How Laser Scanning Helps a Building Company Save Time and Money in the Field

How Laser Scanning Helps a Building Company Save Time and Money in the Field

Technology

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.

Greater digital adoption could change how construction projects are procured, CM’s recent round table agreed.

Construction has a notoriously adversarial procurement culture, which many on our constructor panel agreed can be a barrier to BIM adoption – but some saw change on the horizon.

“BIM requires extra effort and suits early contractor involvement and collaborative working yet the contracts we have are exactly the opposite to that – they’re about achieving the cheapest possible price,” said Alex Jones, head of BIM and digital construction at Murphy.

Technology

Building information modeling (BIM) is permeating the AEC industry at an escalating rate to the point where corporations and even countries are choosing to mandate the platform for large-scale projects.

However, BIM is far from self-explanatory. It’s a rather complex concept that leaves people with a lot of questions. What is BIM? What can BIM do? How does BIM work? Each question has multiple answers, which opens the possibility for a wide range of misconceptions.

This can create a barrier for those trying to adopt BIM. Let’s see if we can clear the air on these misconceptions and answer some of these questions about BIM.
