Think about the challenges of working on older buildings ,you often don’t have accurate drawings or a clear idea of the structure’s current state. With 3D scanning, you can capture every detail of the existing building in just a few hours. The scanners generate a point cloud, which is essentially a digital replica of the structure, down to the millimeter. This allows architects and engineers to create precise 3D models that serve as a foundation for retrofitting. By working with exact dimensions, you can design components that fit seamlessly, avoiding the trial-and-error approach that can waste time and resources. Plus, any potential issues, like misalignments or clashes, can be identified in the early stages. This technology isn’t just about speed; it’s about accuracy and eliminating the unknowns that typically slow down renovation work. I would like to know your thoughts on adaptation of 3D laser scanning technology in your AEC workflow. Thank you.

3D scanning can significantly expedite renovation projects by providing accurate, real-time measurements of existing structures. This allows for precise as-built models that streamline the retrofitting process. With detailed 3D data, designers can ensure that new elements fit perfectly with the existing layout, reducing errors and rework. It also speeds up planning, as teams can work from accurate digital models rather than relying on manual measurements.
Thank you
