3D Scanning in the time of COVID-19

7/13/2020

0 Comments

 
COVID-19 has become a huge game-changer for all the industries, with construction not being the exception. In the midst of uncertainty, pretty much every architecture firm in America -not to say the entire planet- has decided to close their offices and have their staffs indefinitely work from home under two hankerings that are transversal: assurance of personal safety and safeguard of productivity. Under such critical guidelines, routine tasks that require deployment of personnel to the job site pose a risk to the logistic and sanitary protocols on which the prompt return to 'normal' conditions depends on. As-built surveying and field verification/assessment are good examples of such essential and unavoidably in-person tasks. Accurate Building Backgrounds are the key starting phase in the design process, and that is where technology can really come into play in the context of a pandemic crisis like the one we are living today.

In a time of questions, we are bringing answers. By means of state-of-the art 3D scanning technology powered by 3DJAB, one of our sister companies, a team of highly trained technicians can digitally capture and document the existing conditions of any building or interior space with a level of detail and accuracy that will blow your mind, in a fraction of the time of traditional surveying (generally one single visit suffice even for large areas), with a far less obtrusive activity on-site, and for a fee adjusted to the dire financial circumstances. Best of all, the scanning and documentation processes get completed while your staff work safely and uninterruptedly from home.

​In addition to a fully updated and highly precise BIM or CAD background adapted to your template and custom standards, we can deliver a point cloud compatible with every major design software as well as a set of 4K photos and a virtual photographic 3D model that you and any authorized members of your team can remotely access, visualize, measure, and tour at anytime and from anywhere via computer, tablet or smartphone. Basically, we provide you with full access to the building or space from anywhere, at anytime, for as long as needed for reference during the entire design phase without the need of repeated job visits. As a matter of fact, since the start of the pandemic some of our clients have completed their designs from start to finish without having even set a foot on the job site, all by means of our capture and documentation technologies. If at any point they needed to double check on an existing condition, let's say a critical dimension or a finish to remain, a couple of clicks have provided the information needed. A design issue to be discussed with a consultant can get resolved by means of sharing them a screen capture of the specific detail or granting them temporary access to the model. No physical visits and cumbersome coordination efforts required. No delays in the decision making. No safety compromise. When virtual is the new normal, our documentation services put the gift of ubiquity in your hands.

Coping with the most challenging conjuncture of the modern era demands the best of our creativity and inventiveness. More than ever before, designers have the duty of helping delineate the future, and we are here to help you rise to the occasion.

Please count on us.
