Why Point Cloud BIM Is Crucial for Accurate Renovation
Why Point Cloud BIM Is Crucial for Accurate Renovation Introduction to Renovation Challenges Uncertainty in Existing Building Data Renovation projects often begin with one fundamental challenge: incomplete or unreliable information about existing site conditions. Legacy plans, if available, can be outdated or inaccurate, failing to capture modifications made over time. This lack of precision introduces significant risk during the planning and design stages, as teams are forced to work with assumptions instead of verified data. These assumptions can result in design errors, spatial conflicts, or even regulatory setbacks. When a renovation hinges on millimetre-accurate alignment—such as when retrofitting mechanical systems or altering structural elements—guesswork simply won’t suffice. The earlier accurate data is introduced into the renovation workflow, the more predictable and efficient the project becomes. Common Pitfalls of Traditional Surveying Manual surveying techniques, inc...
