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.
Over to You:
The blog shares core reasons to use laser scanning technology for construction projects. It will always be a wise decision to use 3D scanning technology that holds the future of the entire construction industry. At Mars BIM you will find the team who will deliver the work as per the current market trade practice and with high-level of accuracy and precision.
