I have been using a BLK360 for year now. Accuracey is 1/16", great tool! I work on projects that are hours away. I make the trip and do a detailed scan of the project so I have every dimension collected in the point cloud 3D model with google streep map like 360 photos. I essentially come back to the office with the entire as built project in point cloud form with every measurement I could need. I really wish CA would add point cloud attachment into the program. As it is now I use Autodesk Recap and can quickly measure anything I need. I have not missed any measurements the require another site visit. I don't need to run around taking tones of pictures. I get others who make a trip to the site calling asking for measurements they did not get. The as built set comes together very quickly and move into design. I know others will say they still prefer to make the site visit and laser measure everything. Everyone has their prefered method. Go for it!
