled a complex historic building for us. Both the quality of the as-built model and the model delivery meeting were master class. Our team was blown away. ARC was communicative throughout the process and pleasant to work with. ARC will be our go to resource for as-builts."
