If you want to save time, save money, save material waste and win downstream business for your construction company, consider 3D reality capture for your as-built documentation needs. When incorporated into your workflow, this technology alleviates the pain points that come from working with a tape measure and a red pencil.
Download this guide to learn about the data-driven solutions that can help you:
- Save time while maintaining or improving the quality of your as-built documentation.
- Gather data, measurements and 3D scans that are available to you any time.
- Share this 3D reality capture data with project stakeholders to make fast, informed decisions based on exact digital visualizations of your job site.
- Keep your company out of costly schedule delays and better protected in the unfortunate event of a project dispute.
- Speed up schedules and timelines, allowing your company to win more business downstream.
How to Reduce Costly Errors and Unhappy Surprises on the Job Site
3D reality capture tools will save your company hundreds and thousands of dollars — plus countless wasted hours on return trips to the job site — while guaranteeing a proper structural design and installation when you upgrade your as-built workflow.
With Traditional Methods
On renovation projects, use a tape measure and pencil to take the initial as-built measurements of the space you’ll be working on. The occasional error will be made due to poor handwriting or on-site distraction, necessitating return visits.
For project updates, use a cell phone to take 2D pictures of a job site. Put these pictures into a presentation to share with external stakeholders, other trade contractors and/or the end-customer.
If a project ends in dispute, rely on your handwritten drawings and old smartphone pictures as evidence.
Compete with other construction firms for business without a unique selling point — especially when those companies might be adopters of 3D reality capture tools.
After a project has been finished, walk the site with a tape measure and pencil to make “redline” drawings before you receive your final payment for the job. Other workers might need to be pulled away from their tasks to help take measurements.
With FARO 3D Technology
Take accurate measurements with a 3D laser scanner and obtain 24/7 access to a wealth of useful data that can be manipulated to suit your renovation project needs on the design software of your choice.
Share beautiful, accurate 3D renderings of your work progress with FARO software. There’s less need to waste time explaining context when sharing these digital visualizations of your physical work.
Share the exact 3D measurements you took on the job site in order to prove what you built, when you built it and how you did so for increased company protection.
Win that business yourself thanks to the differentiation 3D reality capture provides, plus the visualization and project management benefits for external stakeholders.
One person can take as-builts quickly and accurately with 3D reality capture tools, providing quality data at the end of the project to obtain your company’s final payout and increase the end-customer’s satisfaction.
