From 3D Scan to BIM in Hours… Not Weeks

The world of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) is undergoing a digital revolution. New tools and methods are changing how we design and build things. One of the biggest game-changers is the link between 3D scanning and Building Information Modeling (BIM). This lets us create BIM models much faster, saving time and money on projects.…

What are LOD (Levels of Development) in AEC?

Levels of Development (LOD) refer to a standardized framework for defining the amount of detail and accuracy that should be included in a building information model (BIM) at different stages of a project’s lifecycle. LOD 200 vs LOD 300… Why center on LOD200 and LOD300? Because both levels can be achieved through LiDAR 3D scanning…

5 Common Challenges When Creating As-Built Models Manually

In architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), As-Built Models are indispensable tools. These models serve as accurate representations of structures or systems after construction, crucial for maintenance, renovations, and future planning. However, creating these models by hand can be a complex and error-prone process, fraught with challenges that can compromise accuracy and efficiency. In this article,…
