F3 & Associates is an award-winning 3D laser scanning, land survey, GPR and BIM & VDC services provider to private and public sector clients in construction, health care, oil & gas, power generation and infrastructure. Our team includes professional land surveyors, laser scanning specialists, engineers and virtual design experts with more than 100 collective years of relevant experience. Founded in 2004, F3 has been privileged to serve and support more than 800 clients nationwide.

Founded in 2004 as a land surveying firm, F3 & Associates has quickly grown to over 50 employees in the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California, featuring world-class clients such as Google, Shell Oil, Chevron and Walt Disney Corporation. F3 currently owns two Leica ScanStation C10 Scanners and a P20 ScanStation Scanner and a full suite of Leica Geosystems point cloud software. F3 also utilizes a FARO Edge Arm and FARO Laser Tracker for our metrology workflow. Primary markets for the company's surveying and scanning services include industrial plants and buildings/BIM.

For decades industrial construction has been lagging behind by virtually every other business sector in using data management solutions and business intelligence to drive innovation. Realizing the opportunity, F3 has emerged as the leading provider of 3D data capture, measurement and visualization for the industrial sectors of energy, water, power and infrastructure. We work with the operators of our nation's largest structures and facilities to provide engineering support designed to improve decision making, minimize operational shutdowns, mitigate risks and ensure compliance.

The surveying profession goes back thousands of years and today covers a multitude of disciplines, beyond drawing boundaries. F3 is the ideal partner for as-built surveying that documents the location of industrial assets to construction surveying that guides the construction of new structures such as roads and bridges. We also deliver topographic surveys that locate natural and man-made features to deformation surveys that determine if a structure or object is changing shape or moving. The land surveying team at F3 has more than 300 years of combined experience solving the greatest challenges in angle and distance measurement, supporting all phases of commercial and public infrastructure development.
