How 3D-LiDAR Scanning Gives You an Advantage
LiDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) is used to capture the measurements of a physical space, such as stationary objects, structures, and landscapes.
LiDAR is used in projects such as:
- Floorplan generation
- As-built verification
- Scan-to-BIM workflows
- Existing conditions models
- Surveying
In just seconds, our 3D laser scanner can measure millions of points in three dimensions, giving it a cloud of single-point measurements, also known as a point cloud.
BENEFITS OF A 3D-SCAN
- Streamline documentation
- 3D-scan as-builts
- Collaborate with all parties
- REDUCE COSTS
INCORPORATE YOUR BIM PROCESS
Incorporate Your Building Information Modelling (BIM) Process
If you work in construction, architecture, or engineering, we can help you streamline documentation, 3D-scan as-builts, and collaborate with vendors and partners. We save you TIME, which also saves you MONEY.
Export Your Point Cloud
Easily capture, share, and render your point cloud data within Revit and other BIM tools.
Generate OBJ Files
Document your construction process through OBJ and point clouds for as-builts.
Quickly Scan Tight Areas
A 3D scan allows accurate measurements to be taken in hard-to-reach areas such as trusses, pipes, and beams.
Share your space with contractors and vendors
Allow third parties to view, measure, and comment on a digital twin of the 3D space, saving on travel and personnel costs.

LABEL
Labels are short descriptions you can associate with rooms in your 3D Space. You can use labels to do the following:
- Highlight important (or visually compelling) regions of your Space
- Show guests where amenities are located
- Provide square footage measurements on a per-room basis
- Mark where rooms will be built in the future (for use with construction projects)
- Mark specific and intricate parts of your Schematic Floor Plans

USE EXAMPLE
Pre-Drywall Capture of House
A local builder offers a valuable option to his customers. Prior to the installation of drywall, the builder has HPS Media 3D-scan new construction prior to the installation of drywall. The scanning process takes about one hour for a typical 2,000 sq ft home. The final 3D model is then shared with the new homeowner, who can then share it remotely with future contractors and designers, if needed. (see below for an example)
By referencing this 3D model, contractors who work on future repairs, renovations, and enhancements can complete their work with minimal intrusion into the finished walls, floors, and ceilings. Contractors will not have to break open numerous openings in the walls to find pipes, wires, conduit, and ductwork, thus saving the homeowner time, money, and headaches.
The Benefits of LiDAR Scanning in AEC
There are several benefits to using LiDAR scanning services. Hand measuring is the traditional methodology that dominated the field, just due to lack of technology. The process can be very laborious and calculation errors are common. Also, multiple site visits are required to get dimensions, extending the process. But, let’s just list a few benefits of LiDAR scanning:
Extremely Accurate Data Collection
LiDAR Scan-to-BIM services are extremely precise and provide the correct measurements the first time. Scanning is highly accurate as it builds the point cloud environment using laser beams to capture measurements and colors.
Save Significant Cost / Expenses
Because LiDAR scanning is incredibly accurate, discrepancies are found quickly and early on. LiDAR helps save costs through remote monitoring and inspection, project planning, enhanced administrative strategies, and tracking of different stages of a project. This reduces unnecessary trips to a project site, which ultimately reduce costs.
Eliminate Costly Site Visits and Save Time
When an accurate 3D model is delivered, the need to visit the site is removed, thus reducing unecessary expenses. Design and building professionals are then enabled to spend precious time on projects, rather than on the road between job sites.
Improved Coordination
When a site is scanned, the entire project team can use a singular model right from the start. This reduces mistakes by enabling all parties to use the same information.
