QA/QC With 3D Scanning: Verify Before You Close the Ceiling

QA/QC With 3D Scanning: Verify Before You Close the Ceiling

Once the ceiling closes, the only way to verify what was installed is to open it back up. A pre-closeout scan creates a permanent, measurable record of the as-installed condition.

Overlaying that scan against the coordinated BIM model exposes every misalignment, missing hanger, or out-of-tolerance install before drywall hides it. Issues get punched while the trades are still mobilized.

For owners taking handover, the same scan becomes a high-fidelity asset record that supports facility management for the life of the building.
