What the client expects
An as-built brief usually wants measurable geometry on a known datum, not a pretty fly-through. Agree elevation, coordinate system and what counts as complete before you promise a date.
Application
As-built surveying
Walk-through as-builts that hold up to a survey brief.
Talk to the people who use this gear every week, not a call centre.

Basics
What to know before you buy
Control without a circus
viDoc handles point pickup and geo-tagged photos. C1 Pro walks the spaces a total station would burn a day on. Use both when the job mixes detail and volume.
Common miss
Leaving site without checking coverage. Missed rooms stay missing. Build a loop habit into the first job and keep it.

Questions for this job
Can handheld replace a total station for as-builts?
For many interior and plant jobs, yes for the bulk of the measure. Critical tolerances and occluded services still get a targeted check.
Do I need C1 Pro or is C1 enough?
C1 if you already run control you trust. C1 Pro when outdoor legs need AUSCORS NTRIP on the same walk.
Where does viDoc fit?
Control, detail pickup and light as-builts. Pair it with C1 Pro when the walk needs density and the points need centimetres.
Can we merge with drone data?
Yes. RTK-georeferenced handheld clouds sit in the same project as aerial data when the coordinate strategy is clean.
