You can always tell which contractors are ahead of the game—they’re the ones prepping in December while everyone else is still trying to find their hard hats after the holiday party.
Because here’s the truth: the best 2026 construction projects are already underway. Not with hammers and concrete yet, but with LiDAR scanning and digital planning that sets the stage for a faster, cleaner build come spring.
Why Waiting Costs You Time (and Money)
Every year, projects kick off with the same headache—outdated drawings, incomplete measurements, and last-minute design adjustments that derail schedules before the first crew even steps on site.
That chaos usually starts with bad data.
If your team’s still relying on tape measures, old blueprints, or a “close enough” site survey, you’re already building on shaky ground. LiDAR scanning fixes that by giving you a hyper-accurate 3D map of your site, down to the fraction of an inch.
It’s fast, it’s clean, and it replaces guesswork with geometry.
Why December Is the Perfect Time to Scan
Winter months aren’t wasted months—they’re planning gold. While fieldwork slows, design and coordination can move full speed ahead. Scanning your sites now means your architects, engineers, and subs can start modeling before the new year.
By January, your Revit model is ready, your BIM coordination is done, and your project starts with clarity instead of confusion.
No more waiting for surveys. No more redesigns halfway through.
