More than 85% of AEC companies believe reality capture is the FUTURE OF DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND FACILITIES MANAGEMENT.
IMPRESSIVE 3D LASER SCANNING TECHNOLOGY FOR ARCHITECTS.
BETTER COMMUNICATION … REDUCED RFI’s … ENHANCED DESIGN… FEWER ONSITE PROBLEMS
Site awareness for architects can be achieved with As-Built conditions. Laser scanning, BIM documentation, and software are key aspects for architects to deliver projects in a fraction of time. Managing every aspect of your project in 3D enables accurate, powerful, and efficient onsite documentation. Capture every angle of your spaces with the highest level of detail, and combine software intelligence to achieve actionable insights, proactive risk management, realistic progress reporting, and more. Architects can leverage these solutions to accommodate client timelines and achieve a quick project turnaround.

Schematic Design.
To remodel or add an existing space, the Point Cloud data helps build, refine, and efficiently communicate design ideas and build prototypes. From initial ...
... massing to complete renders, deliverables achieved from 3D laser scans are accurate, detailed, and clear.
Deliverables for schematic design include :
 Floor Plans
 Elevations
 Sections
 3D renders
 Site Plans

Design Development.
Software-driven 3D laser scanning enriched with visual intelligence can address problems early on in the design phase. Rework in the documentation of various systems like MEP plans can be reduced, whilst gaining greater accuracy. Multiple repetitive trips can be reduced or mitigated, this saves on resources and time. Pin-point precision enables architects to leverage finer project details of the job site without unnecessary documentation.
Deliverables for schematic design include :
 3D flythroughs
 Energy efficiency analysis
 Detailed renders
 Utility Schematics
More than 80% of AEC companies believe walkthroughs are great to COMMUNICATE ONSITE PERFORMANCE AND PROGRESS.
Improving Site Awareness For Architects.
Document As-Built Conditions
True Co-ordination
 Consistent 3D laser scanning deliverables connected through various data-points, BIM, and onsite photo documentation solutions
 Identification and resolution of project unknowns
 Deeper project transparency through communication and collaboration across onsite and offsite personnel
 Effective information management through efficient data gathering and tracking
 Better decision-making based on a coordinated design for greater project quality
 With complete construction intelligence through software, we adapt to As-Built conditions by leveraging our Point Cloud to BIM model and provide the most optimum solutions for reduced or no rework

Precise Documentation
 Document your project in real-time by integrating laser scan-to-BIM, 2D drawings, and onsite photographs on a unified cloud platform
 BIMe provides end-to-end services & tools to document every building component and compare it with point clouds and 3D BIM models
 Leverage project documentation, inspection reports, and change monitoring
Thorough Inspection
 Perform transparent site inspections with space and asset management, on-premise data, and more
 Manage project progress and reduce risks by documenting existing conditions and pre-close-in inspections
 Leverage accuracy and comparative analysis

As-Built Scan-to-BIM
 Translate your Point Clouds to BIM models but improve the project lifecycle by accessing critical information & data measurements, build As-Built documentation, connect field data, and more with AI-based software platforms
 3D Laser Scanning services offer complete dimensional control for new projects, renovations, and facilities management
 Devise workflows for 3D laser scanning that are supported by cutting-edge software and hardware tools to draw maximum efficiency from Scan-to-BIM

Generate Accurate Progress Reports
Real-time predictive analysis
 Instead of looking through outdated field documents or 2D plans, project stakeholders can leverage real-time conditions and visualization
 Visualize all your data points on a single screen, and track project progress with side-by-side comparisons
 comprehensive and accurate data visualization to connect 2D plans & point cloud models with photo documentation, manage project risks by documentation as-built conditions, link RFI’s to point clouds, and more
 Predictive analysis techniques help us analyze and identify every angle, corner, and space of the point cloud scan
 Our team identifies construction ambiguities or clashes between various building equipment or components that can create construction bottlenecks by overlapping the 3D model over the point cloud scan
 Integrate construction photography (3600) as a crucial link to enable & reinforce side-by-side validation of the model and point cloud with actual photographs

Accurate Bill Tracking
 Keep your projects within budget and achieve a greater ROI with visual validation
 Compare your laser scans with construction photographs or 3D models to substantiate existing onsite progress
 Enable key stakeholders to stay informed about invoice generation from various subcontractors

Proactive Risk Management
Field Co-ordination
 Consistent 3D laser scanning deliverables connected through various data-points, BIM, and onsite photo documentation solutions
 Identification and resolution of project unknowns
 Deeper project transparency through communication and collaboration across onsite and offsite personnel
 Effective information management through efficient data gathering and tracking
 Better decision-making based on a coordinated design for greater project quality
