Scan to BIM technology is indispensable for saving time and money of renovation projects! Before going any further into the topic, I have a question for my readers and that is how valuable is time and money for all of you? Well, when it comes to me I would say time is priceless for me and it is sort of a bit important than money as money can be earned but not the time. You can always hope of earning money but you can’t even imagine getting back the time that is gone, it never comes back no matter what you do.
People associated with Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry are well aware of the complications that are faced by design and construction professionals while dealing with a renovation and retrofit projects. The complications involved in the process kills the time and efforts of architects and engineers to a great extent so to eliminate such difficulties and problems application or implementation of right technology is quite essential. And that is where scan to BIM technology comes into picture. This is the most suitable
technology that deals with the countless technicalities that are associated with the measurement of dimensions of the as-built structure. When it comes to the renovation of heavy structures such as bridges, flyovers, or religious monuments etc, their thought is enough to provide significant amount of stress to AEC professionals considering the fact that too many complications are inevitable in the process. And this is where scan to BIM process becomes a leader in sorting out the complications of the entire process. Today laser scanning technology is used for surveying heavy structures, whose manual surveying along with development of drawings otherwise could take many weeks. But laser scanning technology accomplishes the task of surveying the structure really fast without demanding much effort and time from AEC professionals. Huge structures can be scanned in substantially short time. The scanned data which is redeemed with the support of laser beams that are directed to the as-built structure from highly potential laser scanners is used for developing 3D models for the building meant to be renovated. Accurate BIM models are developed very quickly by the proficient modelers of service providing company, which provide clarity regarding the geometry of the as-built to construction professionals. Since all the doubts regarding the existing conditions of the building are clarified to AEC professionals with the assistance of point cloud data, execution of renovation process becomes really painless. It saves time as scanning of the building can be done quickly through laser scanners and it also saves money as cost effective scan to BIM services can be hired easily by the contractors.
