Traditionally, building measurement in Türkiye, as in many other parts of the world, relied heavily on manual techniques. Surveyors would use tape measures, theodolites, and blueprint papers to record and analyze structural dimensions. These methods, while effective, were time-consuming, prone to human error, and often required multiple site visits to ensure accuracy.
FJDynamics brings LiDAR scanning technology to the realm of building measurement in Türkiye, empowering customers like Mr. Taner Tezcan to revolutionize building measurement in a smarter, safer, and faster way. This blog will dive into the story of Mr. Taner's journey with the FJD LiDAR scanner in his surveying business.
Customer Profile
Mr. Taner Tezcan has been a civil engineer for over 20 years after graduating from Sparta Süleyman Demir University in 2004. He started his own company in 2011, which mostly works with government projects (95% of their work) and a small number of private clients (5%).His team provide services in earthquake history, reinforcement, new construction applications, and design. They specializes in earthquake safety — studying past earthquakes, strengthening older buildings, designing new earthquake-resistant structures, and checking how safe buildings are. Because of his focus on earthquake protection and safety checks, his company does a lot of detailed measurements on buildings to ensure they’re strong and secure.
The Challenges with Traditional Measurements
At the beginning of their company operation, Mr. Taner and his team faced numerous challenges with the old ways of measuring buildings:- Step-by-step measuring: They used tapes and lasers to check every single spot in a building, which took a long time ranging from days even to months.
- Manual paper records: All measurements had to be written down by hand, making it easy to lose or mix up data.
- Mistakes happened often: Human mistakes led to errors that could ruin projects.
- Long site visits: Architects and engineers had to spend days away from the office to finish measurements and a lot of time to draw it up.
- Hard-to-measure buildings: Buildings with complex structures or designs made the job even slower.
- Delayed updates: For projects far away, they couldn't review data until workers returned to the office.
The Solution with the FJD Trion LiDAR Scanner
When Mr. Taner's company started using the FJD Trion LiDAR Scanner, it completely transformed how they worked. This high-tech device replaced old, complicated methods with something faster and far more accurate. Instead of relying on manual measurements or slow processes, the scanner lets the team create perfect 3D maps of buildings in minutes—all by simply walking through the spaces. As Mr. Taner put it, they were able to "frankly leave all of these (traditional methods) aside."The scanner makes surveying buildings almost effortless. His crews just set up the device, walk through rooms or neighborhoods, and let it scan everything automatically. Gone are the days of human mistakes—Mr. Taner proudly says "human error has been reduced to zero". What used to take hours (or even days) now happens in real time, with no need for complex calculations or double-checking. The scanner does all the hard work, turning messy manual tasks into a smooth, quick process.
One of the biggest benefits that impressed the team the most is how quickly the team can share data. As soon as a scan is done, the office team gets access to detailed 360-degree photos and colorized 3D models of the building—no waiting for staff to return from the field. This means projects move faster, decisions are made quicker, and everyone stays on the same page. The FJD scanner doesn't just save time; it creates a clear visual record of every job, making it easier to plan, collaborate, and deliver results.
Mr. Taner's company now relies heavily on the FJD Trion LiDAR Scanner, calling it a tool they can't work without. "It has become an indispensable part of our company. It is one of those things you cannot give up." He mentioned three key advantages of using the FJD scanner: it's extremely precise (measuring details down to just 3 centimeters), reduces the need to send engineers or architects to job sites, and gives architects instant access to all the data they need. This saves time and labor costs and makes measurements run smoother than before.
Regular Software Updates and Reliable Tech Support
Mr. Taner emphasizes that the FJDynamics software is just as critical as the hardware itself. He explains, "Software is as important as hardware. If the software is not good, no matter how perfect the hardware is, it will be useless. The fact that both are perfect is what makes this device stand out."He appreciated the regular updates of the FJD Trion Model, a software for point cloud processing that can be used on both PC and iPad. He also highlighted features like cloud-based data sharing, the ability to measure directly in the view interface, and regular updates that keep improving the user experience. These innovations make workflows smoother and more efficient than before.
Beyond the software, Mr. Taner credits FJD's technical support for helping his team unlock the scanner's full potential. "Every time we called, the response was very fast. Support was always provided," he said. This responsive assistance, combined with continuous firmware and software upgrades, ensures the tool evolves with his needs.
Embracing a Digital Future
By integrating the FJD LiDAR Scanner, Mr. Taner’s company has shifted from outdated manual measurements to streamlined digital workflows, unlocking significant competitive advantages. This transformation has enhanced measurement accuracy, accelerated project timelines, and simplified complex processes, proving that innovation is key to staying ahead. For architects and engineers struggling with inefficiency or errors in traditional methods, Mr. Taner's success proves the FJD Trion LiDAR Scanner is a real solution that changes the game.For free product demos and consultations, click here to contact us or connect with our local dealers in your region.
