Join industry leaders from USIBD, VDCO Tech, and ARC for a high-impact session on how to ensure laser scan data is captured, contracted, and validated correctly.

This webinar breaks down why scans often become unusable—and how clearer procurement language, better validation workflows, and stronger interdisciplinary alignment can prevent costly project setbacks.

What You’ll Learn

  • How procurement language affects data usability

  • Key clauses to include in Scan-to-BIM contracts

  • Practical validation workflows that build trust

  • Why scans sometimes go unused (real case examples)

  • How to apply USIBD standards to protect your project

Learn how to set your projects up for success with clear expectations, defined responsibilities, and trustworthy scan data.
