Choosing the Right Data Capture Tool for BIM
Above: This 3D image shows vertical measurements of the CUNY Applied Science Research Campus, where Bradford performed a 3D as-built measurement of all the recently constructed slab edges across six floors of the two new buildings. With the rise in demand for fast and accurate 3D construction information, laser scanning has become invaluable to many...
