520			_aExamines the use of geomatics and surveying software to conduct measured building surveys. Illustrates how specifically written surveying software can be used to determine the amount of space within a building, refurbish the same office space and provide additional data for facilities managers. Compares the process of measuring buildings with software to traditional surveying methods and points out that software is simply a data collection tool and does not replace the fundamental principles of measuring buildings. However, digital data collection systems do have many advantages such as reducing office processing time and increasing productivity. Concludes by dispelling two myths; this kind of software does allow the required level of detail and can be used for all types of buildings. Diagrams.
