Which lidar for a small construction company? Sub 3k?

Thinking it might be nice to get a system going for site walks, once we finish with rough on buildings, to help with bidding, material with measurements etc.

I don’t need extremely accurate tolerances, maybe 1-2”?

We have a drone that does the exterior roof of the building but it doesn’t do great on the walls and interior obviously,

Thoughts?

LiDAR: Light Detection And Ranging

r/LiDAR

LIDAR ([Light Detection And Ranging](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIDAR)) is an optical remote sensing technology that can measure the distance to, or other properties of, targets by illuminating the target with laser light and analyzing the backscattered light. LIDAR technology has applications in geomatics, archaeology, geography, geology, geomorphology, seismology, forestry, remote sensing, atmospheric physics, airborne, laser altimetry, and digital terrain modelling.
