Why Laser Scanning is Essential for Modern Architecture
posted 4th December 2024
Modern architecture is spectacular with its functional, yet sleek design, using innovative materials. Unlike period architecture that boasted ornate details, modern architecture is simple, yet harmonious and efficient. One of the keys to perfecting a modern architectural build is laser scanning.
3D laser scanners provide exact measurements. We do not mean approximate, or nearly, we are talking about accurate and precise. 3D modelling, along with digital mapping, improve the accuracy and efficiency of your project.
Understanding Modern Architecture
Modern architecture emphasises functionality and simplicity, using modern materials and building techniques. You know when you arrive in a modern property with their clean lines, open plan designs, and minimalist finish. They are made of concrete, glass, and steel, using energy-efficient technologies to power the home, reducing your impact on the environment.
Why is Laser Scanning So Important for Modern Architecture?
Laser surveying is very beneficial whether you want to build a modern home or renovate your existing modern architectural property. 3D laser scanning offers:
- Precise measurements - essential for the exacting standards needed in modern architecture
- Digital mapping - accurate representations of the building, enabling you to visualise the space. It is valuable during the planning phase for architects
- BIM integration - laser scanning can be integrated with Building Information Modelling (BIM), allowing for data management throughout the property's lifecycle, boosting efficiency
Residential Properties
Laser scanning is useful for modern residential properties, assisting with the design of indoor living spaces, complying with Building Regulations, and using the space available efficiently.
Commercial Properties
Laser scanning has proven valuable for commercial properties, ensuring proper space usage, along with ensuring structural integrity. These surveys can be used to optimise designs, while ensuring safety.
Industrial Properties
3D laser scanning enables the accurate mapping of complex and large-scale industrial projects, assisting with future expansions and efficient maintenance. Laser scanning helps when it comes to planning the installation of specialist equipment, ensuring everything fits accurately and safely within the space allocated.
Public Properties
Designing or upgrading a public building needs to be done with the greatest of scare, ensuring the space is safe, accessible and functional. Public properties include libraries, hospitals, and schools.
