3D Scanning for Improved MEP Work As an MEP contractor, you play a critical role in construction and remodeling. Because of the integral nature of MEP to a project's success, you also face unique risks. 3D laser scanning is a powerful solution that integrates into your current BIM processes to help you avoid some of the most troublesome challenges MEP contractors face. Today's 3D laser scanners are more intuitive and can be used by a range of construction professionals, including BIM designers, engineers, layout specialists, project managers, and work crews. Instead of relying on scanning specialists, those who need the data the most can gather it themselves with minimal training. You can avoid having to coordinate with specialists and build in extra time in the schedule to capture any missing data. Your team is able to collect accurate and complete data themselves the first time. With data at their fingertips, your team is able to make decisions and problem solve right in the field, helping to increase productivity and resolve issues upfront before they turn into extensive rework later. With an intuitive and self-calibrating 3D laser scanner your whole team can use, you're able to achieve greater accuracy, efficiency, and confidence than ever. And that translates to competitive advantage. Getting started with 3D scanning is easier than you think. To learn more, read the 3D Scanning Made Simple eBook. Ready to get started with scanning?
