How Laser Scanning Helps a Building Company Save Time and Money in the Field
The promise of field-accurate site conditions inside a 3D building information model is becoming a reality on construction sites and in early design discussions, thanks to better software import capabilities and newer, less-expensive field-scanning technologies.
Redshift previously discussed prefabrication and how small firms can play a key role in coordinating design and construction activities, and laser scanning is a tool that can enable a high level of coordination in construction. Import of a 3D point-cloud into Building Information Modeling (BIM) software has become easier to accomplish and more manageable for architects and construction professionals in the field, as laser-scanning equipment is both more accurate and cheaper than ever before.
