5 reasons to use Laser Scanning in Construction
To create a comprehensive point cloud, the technique used is Laser Scanning Services. The work of laser scanners is worked up by using a laser beam to capture necessary information that represents the digital information about an object.
The construction industry has seen a drastic change with the use of laser scanning technology. The work and process have seen tremendous growth in the construction sector. Today in this blog we are sharing core reasons to use laser scanning technologies in the construction sector.
3D laser scanning technology is the art of work that has taken off the world of design to the next level. Not only this the work of 3D laser scanning is undertaken in the business sector of aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing units. But yes, when talking about the construction industry, this technology is underutilized.
While there are other benefits also associated with the technology, what we are discussing are the five main reasons for using laser scanning technology in construction. It is the process that helps the contractors, sub-contractors, and project managers to get the data easily and stand away from the crowded space.
High and Increased Accuracy
The demand from AEC companies across the globe is to have accurate data on the project, which leads them to the resourceful outcomes at the construction site. It is the core responsibility of the companies to work on the project design and drawings and along with that integrate the required software and technology. Having this phase of the work involved in the project, the final delivery of the project has a high level of accuracy. Based on the current market strategy and trade practices, approx 70% to 80% of project valuation is increased and is as per the expectation of the clients.
Risk Mitigation
The construction project is one of the most complicated projects that are time-consuming and undergoes a vast change. Here if the team uses the traditional method of measuring the area or surface of the site, it will require teams of 6-8 field workers. It will not be a convenient process and will be leading to an injury that will be at a higher risk. Hence, to avoid these risks and issues, the team follows using 2D scanning technology. Here with the integration of this technology, it will be of no use to have ladders or scaffolding.
The art of laser scanning is to capture the entire area of the site in one go along with precise measurements and with a reach of high ceilings and ductworks which are far from human reach. With one person who is assigned to the project work of using laser scanning technology, the team will have safety at the site with MEP BIM Modeling by the highest accuracy.
Increase in Speed
Being a project owner, they demand to have the highest level of accuracy in the project and along with that timely delivery of it. The core reason for it is to have the project completed within the deadline. If working on the same traditional method, the issue of getting the project work speed up is a concern. But with Laser Scanning technology, it is all possible and the final outcome of the project is way beyond the expectation of the client. Not only does this by capturing millions of data points, but the laser scanner developed can also be used once a week and even once a month.
Reduction in Cost
With the use of Faro Laser Scanning Services, the overall cost of the project is reduced to a great extent. It is all possible with the help of the use of the latest technology and software. The project cost that gets increased has multiple reasons for it. But for every concern, there is a solution too. The team here uses the technology of 3D laser scanning that helps reduce additional costs of the project that are completely irrelevant. Also, with proper planning and phase to integrate the work effectively the team always has an option to prevent these costly disruptions.
Better Coordination
Companies across the globe who are working on a remote base will come across this issue in which they will find an increase in cost for employees who have to visit the construction site. But with the help of 3D scan to revit model technology and creating 3D virtual data of the model, the engineer no matter staying in whichever part of the country can access and check the data.
This step is incredible and has delivered a fantastic outcome for the project. Also, with these 3D models, the team has better collaboration and coordination between them which helps complete the project in time.

Best Things to Do in Marrakech With Kids by Morocco Family Vacation
Before visiting Marrakech, I worried it might be “too much” for kids. Too busy. Too loud. Too intense. As a mom, those concerns are always front and center. I imagined crowded streets, nonstop noise, and my kids becoming overwhelmed before we even found our rhythm. What I learned instead was that Marrakech can be incredibly family-friendly if you approach it the right way. This city isn’t designed for rushing. It rewards slow travel, flexibility, and seeing everything through a child’s perspective. Once we stopped trying to “see it all” and focused on how our kids were feeling, Marrakech transformed from intimidating to magical. Timing Is Everything in Marrakech One of the biggest lessons we learned was when to explore. Early mornings and late afternoons were magical. The city felt calmer, the light was softer, and the streets were easier to navigate with children. Midday, on the other hand, was best reserved for rest. We learned quickly that pushing through the heat and crowds only led to tired kids and stressed parents. Once we adjusted our rhythm sightseeing in the morning, relaxing at midday, and going out again later everything felt easier. The kids were happier, and so were we. Jemaa el-fnaa: Short Visits, Big Memories Jemaa el-Fnaa was one of the places I was most nervous about. It’s famous for its energy, but that can feel overwhelming with kids. Instead of diving in headfirst, we approached it slowly. We didn’t rush into the main square. We visited briefly, stood on the edges, and let the kids observe at their own pace. They were fascinated by: The musicians and drummers Storytellers surrounded by small crowds Fresh orange juice stands being squeezed right in front of them We treated it like a short experience rather than a long stay. When we felt the energy shifting toward overload, we left — and that made all the difference. Jemaa el-Fnaa became exciting instead of exhausting. Majorelle Garden: A Calm Reset After the medina, Majorelle Garden felt like a sanctuary. The bold blue buildings, exotic plants, and open pathways gave the kids space to explore quietly without worrying about traffic or crowds. For the first time that day, everyone slowed down naturally. It was one of the few places where all of us relaxed instantly. The kids wandered, pointed out plants, and asked questions. I realized how important it was to balance busy areas with peaceful ones. Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride This simple activity became a highlight of our time in Marrakech. The horse-drawn carriage ride allowed the kids to see the city without walking endlessly. They loved the gentle rhythm of the ride, waving at people as we passed by. For us, it was a chance to rest while still experiencing the city. It also helped us understand the layout of Marrakech without stress. Seeing neighborhoods from a distance gave us confidence for later walks. Cooking Classes That Include Kids A short Moroccan cooking experience turned into an unexpected favorite. The kids helped mix ingredients, shape dough, and taste what they made. They were proud of their involvement and suddenly much more interested in Moroccan food than before. It wasn’t just fun it changed their mindset. Instead of being hesitant about unfamiliar dishes, they were curious and excited. Meals became something they looked forward to, not worried about. Riads: Perfect for Families Staying in a riad completely changed our experience. The courtyards provided quiet space after busy days. The fountains fascinated the kids, and the enclosed layout made everything feel safe and contained. Evenings were calm, which helped the kids wind down naturally. It felt personal and peaceful exactly what families need after navigating a lively city. Souks as a Game, Not a Task Instead of serious shopping, we turned souk visits into small adventures. We made it into a game: Spot the brightest lantern Choose one small souvenir each Guess spices by smell This approach kept the kids engaged and prevented meltdowns. The souks stopped feeling chaotic and started feeling playful. What We Chose Not to Do Just as important as what we did was what we skipped. We avoided: Overpacked itineraries Late nights Long walks without breaks We learned that saying no to certain activities meant saying yes to better moments as a family. Planning Marrakech with kids takes experience. Having guidance from the company we booked with helped us avoid common mistakes and choose activities that matched our family’s pace instead of fighting against it. Final Thoughts Marrakech isn’t chaotic when you slow it down. With kids, it becomes colorful, musical, and surprisingly gentle. By choosing the right moments, pacing our days carefully, and listening to our children’s energy levels, Marrakech became one of the most rewarding cities we’ve ever visited together not despite traveling with kids, but because of it.
