5 Game-Changing Benefits of Drone Scan-to-BIM
Enhanced Accuracy
Capture millimeter-precise 3D data for flawless models
Cost Efficiency
Reduce on-site labor by up to 50% with automated scanning
Real-time Tracking
Monitor progress daily, catching issues before they escalate
Improved Coordination
Detect clashes early, saving up to 10% on rework costs
LiDAR vs. Photogrammetry: Choose Your Weapon
LiDAR
• High accuracy (±2mm)
• Works in low light
• Penetrates vegetation
Photogrammetry
• Cost-effective
• Captures color data
• Ideal for textures
