With affordable 3D LiDAR scanning options available today, why introduce risk to project stakeholders by solely relying on manual field measuring practices?
Field measuring buildings is a resource-intensive task associated with time and accessibility constraints, physical and mental challenges, as well as safety concerns that introduce risk to the accuracy of initial field documentation. As a result, lost billable hours that should have been directed towards design work are being spent confirming details that otherwise could have been captured via affordable 3D Reality Capture services.
Today’s 3D LiDAR scanning and panoramic photo technology serves as a quality assurance tool documenting existing conditions faster, and with greater accuracy, than traditional field measuring practices. Not only does this provide architects with a jump start into the design development phase, but it also creates a tool to manage risk throughout all other phases of the project.
Reality Capture is a fast-moving industry with various types of technology and software for documenting conditions. Different types of projects require different tools and techniques to maximize the efficiencies and reduce risk. One size does not fit all, bigger does not always result in better, and therefore requires a partner that is agile to the specific project needs.
This is the first in a series of articles intended to focus on the value of Affordable Reality Capture Services as a tool for reducing risk for all project stakeholders, throughout all phases of a facility’s lifecycle.
