I am working with a client on an historic building restoration. There is a 3D laser scanned file of the building available but it is saved in .fls & fle formats. Is there anyone out there ho would be able to open this file and export it to a Chief compatible format?

Vectorworks can open these types of files - but i'm not exactly sure what i'd save it back into in order to get to CA that is usable.  I'm all for trying to help if you can think of what I would export to.  My guess it it would have too many faces and artifacts for something other than the native file type.

It may indeed overwhelm my system but I need to get it into a Chief readable format first to find out.

its a Faro scan. Check this, maybe helpful I dunno, but it’s a starting point. 
you might use recap to dimension 

Thanks Rene, I'll check it out.
