If architecture is our soul, infused into the environment...
How can we
protect
these assets?
We could take pictures...
I know...letʼs use a laser
Why use a laser?
It measures EVERY detail
You get a complete “picture” of the design
Everything is presented in 3D
Itʼs FAST
Your Laser Scanning Glossary

3D Rendering
It works inside and outside
Finally, capture street scapes
Digital Documentation is NOW possible!
It never hurts to have a little insurance.
Itʼs as effective onsmall sites
as it is on BIG sites
Scan Now. Process Later.
It gives your patrons a new way to experience your site...
...and helps you tell your story
to a wider audience
Isnʼt that the point?
