Utilizing 3D Laser Scanning, CPC was commissioned by the General Contractor to verify the steel beam structures against the design plans. Identifying conflicts and exposing inaccuracies early in the process, before they occur, translates into significant savings for you on rework and design. Laser scanning can help reduce RFI’s and minimize the costs of change orders related to field conditions. Laser scanning provides the design team with more information upfront, enabling design decisions to be made sooner and resulting in a more comprehensive set of bidding drawings. This, in turn, allows contractors to have confidence in their bids, fully utilize BIM for virtual construction, and prefabricate more of their products. All of these factors enable contractors to meet critical path schedule dates and limit both reorders of materials and delays due to unforeseen field conditions.
