The Astronomical Costs of Rework
4
Construction rework consumes time, resources, and profits.
ý Project team members spend 4 hours per week dealing with
rework-related activities.
ý The median global cost of rework is 5.04% annually.
ý Rework costs the U.S. construction industry alone more than
$31 billion.
ý The average mid-sized construction company can see costs
exceeding $2 billion per year due to rework.
ý 52% of rework globally is caused by poor data and
miscommunication.

Solution: Get accurate and complete information the first time
You need a 3D laser scanning solution that makes it easy to quickly and accurately capture the as-is conditions
of the project. A solution that's capable of in-field registration creates a point cloud as you scan, providing fully
visualized details of what's been captured before you leave the jobsite. When you can rely on the ability to get
accurate and complete scan data the first time, you avoid the need to budget additional time for remeasuring to
obtain missing project information. Plus, you can reduce the risk of costly change orders after construction has
already started.
You also need the ability to integrate the scan data with CAD and other applications to streamline workflows,
promote project collaboration, and enable better data sharing. Scan-to-model capabilities help you overcome the
complexities of project communication by creating scan data that is aligned to the project coordinate system and
is immediately shareable with other applications and project stakeholders.
