Your Secret Weapon: Digital Twins for Small Firms

Course Description:

This session addresses the unique challenges faced by small architecture firms in documenting existing building conditions, emphasizing the important role of accurate documentation in ensuring the health, safety, and welfare of building occupants. Small firms often rely on DIY methods due to limited staff and resources, which can lead to inaccuracies that compromise building safety and occupant well-being. This interactive presentation will examine how professional documentation services like advanced 3D laser scanning, CAD, and BIM and can mitigate these risks. By comparing DIY approaches with professional services, you will understand how precise documentation contributes to safer, more reliable building designs.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the benefits and drawbacks of DIY documentation methods versus professional services

• Explain the advanced technologies used in professional building documentation and its advantages

• Evaluate the cost versus proposition of professional documentation services for small architecture firms

• Implement strategies for selecting the right documentation provider to meet your specific project needs
