Laser Scanning for Beginners
Laser scanning may seem intimidating, but we can help you succeed outside your comfort zone! Read on to learn how and where to set up a laser scanner + register points with Leica Cyclone Register 360 on an iPad.
Using Reality Capture to Map Building Structure
The usage of point cloud data is becoming widely popular in the AEC industry. Most of the time we see scanning being used for renovation projects or the historical preservation of structures, however, this technology can also be used to record a structure’s underlined...
Using Targets for Laser Scanning
Many operations that require real-world coordinates still rely on targets, brass caps and nails. These operations mostly work with civil applications, but for applications for the AEC world, the use of targets has fallen due to recent progressions in modern laser...
How Small Trades Can Win Big Using Laser Scanners
Why are laser scanners becoming more popular on job sites? Remove all the technical jargon and big words, and laser scanners are simply a tool used to take fast, accurate measurements of objects or structures. Room dimensions, ft², window and door size/locations,...
5 Ways Laser Scanning Can Improve Your Next Construction Project
Are you still using the archaic phrase, “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” when it comes to adopting new technology in construction? Construction has been around for a while, and it is quite literally a building block of our society. While our society is advancing to a...

Licensed Architect
David has over 10 years of experience in the survey and mapping industry and has a genuine passion for turning reality into a digital playground. His father was a custom home architect, so David grew up around construction and drawings. He greatly appreciates the practice of mixing both creativity and logic.
David has a master’s degree in Geographic Information Systems and several undergraduate degrees. He has been using UAV and LiDAR technologies since 2014 when he began working as a field asset data collector. Within a year, he had developed that role into establishing a GIS department, an integral part of the company’s operations. David has performed reality capture services all over the country, successfully collecting, processing, manipulating and exporting the desired project deliverables.

After completing an Autodesk accredited 2-year course in Digital Design and Graphic technologies in 2012, Jhan became proficient in multiple Autodesk suits such as AutoCAD, Inventor, 3Ds Max and Revit, and has used this knowledge in his career for data infrastructure design, MEP design and special projects management.
Working on several special projects that required unique deliverables, Jhan was introduced to laser scanners in 2016 and designed several work pipelines using point cloud data. He has taken high-detail scans and converted those environments into mesh, allowing less powerful machines to view the data. Jhan also can embed point clouds into a game environment to easily share data, and he has even broadcasted entire sites and used them in developing technologies such as augmented reality.
“I believe reality capture and the development of using digital twins is very important, as this technology helps us mitigate costly mistakes, improves site safety and gives us better methods to preserve site data for both construction and historical purposes.”
