The podcast primarily focuses on the latest advancements in reality capture tools like drones, CAD, and scanning techniques, with episodes covering deliverables from reality capture, the use of drones in natural disaster response, and assessing benefits of these tools in varied industries including urban development and environmental monitoring.

At Site and Scene, co-hosts Mike Liggett and Scott Harrigan feature the innovators, disruptors, and changemakers using reality capture technology to drive real impact. These are the people who saw a problem, challenged the status quo, and took action—whether restoring ecosystems, improving resilience, or transforming infrastructure. They bring a deep sense of responsibility and stewardship to their work, leveraging technologies like drones, laser scanning, GIS, and mapping to create meaningful change. More than just experts, they are storytellers—sharing their journeys and the “why” behind their work. Our mission is to amplify their voices, educate, and inspire others to push boundaries and take action.
This was such an amazing and insightful conversation with Integrated Projects founder Jose Luis Cruz, Jr. and is a must listen!
With our insatiable digital appetites and a need to modernize and document our built environment, Integrated Projects is showing us the future by streamlining the Scan-to-BIM process. By combining 3D scanning, 3D modeling, and machine learning, BIM models are created with unprecedented accuracy, detail, and speed. We talk about how their approach is supporting the #AECO industry and solving for the challenges of today and the future. We also dive into a thought provoking conversation on funding structures to supercharge the scanning industry. Enjoy!
