Key Considerations Before Using LiDAR Imaging in Architecture

Architects planning to use LiDAR should evaluate a few important factors to maximize results. Preparing ahead of time ensures scans provide the most value for design projects.

• Project scope – Clarify whether you need full building scans, exterior mapping, or specific interiors.
• Software compatibility – Confirm deliverables align with your design platforms.
• Budget allocation – Understand how scanning costs scale with project size.
• Timeline needs – Schedule scans to avoid delays in planning.
• Data management – Plan storage and access for large digital files.

Considering these points helps architects achieve the best outcomes from their scans.
