SURVEYING THE SECTOR data and see what was done – bringing data to the table so everyone is on the same page and agree on what it looks like .
Having a shared visual and data-driven narrative is essential in aligning everyone ’ s efforts towards a common goal , enhancing collective efficiency and reducing conflicts and misunderstandings . With scan data in the cloud , non-technical stakeholders can see the real world and design together to make more informed decisions and foster trust . Designers can easily access existing conditions to inform their work and design of real world specs .
2D to 3D
Traditionally , reality capture has required specialised knowledge of the software and hardware – including terrestrial laser scanners and drones – to capture the data , but also of solutions to manage it and turn point clouds into meaningful information . As such , it has been challenging to share the data among key stakeholders because it required a powerful laptop to view the data due to the complexity and size of the data . Instead , information is often shared via emails with 2D screen shots and a narrative to go along with it . This approach devalues the reality capture information that is collected .
Trust issues
Now technology is raising the floor , making advanced technology accessible and user-friendly for all people working in construction . Surveyors are now able to share the high precision data in an environment that retains the original data and accuracy . Sharing the information in the cloud enables on-the-fly updates and interpretations , creating a single source of truth which is fundamental to the trust that is a cornerstone for successful collaboration and project execution . The absence of trust leads to a myriad of issues – from delays and cost overruns to compromised safety and quality .
Data democratisation
Trimble ’ s new Reality Capture Platform service is available as an extension to the Trimble
