Choosing Between 2D Aerial Maps and 3D Models for Construction Planning

2D aerial maps offer a broad, data-light view suitable for initial site analysis and regulatory submissions, while 3D models enable detailed volumetric and clash detection for planning complex structures. The choice depends on project phase and depth of spatial understanding required, affecting early feasibility versus later design coordination.
