Working in the three-dimensional world has opened many doors in the effort to communicate design ideas with clients and contractors. High-definition surveying offers an impressive array of 3D deliverables that can be created quickly, and easily incorporated into presentations. The data is collected, in most cases, at half the time of conventional methods, and can later be reused as a base for design work. Consequentially, the unprecedented quantity and quality of the information collected facilitates the design process and helps reduce errors and omissions. Likewise, design firms can now exercise a higher level of quality assurance on-site through the construction process. Scanning at critical milestones of the project has proven to be beneficial for both scheduling and cost control.
In addition, final as-builts can be taken to the next level as "intelligent as-builts" and offered back to the client for asset management. Incorporating GIS technology a Building Information Model (BIM) can be created to incorporate three-dimensional scan data with databases full of information on the new construction. This trend is facilitating maintenance and future expansion planning and provides an invaluable tool to the client.

Accurate and complete information as a base for design work ensures confidence in the product and the assurance that construction will go smoothly. High-definition surveying provides a more complete understanding of existing conditions than traditional methods. Some of the benefits you can expect with High-definition surveying are:
