5 AEC Trends in 2025 That Make Accurate As-Built Plans More Essential Than Ever
Introduction The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is evolving faster than ever in 2025. Across the UK, Ireland, and the US, firms are embracing digital construction workflows and sustainable practices that all point to one need: highly accurate as-built plans. Whether you’re an architect in London, a contractor in New York, or a facility […]
Digital Twins: From Buzzword to Business Imperative
Digital twin technology might have started as a buzzword, but today it’s transforming the construction and building management industry. In simple terms, a digital twin is a virtual 3D replica of a physical building used to monitor, simulate, and manage the real structure. For professionals in architecture and construction, as well as property owners, it […]
Measured Surveys: The Key to Accurate As-Built Drawings and Successful Projects
Ever tried renovating a property only to find the old blueprints are misleading or incomplete? It’s a common nightmare. Without accurate, up-to-date documentation of a building, even the best architects and builders are essentially guessing – and that guesswork can lead to miscalculations, delays, and expensive rework geomaus.com. Measured surveys are the modern solution to […]
Office-to-Residential Conversions in 2025: Why Scan-to-BIM Is the Game-Changer for Renovation Projects
