FAQs





In simple terms, what is 3D laser scanning?

There are a few steps in the process. First, we use a scanning device to gather an immense amount of data on the dimensions of a structure, be that a banquet hall, water tower, or historic building. Next, we piece that data together into readable “point clouds.” Finally, we provide clients with useful deliverables such as 3D models and sets of plans.


Why pay for 3D scanning when I could just hire someone to use tape measures and other handheld measuring devices?

While traditional measuring methods may be cheaper in the short term, they are universally less useful and valuable than 3D scans in the long run. 3D scans provide exponentially more data while eliminating nearly all human error. So you’ll have access to the most accurate and reliable data, you’ll cut down on potential change orders and other on-site expenses and delays, and you’ll be prepared for all manner of future projects with comprehensive structural information.
