What is contractual 3D laser scanning?

Contractual 3D laser scanning is a service where professionals use laser scanning technology to capture precise, three-dimensional measurements of objects, buildings, or sites under a contractual agreement. This process creates detailed digital models that can be used for construction, engineering, architecture, or documentation purposes. Clients typically hire scanning specialists for specific projects, and the scope, deliverables, and timelines are defined in a contract. This ensures both parties understand the requirements and expectations for the scanning work.
