In recent years, the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry has benefited greatly from growing GNSS accuracy, smaller laser scanners, UAVs, and more efficient management, collaboration and visualization software. We asked five companies operating in this space to address three questions:
- What are the key challenges of surveying for the AEC industry today, compared with traditional boundary surveying and other types of surveying?
- Which of your products are particularly relevant for this kind of surveying?
- What was a recent AEC surveying success story?
In the following articles, five companies briefly describe their experience with the AEC industry:
