The Benefits of 3D Laser Scanning
- Fast, Accurate Data Collection: A single laser scan captures millions of 3D data points per second, eliminating human error and producing rich, detailed digital representations of buildings and sites.
- Record Exact Dimensions and Spatial Relationships: Point cloud datasets are dimensionally accurate, measurable, and shareable for precise planning and collaboration.
- Minimized Site Visits and Disruption: High-detail scans are completed quickly, reducing on-site disruption and limiting the need for return site visits.
- Accurate Design Plans: Reliable design plans are created from the start, expediting field work and reducing change orders, delays, and overall project costs.
- Enhanced Project Efficiency: Custom point clouds, CAD drawings, and BIM models tailored to your in-house templates minimize design revisions, support clash detection, and enable prefabrication.
- Improved Team Communication: Easily share data with architects, engineers, and contractors for informed decision-making and smooth construction coordination.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for construction, architecture, facility upgrades, historical preservation, and more, 3D laser scanning is a valuable tool across many industries.




Our 3D Laser Scanning Process
- Step 1: Mobilize: With nationwide service and fast mobilization, we partner with you to define the project scope, timeline, site conditions, equipment, and technical requirements to ensure the right 3D laser scanning solution for your project.
