Doug Higgins: From Hospitality to High Tech, Digitizing Commercial Real Estate

Old drawings in a box will not help you renovate. Doug Higgins learned that the hard way.

Doug managed resorts for a private equity group in San Diego. When it was time to renovate, all they had was a wheelbarrow full of old paper drawings. So he started Havitar, a company that turns real buildings into exact 3D models using laser scanners and drones.

In this episode, Bruce Bean and Doug talk about why old drawings are not enough, how exact a scan really is, how AI is starting to read old plans, and the one mistake that would have paid for a full 3D model.
