Laser Scanning Adoption in Construction

Laser scanning is one of the most-precise methods of reality capture in construction.

The technology enables contractors and designers to capture as-built dimensions through “point clouds” that can be directly imported into design programs for immediate use, reducing the hours needed to survey a jobsite manually as well as improving accuracy, which ultimately lowers the need for costly re-work.

Despite the precision and power of laser scanning technology, it remains vastly underutilized in the construction industry, according to Matthew Byrd, president of Nexus 3D Consulting in Boise, Idaho. “My guess right now would be that 10% of the overall market is actively using these technologies,” he said.

Why?

The reasons are manyfold, said Byrd, whose firm specializes in implementing 3-D reality capture solutions and geo-spatial technology on construction projects across the United States.
