This course provides an overview of advanced surveying techniques and uses of interior and exterior laser scanning technology relative to the architecture field. With architectural projects, an immense level of detail is needed to make sure no inaccuracies or unseen issues arise. The precision and accuracy of 3D laser scanning captures full documentation of existing conditions.

Learning Objective 1:
You will learn how 3D laser scanning aids the process of architectural design from site survey, to monitoring construction progress, creating design models, and verifying as-built accuracy.

Learning Objective 2:
Participants will learn how to reduce measurement time. Complex architectural sites can be scanned in just a fraction of the time it would usually take for hand measurements.

Learning Objective 3:
You will be able to analyze the precision and accuracy of 3D laser scanning tools for the full documentation of existing conditions, making sure any and all misalignments are caught.

Learning Objective 4:
You will understand how the precision of laser scanning allows architects to work with the finer details of a jobsite without excessive traditional documentation.
