Scanning Existing Conditions to Improve As-Built Models & Verify Design Intent

Accurate as-built documentation is the backbone of every successful construction project. Yet gaps between existing conditions and design intent continue to cause costly rework, delays, and miscommunication across teams.

In this one-hour webinar, we bring together scanning experts to show you exactly how laser scanning technology is being applied on real-world construction projects today. From verifying existing conditions before work begins to confirming installations match design specifications, you'll walk away with practical knowledge you can apply immediately and the confidence to choose the right scanning method for every situation.

What You Will Learn

Whether you're new to laser scanning or looking to expand how your team uses scan data, this session covers the full spectrum, from capture to deliverable.

  • Select the Right Scanning Method for Every Job: Understand the key differences between terrestrial LiDAR, SLAM LiDAR, and 3D Gaussian Splats and know when to use each one based on accuracy requirements, project timelines, and deliverable type.
  • Verify Existing Conditions & Design Intent: Discover how scan data is used as a quality control overlay, allowing teams to compare existing field conditions against design models and catch discrepancies before they become expensive problems.
  • Improve As-Built BIM Models: Learn how different capture methods feed into the creation of reliable, highly accurate BIM models across a range of building elements and project phases.
  • Collaborate Across Project Teams: Get practical guidance on how to communicate and share scan data effectively with Owners, Designers, and Contractors so everyone is working from the same ground truth.

Meet the Speaker: Ben Stocker

With 16 years in construction and 8 years specializing in laser scanning and reality capture, Ben leads R&D and implementation of emerging technologies at Skender, a Chicago-based general contracting firm. He works across field teams, VDC, and project leadership to ensure scanning workflows reduce risk, improve coordination, and deliver real project value.

Meet the Speaker: Owen Huisenga

Owen heads the BIM/VDC Department at Skender Construction, Chicago. With a background spanning architecture, virtual design, and onsite construction, he bridges the gap between Architect and Builder, leading design delivery from early planning through project completion while keeping communication seamless across all stakeholders.
