Choosing The Right 3D Scanning Tool: LiDAR, Thermography, or UAV

NKB leverages advanced scanning and sensing tools to enhance accuracy, mitigate risk, and inform critical decisions at the earliest stages of design. Because our projects often involve complex conditions and tight construction budgets, we rely on technologies that reveal concealed elements, capture existing conditions with high fidelity, and support the selection of the most efficient and cost‑effective design strategies.

The Nuances of Knowing Codes

When it comes to federal building design, applying the “right” building code isn’t simply a matter of referencing the latest edition on the shelf. Federal projects occupy a unique regulatory space – one that balances national consistency with local adaptation, agency-specific requirements, and overarching federal mandates. Understanding how these layers intersect is essential for architects and engineers navigating design compliance, ensuring not only that facilities meet technical and safety standards but also that they align with the complex hierarchy of federal and model building codes.
