Accuracy and Precision

Precision and accuracy are two important concepts in measurement and mapping. Precision refers to the consistency of repeated measurement results, while accuracy indicates how close the results are to the true value. A measurement can be very precise, but it is not necessarily accurate if the resulting value is far from the true value. In the context of surveying and mapping, a combination of high precision and good accuracy is crucial for producing reliable data that can be used in planning and decision-making.

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a technology-based process used to create and manage digital representations of the physical and functional characteristics of a building or infrastructure. BIM is more than just software, but rather an integrated methodology that enables cross-disciplinary collaboration between architects, engineers, contractors, and project owners within a single, integrated digital model.
