A point cloud can be defined as "a collection of data points in space produced by 3D scanners." Laser scanners capture an accurate as-built scan of an area, which we then use to draw the existing structure with the exact dimensions and specifications. The information captured in this scan is then turned into a ...

BIM is the foundation of digital transformation in the built environment. This means it has opened up many possibilities for surveyors. In the past, surveying relied on 2D topographic surveys, elevations and floor plans, whereas nowadays, it has moved on to 3D intelligent models, last scanning, point clouds and UAV photogrammetry. The following significant ...

BIM (Building Information Modelling) is one of the biggest opportunities that surveyors have had presented to them in many years. The model-based approach combines both processes and technologies to support the efficient creation and use of information for construction and building operations. Add to this its strong use of spatial information, and you can ...
