He is currently working with clients including large public health trusts, universities, schools and councils, alongside private clients.
Robert is a founding member of the Construction Verification Initiative which was set up to promote and define the use of construction verification to improve as-built accuracy, quality and safety. He is well know as one of the leading experts in the practical application of verification. He is also an active member of Survey4BIM.
Surveying and real-world capture have gone through huge changes in the last five years. Laser scanning has got faster and more mobile and we have SPOT the robot dog. Photogrammetry has increased in accuracy to rival laser scans. Now we have Gaussian Splats to bring new capabilities to reality capture. With AI being used to deliver unassisted scan to BIM, where is this industry going next?
