When LiDAR Is Preferred Over Manual Measurement

Manual measurement methods can be limited by access, human error, and time constraints. In many situations, LiDAR offers a more dependable alternative.

LiDAR is often preferred when:

• Spaces are complex– Irregular layouts are captured more accurately through scanning.
• Time is limited – Large areas can be documented faster than manual methods allow.
• Accuracy is critical – Laser measurements reduce inconsistencies between datasets.
• Remote access is needed – Data can be reviewed without returning to the site.

Choosing LiDAR over manual measurement helps reduce rework and improves confidence in the collected data.
