Why LiDAR ?

Laser scanning is known to be the revolution in terms of accurate, comprhensive, detailed and fast approach to surveying projects.
Why spending time, money, manpower and resources in delivering a project with a more outdated and expensive technology such as point stake survey. A traditional survey practice that provides only ca.1 point every 5 meters VS thousands of point in the same distance. This is what makes laser surveys a no brainer choice.
