Join industry leaders Kelly Cone, Jim Bedrick, and John Russo as they unpack the relationship between Level of Accuracy (LOA) and Level of Development (LOD) in reality capture. This session introduces the brand-new joint BIMForum/USIBD publication, Procuring Reality Capture Services, and explores why clear specification is critical to project success.

Through real-world examples and practical guidance, you’ll gain clarity on how to effectively scope and deliver reality capture projects with confidence and precision.

What you’ll take away:

  • A clear explanation of the difference between LOA and LOD.

  • Best practices for scoping reality capture efforts.

  • Insight into why standards and clear communication reduce risk and improve outcomes.

Whether you’re an architect, engineer, surveyor, or owner’s rep, this session will equip you with the tools to set your reality capture projects up for success.
