The benefits of laser scanning in Architecture, Engineering and Construction are many – improved accuracy, access to immediate information, streamlined coordination and reduce costs and labour.
​
Conventional techniques of inventory and project mapping no longer keep up with today’s demand for immediate results. Laser scanning produces information quickly and with accuracy, increasing profitability on projects. Construction is all about the bottom line, it has been estimated that the use of the 3D scanning technology in comparison to conventional 2D scanning provides a cost savings of 50% due to the accelerated timeline.
​
One of the costliest portions of any job is the Construction Administration – reduce the number of physical site visits, and eliminate travel time, multiple site visits and needless meetings through periodic 3D scans. Not only does it facilitate quick and easy collaboration, but it expedites decision-making and allows remote site inspections. Attach 3D scans to Job Site Review Reports for a more accurate representation of site conditions than 2D photos. Easily tag deficiencies and make notes within the scan for consolidated communications.

In-Scan Tools
The in-scan tools expedite collaboration and processes. The tagging tool allows users to create visual punch lists by adding a short description to specific elements and/or including an external link for additional information. The ability to send links to specific positions within the 3D space reduces the time to achieve a resolution by easily communicating to stakeholders the issue, location and visual representation within one step. Easily create an equipment inventory by using tags to label equipment, documenting repairs, creating operation and maintenance manuals, or training information and ensuring your maintenance personnel are aware of the conditions and requirements.
