Ever wondered how a single person with a scanner can create a virtual copy of a construction site or building that everyone, from architects to contractors, can access on their screens?
In this beginner-friendly webinar by BD+C and FARO, you'll uncover:
What 3D laser scanners, 360° cameras and similar reality capture tools do, explained clearly and simply, jargon free.
How one scan captures the entire site in minutes, producing a virtual model stored in the cloud.
Why catching issues early, like misplaced pipes or walls, saves thousands before any building begins.
How cloud-based 3D models and 360° photos keep every stakeholder aligned, eliminating confusion and site visits.
Real-world ROI: discover how firms achieve 3-5x returns on scanning investments, slash travel by up to 50%, reduce rework by up to 65% and resolve issues 45% faster.
Whether you're new to AEC or exploring tech-driven workflows, this webinar offers practical steps to revolutionize how you build: faster, smarter and more cost-effective.
Secure your spot now and step confidently into the future of construction with 3D reality capture.
