PBC Today, in partnership with FARO Technologies, is pleased to announce a new webinar titled “3D Laser Scanning: Your Site on Screen: How Simple Scans Prevent Costly Mistakes in Construction”
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?
This one-hour, beginner-friendly session will explore how cutting-edge reality capture tools—such as 3D laser scanners and 360° imaging—can transform conventional construction workflows by creating immersive, accurate virtual models accessible to teams across design, engineering, and site execution.
Why attend?
- Clarity over complexity — The webinar explains what 3D laser scanning, 360° cameras, and other reality capture tools are, using plain language and minimal jargon.
- Speed & scale — Learn how a single scan can virtually capture an entire site in minutes and deliver a digital twin stored in the cloud.
- Risk mitigation & cost control — Early detection of misalignments or clashes (e.g. pipes, walls) can prevent thousands of pounds in rework before construction begins.
- Improved communication — Shared 3D models and 360° images unify stakeholders and reduce misunderstandings and unnecessary site visits.
- ROI insights — Hear real-world cases showing firms achieving 3–5× returns on scanning investments, halving travel needs, cutting rework by up to 65%, and resolving issues up to 45% faster.
