Best Practices for Architects Working with
LiDAR Data

To gain maximum value, architects should apply structured practices when using LiDAR outputs. Proper integration enhances design efficiency and improves collaboration.

• Import data correctly – Ensure scans are processed into the right formats.
• Collaborate with teams – Share datasets across engineers and contractors.
• Validate models – Check that scans align with design specifications.
• Update regularly – Use repeat scans to track project progress.
• Use data strategically – Apply outputs for both immediate design and long-term facility management.

Following these practices ensures LiDAR data becomes a powerful tool throughout the architectural process.
