Many design firms still depend on manual measurements and fragmented outsourcing, but PRANCE stands out with its fully integrated approach.
We integrate on-site 3D laser scanning, design expertise, and total solution in supply chain , allowing us to take full control of every stage of the process, from measurement to final installation. This integrated model not only eliminates communication barriers and costly rework, but also ensures unparalleled accuracy and efficiency.
In this article, you will learn how our 3D laser scanning, design expertise, and integrated supply chain work together to deliver faster, smarter, and more accurate architectural solutions—especially for complex or large-scale projects.
PRANCE design provides a start-to-finish design process — from site data collection to fully detailed drawings and 3D visuals. Our goal is to deliver designs that are not just creative, but ready for construction.
Collecting accurate site data is a crucial first step in the design process. While it is often left to the client or local technician, we can send our own experienced technician to your project site to take precise measurements, ensuring accuracy from the very beginning.
We use both traditional tools like laser distance meters and measuring tapes, but also provide advanced 3D scanning technology for complex or large-scale projects.
To make the measurement more efficient, we have adopted the latest 3D laser scanning technology.
Compared to manual methods, 3D scanners offer:

Our 3D laser scanning technology captures highly accurate spatial data in a short time, including complex angles and fine details. It eliminates the need for repeated site visits, ensures a perfect design-to-installation match, and is especially valuable for renovation projects or sites without existing drawings. This level of precision and efficiency sets us apart from design firms that rely solely on manual measurements.
Scenario |
Why 3D Scanning Is Essential |
Renovation of old buildings without drawings |
Captures accurate as-built data when original plans are missing or outdated |
Complex or irregular structures |
Measures curved surfaces, domes, sloped roofs, and custom shapes with high precision |
Large-scale commercial spaces |
Rapidly captures full spatial layouts that would take days to measure manually |
High-accuracy installation requirements |
Ensures perfect fit for custom ceilings, facades, and modular components |
Uneven or natural outdoor terrain |
Provides detailed topographic data for planning landscaping, drainage, and layout |
Remote or overseas projects |
One-time scan avoids repeated site visits; full digital model available anytime |
Prefab or modular construction integration |
Aligns design, fabrication, and installation accurately with real-world site conditions |
Scenario |
Limitations of Traditional Surveying |
Complex Structure Measurement |
Difficulty in accurately measuring curved surfaces and special-shaped components |
Building Renovation |
Easily misses hidden structures, leading to construction conflicts |
Building Renovation |
Low efficiency of manual surveying with incomplete data |
Deformation Monitoring |
Only monitors discrete points without holistic analysis |
BIM Applications |
Relies on manual modeling with high error risks |
Using 3D scanning in these situations helps ensure the design is fully aligned with real site conditions, reducing errors and saving both time and cost later in the project.
After collecting the site data, our team delivers a comprehensive design package, including:
Complete technical drawings, such as:
We understand that every client is at a different stage of their project — and not everyone has a full package of drawings or documentation ready. That’s why PRANCE design offers flexible support tailored to your situation — even if you’re missing certain materials, we can still move your project forward.
Here’s how we handle different situations?
If all you have is a concept image or rendering, just provide us with that and some basic dimensions. We’ll handle the rest:
1. Create a buildable construction plan based on your design
2. Deliver technical drawings and a detailed cost breakdown, including:
Addition note: For façade or structural projects, we can also provide structural calculation reports by certified engineers (quoted based on project complexity)
Whether your drawings are complete or partial, we can work with what you have:
1. We will review the drawing completeness (including floor plans, elevations, detail drawings, etc.)
2. If complete:
We can calculate the product quantities, provide a quotation and deliver drawings upon confirmation
3. If incomplete:
We help move forward using available drawings
Additional note: We also provide rendering and animation services based on your drawings. These include animations to showcase the final visual effect, and installation animations that help you understand how the product is assembled—such as the one we created for our Disney project. Pricing depends on the complexity of the animation and the number of renderings required.
If you’ve only prepared a procurement list, we handle that too:
1. For standard products
2. For non-standard or customized products
So no matter what stage your project is at—whether you're starting with a concept or only have partial documents—PRANCE design is here to support you with flexible solutions that keep your project moving forward. Even if some information is missing, our team can help fill in the gaps and guide you through each step, ensuring a smooth and professional design experience.
At PRANCE Design, design is just the starting point. We understand that every element must be perfectly executed in order to turn a vision into reality. That's why our strong, integrated supply chain becomes your decisive advantage, providing you with a truly comprehensive solution.
Our capability to manage the entire project supply is best illustrated by our diverse portfolio:
We not only designed the façade of Lastoria Mall, we also provided the client with quality materials , including stone veneer, handrail railings, tiles, LED screens and etc. We also provided design services for the surrounding environment. We carefully planned tree placement, bonsai arrangements, sunshades, and ambient lighting to ensure that the exterior experience was unified with the building's interior and exterior styles and to enhance the customer experience.
For this complex interior, our scope encompassed far more than aesthetics. We provided a comprehensive solution, integrating critical systems like HVAC, air conditioning, sophisticated audio, and acoustic noise control, alongside furnishing the space with chairs, tables, and sofas. This project exemplifies our capacity to handle intricate technical requirements alongside fundamental furnishings – and much more beyond this list.
PRANCE is rooted in Foshan—the world-renowned manufacturing hub of China—where we are surrounded by top-tier factories producing everything from ceilings and cladding to furniture and lighting. Since 1996, our deep local presence has given us an unmatched understanding of production, allowing us to deliver integrated, cost-effective solutions with speed and precision.
With decades of experience and strong industry relationships, our founder John Huo has built a robust network of specialized manufacturers across Foshan and beyond. This gives us direct access to high-quality materials and custom products at significantly lower costs—advantages that are difficult to achieve without a local presence. As a result, we help clients reduce procurement expenses while ensuring consistent quality and reliable supply.
Our 20-strong professional procurement team is dedicated to rigorously vetting and selecting the optimal suppliers for your specific project needs, ensuring quality, reliability, and value alignment.
Additional note: A 3% service management fee applies to procurement coordination, covering supplier selection, quality control, and overall supply chain oversight.
