Frequently Asked Questions
What is As-Built Documentation?
As-built documentation is an accurate set of record drawings for a project. They reflect all changes made during the construction process and show the exact dimensions, geometry, and location of all building elements and infrastructure.
Why Would An Architect Use 3D Laser Scanning?
An architect would use 3D laser scanning services to accurately capture the existing conditions of a building in a point cloud for design and renovation projects. From the point cloud, 2D CAD drawings and a 3D BIM model can be generated to access precise layout and measurements, visualize design changes, and identify potential issues, reducing the risk of errors, ultimately saving time and cost on the project.
How is CAD different from BIM?
CAD is technology and software designed to produce precise technical drawings —replacing manual hand-drawn and drafting techniques with a digital process. CAD is used in many fields, including architecture and engineering, to create accurate and efficient representations of sites.
BIM, or Building Information Modeling, is a process of visualizing a digital representation of a physical asset via the 3D model and includes richer levels of data, including information on materials and equipment. Architects, engineers, and construction managers can track and monitor a building through its entire lifecycle, from initial design to construction, operations, and maintenance. Project teams can collaborate, share information, and monitor project costs using BIM.
