3D Laser Scanning Speeds Up Building Condition Surveys

Building Surveys emerged as a profession in the 1970’s and originated in the United Kingdom. Since that time it has become a well known profession that consists mostly of experienced surveyors. It is these surveyors that are being increasingly employed at all levels of the construction process. These building surveyors undertake a wide array of tasks such as: construction design, building works, project management and building surveys.

It is these building surveys that can be critical to the entire construction process. Not only does the documentation need to be accurate but it usually requires a timely delivery. An article on facilitiesnet.com discusses the advantages of using laser scanning technology in the surveying process. As it highlights the speediness of the technology, it is important to note that the FARO Laser Scanner Photon is the fastest phase-shift based laser scanner in the marketplace. With 976,000 points captured per second, the Photon is able to produce detailed point clouds up to 120 meters. Surveyors, who understand the importance of accuracy and saving time, rely on the Photon to enhance the building process.
