Reality Capture in Active Construction Environments

Construction sites are constantly in motion. Structures go up, conditions change, and the window to document accurate as-built conditions is often narrow. Reality capture technologies including lidar, photogrammetry, and mobile scanning are giving project teams new ways to track progress, verify work against design intent, and catch costly discrepancies before they become change orders. But deploying these tools on an active jobsite is not straightforward. Coordinating data collection around live trades, managing point cloud data at scale, and getting that information to the people who need it are problems every team solves differently. This webinar brings together geospatial professionals and AEC practitioners to explore what reality capture looks like in practice on active construction sites, where it is delivering clear value, and what still needs to improve for wider adoption across the industry.

Who is this for:

This webinar is designed for construction project managers, BIM coordinators, and AEC professionals curious about how reality capture fits into active project workflows. It is also relevant for surveyors, lidar technicians, and geospatial professionals who work on or are moving into construction environments and want to better understand how their work connects to the broader project team.

What you will learn:

• How construction teams are integrating lidar, photogrammetry, and mobile scanning into active jobsite workflows.
• What the practical challenges look like when deploying reality capture on a live site and how teams are solving them.
• How captured data moves from the field into BIM environments and where that handoff tends to break down.
• Where reality capture is delivering measurable value on construction projects today.
• What geospatial and AEC professionals need to understand about each other's workflows to make these projects succeed.
