Getting the most accurate information for your project and ensuring to avoid issues can be complex, but in order to streamline the process without compromising accuracy, you can utilise the services of 3D laser scanning companies for your project. As 3D laser scanning increases in popularity across job sites today, we’ve outlined below what it is used for and how it can benefit your project.
Precise and intricate information
When preparing an application to council for a project, 3D laser scanning allows you to gain more detailed information about your project and its requirements. 3D laser scanning can provide intricate details using scans that make ‘“point clouds” of data measurements derived from the surface of objects and from photos, which are converted into a BIM model to provide accurate records for job sites and structures.
3D laser scans can also be used to make accurate surfaces and layouts for a project, and are suitable for use across various industries. With 3D laser scanning, everything from pipelines, mines, ships, and factories can be accurately mapped out, all without disrupting operations and saving time.
Improve workplace safety
When it comes to ensuring a job site is safe, 3D laser scanning can be used to precisely map out and inspect parts of the site such as roof cavities while detecting overall damages. A 3D laser scanner works by utilising a laser probe combined with specific software that allows it to project a laser across surfaces. It also includes sensor cameras that allow measurements, coordinates, shapes, and varying distances to be accurately captured. Since dangerous locations on a site won’t need to be accessed as they can be precisely mapped, this can improve workplace safety.
Better design and collaboration
In order for all your contractors and supervisors to be able to work with each other efficiently, it’s important your proposals are designed to accommodate that. With the accuracy offered by scans from 3D laser scanning companies, you can create design proposals that avoid overlap between contractors throughout the construction work with an efficient design that allows collaboration between workers.
Design validation
When it comes to crosschecking the quality of a building application before it is submitted to a council, 3D laser scanning can be used by contractors to make a 3D design of a project which can be compared to drawings or other models, in order to gain a better understanding of the project. On the 3D scans, colour codes can also be used in order for contractors to understand which areas require the most attention and what needs to be addressed overall in order to avoid problems further into the project.
Showing your site plans to stakeholders
For showing off a proposed design to stakeholders, 3D laser scanning can be used to better visualise how a finished project will look. Rather than presenting complicated building documents, with a 3D model, it becomes easier and quicker to convey how a project will look, especially if the stakeholders aren’t proficient in understanding building documents. 3D Laser scanning can make the surveying of intricate buildings much simpler while being versatile enough to be changed for client preferences and requests.
Building proposals and managing your site can be both costly and time-consuming, but with 3D laser scanning, you can simplify the process while having more control over how your project turns out due to the accuracy that a 3D model can provide. At Bimserve, being one of the few 3D laser scanning companies in Sydney, we understand the need for your project to run smoothly, which is why we stand by the benefits that 3D laser scanning offers architects and supervisors across Sydney job sites.
