The advent of BIM has paved the way for the introduction of http://www.leica-geosystems.com
new technologies that help visualize and simulate a proposed
structure before it is actually built. Reigl Lidar:

BIM also has significant impact on prolonging the life of the
structures by providing accurate as built drawings and site JTRS Registered Surveyor:
condition using 3D laser scanners. The as built BIM models http://jtrs.com.sg
has bi-directional link to major structural analysis and design
software to investigate capability of the existing building GPS Lands (Singapore) Pte Ltd:
