Building Surveying with Laser Scanning: An Overview
Posted by Kyle Skelson on
Building surveying with laser scanning is a specialized field that uses advanced technology to assess and inspect buildings. Laser scanning involves using a laser scanner to capture 3D images of buildings, which can then be analyzed to identify defects, measure dimensions, and assess the overall condition of the building. This technology is particularly useful in complex buildings or heritage buildings where traditional surveying methods may be challenging. Laser scanning technology has revolutionized the way building surveying is conducted, as it allows for a faster and more accurate assessment of buildings. The technology is particularly useful in identifying defects in hard-to-reach...
