Principal
Cris Gebhardt is the principal of Datum Point Advisory. He brings more than twenty years of experience spanning project delivery, BIM/VDC, reality capture, and commercial real estate documentation. His work brings together an understanding of how buildings are designed and constructed with hands-on experience documenting existing properties.
Experience
Cris has contributed to BIM/VDC delivery on more than 50 projects, including model development for Hudson Yards. His experience includes developing structural models, coordinating with architects and steel fabricators, overseeing modeling teams, and establishing standards for building information used by project teams.
His reality capture and architectural photography experience spans a broad range of commercial properties, including office, warehouse, medical, and multifamily buildings. He has captured more than five million square feet across these assignments, using photography, aerial imagery, and interactive property documentation to record and communicate existing conditions.
Cris founded Datum Point Advisory from a longstanding interest in how buildings are developed, improved, and managed—and a conviction that reliable information is essential to those decisions. Incomplete or outdated records can create uncertainty for owners and project teams. Datum brings together his experience in construction, building technology, and commercial real estate to help clients establish documentation that meets a defined need and remains useful over time.
His approach is grounded in a simple principle: the building record belongs to the owner. Each engagement is shaped around the property, its available information, and how the resulting record will be used.
Cris is FAA Part 107 certified, with more than 500 hours of commercial flight time.
