Reconnaissance of land for site investigation: access points, limited clearance, traffic routes, compound and laydown area selection, waste/fly-tipping, areas of surface contamination, poorly drained ground

Pre-construction/site set-up stage: access points, limited clearance, traffic routes, locating site offices and parking areas

Construction: site layout planning, documenting construction progress, materials and waste storage area selection and monitoring, identifying on-site issues such as traffic route degradation, housekeeping, drainage problems

Demolition: planning and visualisation, access, progress monitoring, recyclable and non-recyclable waste segregation and stockpiling

Relative measurements of length, area and volume

Applications of 3D models:

Applications of 3D models:

Earthwork, slope and rock face failures: determine causes and mechanisms involved; planning of repair/remedial works

Construction: documenting construction progress, a model of the completed build

Demolition: visualisation of building/structure to aid in planning, methodology and risk assessment
