See inside your Custer home, long after drywall closes.
iLevel scans every framing and mechanical rough-in on your Custer custom home using 3D Vista before the walls close. The result is a permanent, navigable virtual walk-through of every wire, pipe, duct, and stud inside the home. Included in every project. Call (605) 638-3040.
As-built documentation on a Custer custom home.
Custer custom homes are not simple to document after the fact. A build in Custer often carries a well, a propane system, radiant heat, a complex HVAC setup built for elevation and cold-weather performance, long conduit runs to a detached garage or outbuilding, and sometimes a generator or solar backup. These are systems that a future renovating contractor, an insurance adjuster, or a buyer’s inspector will have to work around. Without documentation, they guess. Guessing means probe holes, exploratory demolition, and unnecessary risk to systems that cost a lot to install and more to repair.
iLevel scans every framing and mechanical rough-in before drywall goes up. At each milestone, an iLevel team member walks the home with a 360-degree camera and captures every room, every wall cavity, every mechanical penetration. The scans stitch together into a navigable 3D walk-through that looks like a real-estate virtual tour with the structural and mechanical systems fully exposed. The owner gets a browser link. No special software. The scans are hosted permanently and stay accessible for the life of the home.
For the out-of-state owner building in Custer, the scans serve a second purpose during the build itself. Instead of reviewing flat photos from a project manager update, the owner can virtually walk the home at every rough-in milestone, from any device, at any time. Layout questions, clearance questions, whether a wall actually needs to move before the tile and trim lock it in, get answered before drywall, when changes are inexpensive. The 3D scans have caught real decisions on multiple iLevel projects that would have been five-figure corrections after close-in.
There is no extra charge for as-built documentation on an iLevel project. It is part of the standard deliverable. Visit our gallery to see finished iLevel work across the Black Hills, or contact the team to start preconstruction planning.
Six systems that the scans cover on every Custer project.
Structural framing
Every stud, every header, every beam location captured before insulation and drywall. Custer builds often carry engineered lumber and heavy timber in elevated or complex roof sections. The scan shows exactly what is there, where it is, and how it was built.
Electrical rough-in
Every panel, every homerun, every circuit path documented in 3D. On a Custer build that may include a generator, a solar backup, EV charging, and a detached garage subpanel, the electrical scan is the single most useful record a future contractor or inspector will have.
Plumbing rough-in
Supply, drain, waste, and vent runs documented at rough-in. Custer builds with well-fed domestic water, pressure tanks, and radiant loops carry more plumbing than most. The scan records every run path so any future plumber or inspector knows what is behind the wall before opening it.
Mechanical HVAC
Duct trunk lines, branch runs, equipment locations, and mechanical room layout captured before close-in. Custer elevation and cold winters mean oversized or custom HVAC systems are common. The scan preserves the as-installed design regardless of what the equipment schedules on paper say.
Off-grid and specialty systems
Propane lines, radiant heat manifolds, whole-house generator connections, and water treatment equipment are all documented in the scan. These are the systems most likely to require service by a future contractor who was not part of the original build team.
Site utilities at the connection point
Where the well line enters the foundation, where the propane runs underground, where conduit from a detached building enters the main structure. Entry points and transition locations are captured in the scan so a future contractor working on utility service has a starting point, not a guessing game.

What is as-built documentation and why does it matter on a Custer custom home?
As-built documentation is a permanent record of every wire, pipe, duct, and stud inside your home, captured before drywall closes the walls. On a Custer custom home, where off-grid utilities, long runs of conduit, and complex mechanical systems are the norm, having that record means any future contractor, inspector, or renovation crew can work from facts instead of guesswork. iLevel uses 3D Vista scanning to produce a navigable virtual walk-through of every rough-in milestone. Included in every project, no extra charge.
When do the 3D Vista scans happen during the Custer build?
At every major rough-in milestone before drywall closes: post-framing, post-electrical rough-in, post-plumbing rough-in, and post-mechanical rough-in. Custer builds often include propane lines, well pump equipment, and complex HVAC for elevation and cold-weather performance, so there are more systems to document than on a standard in-town build. Each scan set is hosted permanently and delivered to the owner at project handoff.
How do out-of-state Custer owners use the scans during the build?
Most iLevel Custer clients are building from out of state and never set foot on site between milestones. The 3D Vista scans let owners virtually walk the home at every rough-in stage, room by room, from anywhere. Questions about wall placement, mechanical room clearance, or layout decisions get answered before drywall, when changes cost a fraction of what they cost after. The scans have caught real design decisions on multiple iLevel projects that would have been expensive to correct after close-in.
Can I share the Custer as-built scans with future contractors?
Yes, and that is exactly what they are for. The hosted scans belong to you. Share the link with anyone who needs to understand what is inside your walls: a Custer contractor doing a renovation 10 years from now, a buyer’s inspector, an insurance adjuster, or an electrician adding a circuit. The scans were captured to serve the home for its full lifetime.
Is as-built documentation an upsell or standard with every iLevel Custer build?
Standard on every project. iLevel includes 3D Vista as-built documentation as part of the base deliverable. The long-term value to the owner, especially on a complex Custer build with off-grid systems and remote management, is too high and the marginal cost too low for it to make sense as an add-on.
