Enhancing Construction site assessment & monitoring with technology in 2023
In the ever-evolving landscape of construction and surveying, technology has brought about transformative changes. The integration of advancements such as GPS, microprocessors, drones, laser scanning, and the Internet of Things (IoT) has significantly streamlined operations for project managers, builders, surveyors, and engineers within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sectors.One
Unlocking Efficiency in Engineering and Construction: The Role of Reality Capture in Project Management
In the world of engineering and construction, where accuracy and efficiency are paramount, embracing innovative technologies is crucial for success. One such technology that has revolutionised the industry is reality capture. Reality capture refers to the process of capturing and creating precise digital representations of physical objects, environments, buildings and
Comparing Aerial Drone Scanning and Ground-Based Laser Scanning
If you’re working on an AEC project that needs accurate spatial data, you have two main scanning options: send a drone up, or set up a laser scanner on the ground. Both produce point clouds. Both feed into CAD drawings, BIM models and digital twins. But they capture very different
How Digital Twin Technology Uses 3D Scan Data in Construction
A BIM model tells you what was planned. An as-built survey tells you what was built. A digital twin goes further: it tells you what’s happening right now, and what’s likely to happen next. By layering real-time sensor data onto a verified 3D model, digital twins provide construction and operations
Construction timelapse Costing Guide 2023 + Key Recommendations
Construction time lapse videos help AEC professionals summarise key events during the project and summarise a passage of time in a short period. Time lapse videos make for great communications and marketing material to inform stakeholders, the public and potential clients.Over the years, time lapse videos have become increasingly popular,
Unveiling the Process of GIS Mapping Services 2023
The construction industry has made significant strides from its past practices, where manual inspections were relied upon by builders and construction managers for gathering site information.Today, we are fortunate to have an array of cutting-edge technologies, such as GPS, laser scanners, drones, and other advanced tools, which facilitate efficient data
Construction Site Assessment & Monitoring Costing Guide 2023
Technology has changed the way we manage construction and surveying in drastic ways. With the improvements in GPS, microprocessors, drones, laser scanning and internet of things (IoT) we could assume life has been made easier for project managers, builders, surveyors and engineers in the AEC sectors. One area of construction that
Site Measure Up – What are the benefits, and why do it?
A construction project is more than just pouring concrete and hammering nails. It involves meticulous planning, coordination and execution. For the pre-construction stage, Architects use land surveys to gather important data about the property to prepare their designs and planning approvals. These surveys give architects insights into the subject property's current
Aerial Asset Inspection Costing Guide [Updated 2023]
Aerial asset inspections have completely changed the way we conduct assessments of difficult to reach positions, over water, at heights or underground. The days when engineers had to setup rope access or seek numerous approvals just to get a condition assessment are long gone. Also, the manual methods of hanging
22 Benefits of 3D laser scanning in Architecture and Construction
3D Laser scanning is among the most popular and effective methods to capture accurate site data. It offers architects and designers plenty of benefits over conventional surveying methods. Read on to know about the advantages of 3D laser scanning services and how it helps with effective 3D architectural visualisation. Table of
