We’re excited to invite you to the next Scan to BIM University (STBU) webinar, presented by USIBD and BIMForum, focused on how to use LOA and LOD to specify reality capture services.

In this session we’ll introduce a new joint BIMForum/USIBD publication:

Procuring Reality Capture Services

We’ll break down what Level of Accuracy (LOA) and Level of Development (LOD) mean in reality capture, how to apply them to effectively scope a reality capture effort, and why clear specification is critical to the success of reality capture and Scan to BIM deliverables.

Whether you’re an architect, engineer, surveyor, or owner representative, this session will equip you with practical knowledge to set your reality capture projects up for success.

Presented by

• John M. Russo, Architect – Founder of USIBD, Chair of the LOA Subcommittee, and President of Architectural Resource Consultants (ARC)
• Jim Bedrick, FAIA – Principal at AEC Process Engineering and Chair of the BIMForum LOD Working Group

What You’ll Learn:

• Explain the difference between LOA and LOD
• Use LOA and LOD to scope reality capture and Scan to BIM efforts
• Articulate the risks that arise when a reality capture effort is not properly specified
• Identify the resources available for scoping reality capture and Scan to BIM efforts
